Walking Alongside: Perspectives

Welcome to Walking Alongside: Perspectives. Take a walk with me as we explore perspectives that I find interesting, moving, ridiculous, hilarious, infuriating, frustrating or down right bizarre! This iteration of the podcast features a combination of short (read 10-15 minutes"ish or less) solo-pods sharing what I have seen, heard, experienced or am navigating and fun and insightful conversations with cool people. Hopefully it will be relatable, possibly humourous, thought provoking or at the very

The Name Game -or- What's In A Name?

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/01/04

Send us a textHappy New Year!!! How is it already 2025? Hope it's going well so far, and here's a question for you...Have you ever thought about your name? Or pondered why movie star's names are what they are? Well, so have we! Daphne and I discourse on the sometimes thorny topic of names and why it matters, especially these days as people express themselves in different ways than before, and who the "folks in the biz" are who changed their names. Hopefully it reminds you of all the people th...

Send us a textDon't let the title scare you! If you have ever wondered why you are behaving the way you are, or why you just can't seem to make yourself do...well...anything, it might be because your body is trying to tell you something. Have you been dealing with a lot for seemingly ever? That's a clue. Did you recently get in a car crash or fall and hit your head and you've been feeling off and can't quite get it together? That's a clue. Join me in a fascinating conversation with Sheila Alm...

The ARTS: Should NOT be Optional

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2024/11/18

Send us a textWhen you think about the arts, it's likely that your thoughts go to museums - the Louvre (of course) or our own AGA or maybe things like the symphony or possibly and hopefully local theatre like the Citadel or even Broadway. But do you think about who the people are who make the art or the music or write or act in the plays? Why not? Is it because it's this abstract concept because we're too busy thinking about practical things like sensible educations and careers with prospects...

2024/11/02

Send us a textWhen you think about your mental health (and I hope you do) do you consider that most of the time we might actually be taking it for granted? That we assume we're going to wake up every morning and be okay or fine or good to go, or whatever phrase pops automatically out of our mouths. But what happens when slowly, insidiously there is a gradual shift that isn't super obvious but one day smacks you in the head and you realize, wait a minute why do I feel so crappy? It's Movember,...

How Dumpster Fires Build Resilience

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2024/10/19

Send us a textI wouldn't wish on my worst enemy (well, maybe my WORST enemy) what my friend Jeremy has had to endure, deal with and overcome over the last almost 2 years. In this episode we talk about what happens when life takes a dramatic and unexpected left turn, what a person can do to prepare themselves for the those improbable situations and what the lessons are that will help to move us forward or in a completely different direction. There is a crazy 'crime drama' pod scene and some co...

Who Doesn't Like Music?

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2024/10/03

Send us a textThis is the third and final installment of our series on all things music and we cover so many things. Lyrics, musicality, motifs, feelings and life experiences and all the things that music is and influences. We talk about a wide range of artists and what they mean to us or how they have affected us, and as usual there are some interesting takes. Whether or not you agree or disagree, we hope that you will come to appreciate whatever it is that you love to listen to with a new a...

The Beatles

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2024/09/15

Send us a textWell - here we are with our second installment of our series on music, and this time we are going head to head discussing the Beatles. It is in my opinion, one of the most polarizing bands, for reasons we will get into in this episode. There are some more clips from songs you will likely know well, at least recognize, and if you're like most people either love or hate. Daphne shares their amazing insights into a band that has for me, always been a bit problematic. Regardless of ...

David Bowie - The Man, the Music, the Movies

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2024/08/31

In this episode - I have a special guest/cohost! None other than my kiddo Daphne. Audiophile in the making, they are joining me in a three part series where we look at music and what it means to us, what we think about it, and what we actually like about it. In this first installment, we talk all things David Bowie - well maybe not ALL things. But we do consider a number of his albums, some classic and slightly more obscure songs, and ponder his movies - for better or for worse. It's a super ...

Out of the Ashes - Creativity and Inspiration

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2024/08/27

Sometimes things happen that seem on the surface to be tragic or difficult or challenging and sometimes they are some or all of those things. As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. But so to is creativity and inspiration sometimes either the result of those hard times. This is a short, fast and furious look at some recent events that have cemented for me the idea that there is always something good that can come out of dark times, and that the light that is creativity and i...

The Perspective Changing Power of Travel

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2024/08/05

When you travel - there are so many things that could happen. Being on a cruise ship, which is really more like being on location than truly travelling, or going to a resort, which while ticking the boxes of "getting away from it, having some downtime and relaxing" doesn't really allow for a true experience of wherever you are. Truly travelling provides so many opportunities to live like the locals. To be able to see things on the beaten path and off. To let go of ideas that might have their ...

Friendship

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2024/06/25

Friends - we hopefully all have 'em. We need to have those people in our lives that keep us grounded, call us out on our BS and are there when things hit the fan. Whether near or far, old or new, casual or close, friends are the glue that keep our humanity together. In this episode I consider the types of friends we have, how we can make them and how they make our lives better. Thanks Judy Garland and Jonny Mercer for the inspiration. And thanks everyone out there who I'm lucky enough t...

Customer Service - The Spoonful of Sugar

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2024/06/07

If you think that you customer service is a thing of the past, then I would challenge you to pay more attention to not only what you bring to the interaction, but what the people that you are interacting with are dealing with and how if you look a little deeper, there are probably lots of examples of people doing a great job, in potentially the weirdest or least expected of places.

A Moral Obligation

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2024/05/17

It's not about religion - so don't be put off by the title. I gave up church during the pandemic...long story. But I still believe that there is an inherent responsibility that all people have regardless of any spiritual affiliation or lack thereof. So when people who by virtue of a position they find themselves in, don't abide by the idea of doing right by people, it makes me...well...cross. So this is me sharing my indignation sparked by a bad move (in my opinion) by one of my (former) favo...
