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

Dumpster Fire Extinguished Pt 2

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/11/01

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! Well we get to find out what Jeremy wanted to unpack as well as delve even deeper into the teachings of the Stoics - who knew that we would go there? With his characteristic way of looking at the world, it's always a fun ride when Jeremy gets on board. Retirement, people being different than what we might assume they are (shocking I know) and learning how to harness professional detachment - these are where we go in part 2. Hope you enjoy. Song...

When the Dumpster Fire Is Extinguished-Or Is It? Pt 1

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/10/15

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! It's hard to imagine that 2 years have come and gone and Jeremy has returned to his home and his husband and his cat in Medicine Hat (that sounds like a Dr. Seuss book) and yet here we are. Join us as we talk about what he learned about himself and the people that he lived and worked with in Northern Alberta and then dive into his hot takes on what is happening south of the border. As it always is with Jeremy - it's a trip! And also as it always is w...

Apologies, Forgiveness and the Art of Not Being a D**k

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/10/01

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! Can you remember the last time that you had to apologize? Or the last time someone apologized to you? Or the time that you thought someone should apologize to you and didn't? Who among us can say that they haven't pissed someone off on purpose or inadvertently? I would like to think that it is more often the latter, but given the state of the world these days, I'm not so sure anymore. Here's my take on how I still struggle, despite "knowing better" a...

The Productivity Trap!

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/09/15

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! When we think about downtime, or maybe that should be DO we think about time time? And IF we do...what do we do about it? Is it the time to "get caught up"? Or is it actually down time? To do nothing of any importance? That's what I tackle in this episode - how can we, or more specifically, I, get better at taking advantage or downtime. More specifically, is there a way that I can get there before I literally run out of runway? (or in the case of thi...

Just Four Guys Who Made it Big - Beatles Pt 3

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/09/01

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! You may not have asked for it, but here it is anyway. The third and hopefully final episode on the Beatles. This time we take a look (or a listen) to Rubber Soul and consider the real gripe that we have and that is the historical, what we like to call, exaggeration, of the Beatles writ large. We look at some of the things held up as the reasons, justification or evidence of how they continue to be viewed as the GOAT and provide our rebuttals of...

Beatles vs Beach Boys (sort of Pt 2)

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/08/15

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! Right off the top I have to alert you to the fact that at around minute 8:37 or so, there is an error. I reference Brian Wilson being inspired by Revolver when I should have said it was Rubber Soul…apologies in advance. And as I was in the process of fixing it, there was a whole back-up inadvertent deleting situation that precluded that from happening 😩 Well - we had to do it. I alluded to it in the last episode and well, we went and did it. He...

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! Ever had one of those moments where you just couldn't believe your eyes or ears? Well, that's what this episode is about. The things that leave you asking - what in the world? (Or something perhaps a bit more colourful) While it's not exactly an episode brimming with rainbows and unicorns, it will hopefully give you pause, maybe make you crack a smile, possibly piss you off a bit but also, ideally make you think about the things that matter and...

The Wedding Edition

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/07/15

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! In this midsummer episode we go all things wedding. From my own, to the one that I deem to be the best wedding ever. And everything in between. How do we feel about weddings? What's so great or not great about weddings? Why do we even want to get married anyway? We've all (I'm assuming) been to at least one - probably a whole heck of a lot more than that, and I'm sure you all have wild and wacky, and probably some tacky tales about weddings you...

Airports and Airplanes: The In Between Places

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/07/01

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! Ahhh the joy of airports...wait...am I being serious. Well, I guess it's a matter of perspective. There are some really obnoxious things about airports, but lately, I've come to terms with them in a completely different way. So here's a look (or a listen - hahaha) to how I have come to view and appreciate airports, airplanes and all that space in between, most recently. No links, nothing to view or click...just my take on how getting places is really...

Rage Lady Rage - Pt 2

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/06/15

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! So we made it through to recognizing that both the women and the men had their moment in Barbie - and that's part of the problem. The source of the rage that we are talking about is deeply rooted in how virtually the entirety of society is built and trying to fix it or "take it down" is going to be no easy task. So in Pt 2, Trina and I look at some different ways that we can continue to approach it which will hopefully open more doors to conver...

Rage Lady Rage - Pt 1

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/06/01

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! I don't know about you, but sometimes it seems like there are just a million things to be angry about. Some of it is justified, but some of it is also just this bizarre slippery slope of things that feel a lot like that guy who just keeps pushing the rock up the mountain only to have it roll down the other side. So what if we took a different approach? What if we did something different that would net us an outcome where everyone could win?&nbs...

Garbage - Not the Band

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/05/15

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! Not what you might normally think would make for fascinating discussion, although there are people who actually study garbage...but this is not an archeological jaunt through the refuse of centuries or even millenia past - no - it's a look at the times we are in. Times that are rife with examples of all the myriad types of garbage that we contend with on an all too regular basis. And how perhaps a simple, and yet very complicated solution could help ...

The Second Coming

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/04/29

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! This is a first - the only real indication of what we were going to talk about was the fact that friend and returning guest, Jeremy Peressini, said that we needed to use the Yeats poem, the Second Coming as the jumping off point. So that's what we did and the rest, as they say, just came out of that. It's all over the map - the geopolitical map that is, and for those of you who have listened to previous episodes...well...the cards are revealed in thi...

It's Up to Us to Change The World

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/04/13

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! I was going to use all kinds of cool and heroic music for this...but somehow I got lost in the message and David and Tina's songs completely escaped the sieve that is my mind these days. But it's okay. I also almost talked myself out of this episode because I thought maybe it's too controversial, too political. But if not now then when? Now is the time for everyone to take a long, hard look around and decide if this is the world that we want to live ...

Two People Walk Into a Guitar Store...

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! Okay - so heads up folks, this is a long one. Feel free to skip to 1:26:567 if you want to get into the heart of this absolutely delightful romp all over the map with my guest Calvin Simonson, guitar hero/sound "engineer"/music aficionado and all around great guy. While knowing one another for all of 5 minutes prior to this show, we manage to hit all the major themes of personal growth, dropping out of school, musical influences, ghost stories, X-fil...

What Are You Looking Forward To?

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/03/15

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! The actual title of this was going to be, "The Fun and Folly of Having Something to Look Forward To" but that seemed too long. Which is not surprising considering I often use a million words when 12 will do...but the point of this episode is to look at what it is that we are or can look forward to in "these times" *cue ominous music here. Do we look forward to things, plan to do things, go places or what have you when we don't know from one day...

Joy and Movement - Let's Get Physical

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/03/01

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! So from Prince to Olivia Newton-John's iconic song, which only upon listening to it in preparation for this episode did the double entendre (which is not at all subtle) hit me smack in the face. But it's a suitable anthem for a look once again at joy this time in the context of movement, in the variety of ways that can be defined. It looks at "exercise" and challenge and doing hard things and showing up and how that all comes together to create oppor...

Prince Was Right All Along!

2025/02/16

Send us a text It took some doing to come up with a follow-up topic to my conversation with my pen pal, but then it struck me as there were all these signs pointing me in a particular direction. What do we control - or perhaps more importantly and significantly, what do we think we can control? Where in our lives can we affect change that will improve how we feel, interact or even function in a world that seems at best cataclysmic and at work pre-apocalyptic...Exaggeration? Maybe, but it FEEL...

Joy and Podcasting and Other Stuff - with my Pen Pal

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/02/01

Send us a text So this somehow ended up becoming a bit of a follow-up episode to my last conversation (with myself) only this time, I get to talk about stuff with my Pen Pal, Todd, who joins me from Portland. We talk joy, podcasts (making and listening and stats and such) and how important it is to make life decisions based on your path, not someone else's, and how finding that path takes effort and commitment. In order for there not to be too many spoilers, I'll leave it at that. I hope you ...

What I Do and Do Not Know (For Sure) or Otherwise

Walking Alongside: Perspectives ·

2025/01/19

Send us a textI did an episode a while ago on things I don't understand, and this is kind of a continuation on that, with an emphasis on learning and growing and being opening to change and all the things that I think make us better people. I'm not talking about just deep and meaningful things, thought some certainly are more important to me than others, and there are some downright silly things, that are kind of forehead slapping moments. When was the last time you thought about the stuff th...
