   Episode 50 - Holly Tetzlaff: Treating people the way you would like to be treated and have a genuine desire to make a difference in the lives of others.

   After about a month away, I’m so excited to have the opportunity to work on Episode 50 of Keeping It Positive! And I couldn’t think of a better person to celebrate this milestone with.This episode features such a special human being. If it weren’t for brand, who knows if our paths would have ever crossed? I had the opportunity to meet Holly and her family through her oldest sister, Gracie, and getting to know them has truly been one of the greatest gifts imaginable. They are some of the best people you will ever meet.I think Holly has built a life rooted in curiosity, compassion, and a genuine desire to make a difference in the lives of others. Whether through sports, science, her award-winning work, or simply the way she treats the people around her, Holly has always been driven to learn, help others, and create positive change.Her journey eventually led her to kinesiology and the world of prosthetics and orthotics, where science, technology, problem-solving, and human connection come together to help people improve their mobility and quality of life.Holly also has a lifelong connection to Terry Fox. From being pushed in a stroller by her mom at her very first Terry Fox Run, to never missing a Run, and eventually becoming involved with the Sudbury Terry Fox Run Committee, Terry’s determination, selflessness, and desire to help others have had a lasting influence on her life. The timing of this episode couldn’t be more fitting, with the Sudbury Terry Fox Run happening this weekend! This was such an awesome episode, and it was amazing having the opportunity to catch up, and learn more about Holly’s journey. Holly, thank you for always leading with kindness, positivity, and a heart of gold. The world needs more people like you!

   Episode 49 - Matthew Spina: Dream big, work harder. If you have the option to be good, you should take it.

   This week’s guest is another amazing individual, Matty Spina! I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to meet him during our university days, and even more grateful that we’ve stayed such good buddies ever since. Matt’s career path is a fascinating one, and I’m incredibly proud of how far he’s come. Soccer has played a huge role in his journey, from working with local clubs and helping grow the sport at the grassroots level here in Sudbury, to moving up through Ontario Soccer, Canada Soccer, Toronto FC, and to the FIFA World Cup.He’s always on the grind, always doing great things, and he truly deserves every bit of success coming his way. Matt is one of the most lovable, caring, and hard-working people you’ll ever meet. His resume is impressive, but what’s even more impressive is the person behind it. He always makes time for others, shows up for people, and has a heart of gold. Whenever he’s back in town, he goes out of his way to visit, that’s just who he is.

   Episode 48 - Veronyk Zinn: Treat everyone with kindness and respect.

   It was such a special opportunity to record Episode 48 with the incredible Véro! This conversation was filled with so many meaningful topics. We talked about growing up in Sudbury, how she got her start with Tutor Doctor, helping grow the family business, entrepreneurship, community involvement, finding a healthy work-life balance, building strong relationships, working with others, and different leadership styles.One of the things I admire most about Véro is the energy she brings wherever she goes. Every time you see her, she’s smiling, happy, and making the people around her feel welcome. She works incredibly hard, not only as a mom, but as a businesswoman and community leader. Everything she does is rooted in kindness, authenticity, and a desire to make a positive difference!
