Motivation Local S2 Ep 08: Kyle Hodgman and Kaleb Motz
<p>Motivation Local S2 Ep08 Season FinaleKyle Hodgman and Kaleb Motz"Punk Rock, Branding, and a New Flag for Medicine Hat"EPISODE SUMMARYTo close out Season 2, Corey sits down with two of Medicine Hat’s most creatively restless minds for the liveliest conversation of the season. Kyle Hodgman is a solopreneur and founder of Middle Name Creative Agency; Kaleb Motz is COO of Imagine Everything. They met on the first day of the Art and Design program at Medicine Hat College, bonded over band shirts, and spent the next five years in a punk band called The Social Threat, touring in a van that kept breaking down, playing shows they had no business playing, and learning most of what they know about business, craft, and collaboration from the experience.That DIY ethos never really left. The conversation moves through how both of them landed in Medicine Hat and chose to stay, the skills the band quietly built that still show up in their work today, and what Kyle has been developing ever since he watched a Roman Mars TED Talk about municipal flag design and couldn’t stop thinking about it: a new flag for Medicine Hat. Not an official submission. Not a committee process. A slow, subversive release into the community - stickers, shirts, lawn flags - to see if it takes root on its own.Three horizontal bands (blue sky, green valley, orange coulees and brick) with two zigzagging lines creating a symbol of interconnection and shelter. The whole design philosophy is right there in the episode: simple on the surface, sophisticated underneath, and open enough for the community to inject its own meaning. By the time you’re hearing this, it’s already out there somewhere in the city. Whether it flies is up to Medicine Hat.</p>

Motivation Local S2 Ep07: Brian Konrad
<p>Motivation Local S2 Ep07Brian Konrad"Forty Years of Telling Medicine Hat's Stories"EPISODE SUMMARYIn this warm and wide-ranging conversation, Corey sits down with Brian Konrad — the voice that has been woven into Medicine Hat’s daily rhythm for more than forty years. From his earliest days doing play-by-play for tabletop hockey as a kid, to a career that spanned CHAT and CJCY and took him to some of the city’s most defining moments, Brian has been a narrator, a guide, and in many ways an informal historian of this place.When the local newsroom shuttered in June 2025, Brian joined Bring Back the Porch, a podcast built around the neighbourly conversations that front porches used to hold: unhurried, curious, and rooted in the people and stories that don’t always make the daily news. We talk about how a career in broadcasting shapes your relationship with a community, what it felt like to walk back into the old arena, why the lesson “just be yourself” landed so hard at age 21, and what a healthy local information ecosystem actually needs to survive.It’s a conversation between two people who both understand — from very different sides of the microphone — what it means to keep showing up for your hometown.</p>

Motivation Local S2 Ep06: Deborah Forbes
<p>In this rich and warm conversation, Corey sits down with Travis Boser: teacher, theater director, podcast host, and one of Medicine Hat’s most quietly influential creative community builders. Travis grew up in Sceptre, Saskatchewan, a small town where everyone knew your name and volunteering kept everything running. That small-town ethic, he says, is still the engine behind everything he does.Travis talks about finding his people at Medicine Hat Musical Theatre, where he arrived in 2017 for Sister Act and never really left. He traces the arc of MHMT, from its origins in the 1960s to its current four-shows-a-year season, and reflects on what makes the organization hum: shared vulnerability, a unified goal, and a completely volunteer-driven community that keeps growing. He also opens up about directing Mambo Italiano, a deeply personal production rooted in his own experience as a queer man, and about creating Canada Out of the Closet, a podcast built on the belief that hearing someone’s story makes it harder to fear them.Throughout, the conversation circles back to belonging - the difference between fitting in and being truly seen. Travis speaks with honesty and gratitude about the teachers and mentors who created safe spaces for him before he even knew he needed them, and about how that experience now shapes the way he shows up for his own students, his cast members, and his community.</p>
