It’s simply about people like us. The choices we make, the turns we take, and the decisons that shaped our paths. Each episode is a conversation with real people - creators, builders, thinkers, educators, those on the front lines, and more - exploring their journeys, their expertise, and how they made it to today. Honest, human conversations about experience, growth, and the decisions that take us on our life journey.

A Life on the River: Fraser River Fishing Guide I Marc Laynes
Marc Laynes has spent 37 seasons guiding on the Fraser River, one of the world's only waterways where you can catch a white sturgeon. He started his business with handwritten letters and a VHS tape mailed to English travel agents before the internet existed, and he has spent decades chasing a legendary 14-foot fish he has never managed to land.
In this conversation, Marc and Atlee talk about what it means to turn a childhood obsession into a career, the surprisingly gentle bite of a 1,000-pound fish, and the kind of persistence that carries someone through 37 seasons of getting up before dawn. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to do exactly what you were built for, this is that story.
Topics covered: white sturgeon biology and behaviour, building a guiding business from scratch, how the Fraser River became a world-class fishing destination, and what a 150-million-year-old fish teaches you about how to live.

He Was Good at It. He Left Anyway I Duane Barg
Duane Barg farmed for 28 years -- third generation, bought into the family operation at 19, ran it until the economics of reinvestment made the decision for him. What he did not expect was that the hardest part of starting over would not be leaving the farm. It would be a grammar exam. In this episode, Duane talks about the reality of dairy farming (high asset, near-zero cash flow), what it takes to raise six kids in a working barn, and the slow-burning decision to walk away from the only career he had ever had. Now in his 50s, he is in university, working in a group home for adults with disabilities, and figuring out what comes next -- one uncomfortable step at a time. This is a story about staying curious, choosing vulnerability over comfort, and what it looks like to rebuild from scratch when you have every reason not to.
