Had a great weekend getting out of Canada for the first time in over 2.5 years. In case you missed my update last week (how dare you…), I decided to spend the weekend in NYC to visit one of my best childhood friends. To spend time with him, his wife and also their baby, who …

Had a busy day due to the networking event I ran last week, which meant leaving the office early to get to the location downtown, still taking a few calls in the afternoon, buying snacks and setting up ahead of time, and not getting home until late. Luckily the event went very well, so please …
Hey folks, hope you had a great weekend. Mine wasn’t so bad, it’s just so freakin’ hot here in Toronto. It’s weird to say, because the running joke is usually about how cold it is in Canada, but: we usually get pretty warm summers, and this seems to be an abnormally hot summer around the …

Happy Monday folks, we’re off to a good start this week. Today I had a quarterly catch up call with the incubator that my immigration tech company, Visto, is a member of. Quick step back here. For those not so well-versed in the tech world – I didn’t know most of this ~3 years ago …

Despite never being much of a runner, I decided to run a marathon a few years ago. I initially thought it was going to be the biggest physical challenge of my life (spoiler: it was), but eventually realized I was learning far more than just how to run a very long distance (42km for those …
Boy was my head all over the place last week. If you read my previous blog post (why the heck wouldn’t you?), you know it’s a weird time right now. Things usually slow down a bit in the summer, but the economy isn’t looking all that great. And it could get worse. So we’re thinking …

Is there anything more fun than coming back to your inbox after a week off? As a quick aside and an example of something that is even less fun, our flight home from a trip to Banff (highly recommended travel destination!) last week actually got cancelled. We were supposed to fly back to Toronto from …
It all started with a book This story starts about two-and-a-half years ago, in December 2019, thanks to a book. At the time, I’d say I was in a bit of rut – not a professional rut, not an emotional rut, more of a physical rut. I’ve always done a good job at staying active, …
