Passion. It can be a driving force and from many of us Impact Makers---often a source of frustration or "piss off". How can we navigate soul deep drive AND living with grace for ourselves, others and with a sense of fulfillment and peace? These are big questions. Join me and guest co-host Mike Miltimore (yes my bro!) as we chat about big life transformative "stuff". Well maybe not so transformative but hopefully you might glean something of use from our shared experiences in business and life. Don't let the sibling rivalry distract you--we are pretty good biz partners and sometimes even friends :) Enjoy this special episode of Passion for Impact!

One of the best parts of hosting Passion for Impact is I get to have pre-interview chats with guests to get a feel for our chemistry and check in on the topics that matter most to them. Julie said one sentence to me and I was instantly thinking….now this is going to be a great conversation. Upbeat, real, raw, open and FUN–these are words that describe this inspiring human. First some background. Cole is a recovered lawyer, mom of six and co-founder of Mabel’s Labels. She has helped her company bring their product to a worldwide market, gain media recognition and win countless entrepreneur awards. Cole is a best-selling author, regular television contributor, a sought after speaker and emcee. And she is here sharing her energy and love with all of us. You can find her book, Birthing Businesses, Babies, and a Life Beyond Labels, at all major book sellers. Listen in and soak up Julie's refreshing perspectives on life, leadership and impact!

Trevor Walker is on the show and I have a bit of a professional crush on this man. I feel like he can see into people in a way that brings out the very best in who they are. It’s inspiring. Trevor is on a mission to prove that you are photogenic. Once a recruiter turned photographer, Trevor has recently moved into being a teacher to other business owners as well. What I love about his work is how he captures the essence of a spirit in a single photograph. I have been watching Trevor share his passion, purpose and talents on-line and reached out to him to be a guest because I know how hard it can be to turn a passion into a business. Trevor has done it and done it well. I want to know his secrets on how to be an impact maker while developing a brand and creating a successful business. Listen in to learn and grow!

In this episode of Passion for Impact I am speaking with Jessica Dolphin, HR Leader of Canada at 7-Eleven. This woman has energy, savvy HR and leadership skills and so generously shares her positive energy. She’s focused on mentorship, coaching and developing high performance teams while also bridging the strategy with relatability. Follow her on LinkedIn and you will totally get what I mean. When I think of making impact I know it starts with the heart–Jessica has heart and shares her personal journey to making impact one connection at a time.

Greg Bickert, founder and CEO of Inspire Property Management is one of those humans who lives, in biz and beyond, as a value-centred impact leader. He started working in the strata industry in 2005 and worked up to Managing Broker (the highest non-owner position in the company). Ultimately he left that company due to a toxic workplace. He then moved to another company, which appeared to be on the same path as the last. In 2015 he took the plunge and founded Inspire Property Management. The lessons learned from working in several companies (mostly what not to do) helped him to create the work environment that was recently selected as a finalist for the Kelowna Chamber’s Inclusive Workplace Award. In this open conversation Greg shares from his heart about how past trauma fuels his leadership, compassion and policies.
