For 100 days in a row from March until June, I went on Instagram live (@ryanseeker) and chatted with whomever I wanted. And a show happened.
Now - after a few months of rest - join me as I interview friends and connections around Canada and the world to ask how they have adapted to these "unprecedented times" and some of the downs and ups of this rollercoaster in our collective history.
Released every other Thursday at 7pm EDT.
Susie Kahlich (@prettydeadlyofficial) has travelled the world developing and teaching a revolutionary self-defence program that weaponizes everyday gestures — giving her students a physical vocabulary in case of emergency. We talk about how the origin story of Pretty Deadly Self-Defense, how patriarchy lays the foundation for victim-blaming and, the Karate Kid.
Oh, and we talk about how Pretty Deadly Self-Defense will become an international household, now that it has reached CIMSPA accreditation in the UK - the world is sure to follow.

Artistic phenomenon and fancy foodie Maddox Lu @maddoxthings and I have known each other for a long time. In this episode we talk about where his career ambition originated, how he repeatedly "lucked-in" to amazing opportunities (like designing Cher's makeup) and how COVID has revealed his next passion.

"Revelations: The Book of Mike" w/ Mike Smith
Toronto-based Super Queer/Career Queerdo Mike Smith is a non-binary, harm reduction and sexual health advocate who's not afraid to talk about their past in the work that they do. Mike grew up in a extremely religious Mormon household and came to terms with their sexuality and gender identity under the iron dome of an uncompromising religious culture — even surviving multiple rounds of conversion therapy.
And yet, Mike has found a way to use their experience to illuminate and bridge build, including with their own family and sharing harm reduction and accepting ethos with other faith-based organizations.
