   Episode 25: Always looking for Education

   From the beginning of this journey, I've learned that some of the best opportunities don't come from making a sales pitch—they come from asking questions, listening, and being willing to learn. In Episode 25, Always Looking for Education, I share a few recent experiences reaching out to people I admire, not to sell them anything, but simply to ask for advice and hear their perspective. It's a reminder that you'll hear some "no's" along the way, but more often than not, people are willing to help if you're genuine. I also take you along on the latest stops of the Great Canadian Rink Tour as we close in on 100 rinks, reflect on Charlie's U17 lacrosse season and the incredible impact of five dedicated non-parent coaches, and share why coaches, mentors, and community leaders can leave a lasting mark on a young person's life. I wrap up the episode with a personal story about my routine colonoscopy. It begins with a few laughs, but after sharing it with a group of dads at Charlie's year-end lacrosse gathering, one comment changed the way I looked at the story. What I thought was simply a funny experience became a reminder that sometimes the stories we're willing to share can encourage someone else. You never know when a laugh can lead to a meaningful conversation—or even make a difference in someone's life. I hope this episode reminds you to stay curious, keep learning, and never be afraid to ask for help. Sometimes the greatest lessons don't come from books, podcasts, or business meetings. They come from a conversation, a coach, a hockey rink, or an unexpected moment that changes the way you see things. If there's one theme that ties this episode together, it's this: we're all teachers, we're all students, and if we stay open to learning, life has a way of educating us every single day.

   Episode 24: 30 Years in Business (1996–2026)

   Thirty years. Countless lessons. In this episode, I'm joined by Jamie Doherty from SEDC for an honest conversation about my 30-year journey in business, from starting Johnny K Sports in 1996 to building For the Love of the Game®, Stay Social®, and The Great Canadian Rink Tour™. We discuss the highs, the setbacks, the risks, and the lessons that only time can teach. From growing a small business to adapting through change, this episode is about perseverance, relationships, and continuing to learn every day. A big thank you to Jamie and the team at SEDC for the opportunity to reflect on the journey. Whether you're an entrepreneur, athlete, coach, or simply someone working toward a goal, I hope this conversation gives you a few ideas and encouragement for your own path. Thanks for listening.... Johnny K
