Trevor Turnbull
VULNERABLE, HONEST STORIES TO INSPIRE YOU TO EMBRACE YOUR “MESS” & LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE.I’ll be honest. I didn’t always think that “speaking your truth” was empowering. For most of my life, I did what most people do (before they shift their beliefs). I let my ego dictate my decisions and how I showed up in the world. And, it wasn’t until I spoke my own vulnerable, honest truth that I was able to embrace my “messy” journey in life … and turn it into my message.This podcast was created to provide me with a platform to have REAL conversation with people that have influenced and inspired me on my journey. And, my hope is that it will provide you with an enlightened perspective to shift your own limiting beliefs to become the greatest version of yourself and live your best life. Be Grateful. Be Curious. Be Brave.
100 Episodes! When I began this journey in August 2021 I knew that this day would come. But, I had no idea all the “wins” and “losses” I would experience along the way. It’s been over 18 months now and my life has flipped upside down.
In this episode, I spoke about “what’s alive and real” in my life right now as I navigate co-hosting a men’s retreat, finding love again with my wife, becoming a more conscious parent and facing (and reframing) conflict in my life.
My hope in recording this episode is that YOU find value in hearing the vulnerable, honest truth about my journey with the hope that it inspires you to trust your heart and follow your dreams!

This episode was recorded on Dec 31, 2022 (after the kids went to bed early on New Years Eve) and spoke about my INTENTION heading into 2023. As well as “ranked” myself in each of the 12 Pillars Of Wealth.

ABOUT The Trevor Turnbull Show 👇 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
VULNERABLE, HONEST STORIES TO INSPIRE YOU TO EMBRACE YOUR “MESS” & LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE.
I’ll be honest. I didn’t always think that “speaking your truth” was empowering. For most of my life, I did what most people do (before they shift their beliefs). I let my ego dictate my decisions and how I showed up in the world. And, it wasn’t until I spoke my own vulnerable, honest truth that I was able to embrace my “messy” journey
In this episode, I’m joined by Yati Or. Yati is a Wim Hof Certified Instructor, Free Dive Coach and Surf Coach who lives in Pachamama, Costa Rica. I first met Yati at the Mycellium Pathways (Mushroom) experience at La Senda that he co-facilitated with his wife Ayama.
Immediately after the mushroom experience I found out Yati was leading a Wim Hof Fundamentals Workshop at the same location and I signed up right away. It was an amazing experience of education, breathwork, stretching and ice bath!
I sat down with Yati after this experience to talk to him in person (at La Senda) to discuss what brought him to this work and why he has committed his life to helping others experience the art of breath and ice therapy to support healing, self-acceptance and expansion of consciousness.
Episode Topic5:36 | The two times I’ve met Yati at the La Senda dome & labrinth
10:57 | Yati speaks about his moment of awakening (and his vision of a Yogi)
14:23 | Yati explains why “trusting” is not enough … you need to pay the price
16:14 | Yati talks about the importance of daily practice (and intention)
19:05 | How to find inner peace in the silence and calm
20:10 | Yati discusses his experience training directly with Wim Hof
25:52 | Yati runs Trevor through a round of the Wim Hof Method breathwork
35:10 | How can you connect with Yati?
Episode Quotes“In the journey, we are guided. You just need to listen to the signs. You’ll get the messages. If you listen, you get more instructions for your life” - Yati Or
“It’s not enough to simply trust and follow the path. You also need to put in the work” - Yati Or
“Presence taught me an important lesson — It doesn’t matter where I am, I'm always home.” - Trevor Turnbull
“Meeting with Wim Hof for the first time was like meeting an avatar. His vibration is in the 5th dimension. He’s still here, but his vibration is very intense.” - Wim Hof

In this episode I provided a full download of my experience at the Mycelium Pathways experience at La Senda Costa Rica with Ayama & Yati. This was the first time I had taken magic mushrooms (psilocybin) in over 24 years.
I will refer to a time before this experience and after it. To say that it was transformational would be a massive understatement. Not just because of the “trip” I experienced, but also the people I met and the incredible connection we all shared when everyone spoke about their personal experience at the end of the event.
Episode Topic2:13 | The story about my first experience with psilocybin in 1998
5:37 | Why I decided to do psilocybin again after 24 years
10:22 | The fear I have had about doing psilocybin
12:22 | My first impression when I arrived at La Senda at night
16:55 | My first impression of the ceremony dome
20:20 | My intention heading into the mushroom ceremony
22:50 | The awareness I gained around “judgment” (of myself and others)

In this episode I’m joined by Zach Puchtel. Zach and I first met in 2013 when we attended a leadership experience together in Los Angeles. This was an incredible conversation with an incredible man. A man that was a self labeled “jock” who grew up in Minnesota and went to LA to pursue his creative / artistic dreams.
We dove deep into how Zach has evolved as a leader over the past 8 years and how he looked inward (and accessed his feminine side) to become the man he is today. Part of this journey has also been a complete surrender to flow.
Conversations like this matter (and ripple out into the world). I am grateful to have met Zach and even more grateful that our paths have crossed once again … as there is no double we will create a more beautiful world together.

In this episode I’m joined by Ryan Peters (again). This was a special episode as it was the first interview from the beach in Playa Grande, Costa Rica. I setup the RODE Wireless Go II microphones and recorded with surfboards and the waves in the background (after a great surf session).
You might remember Ryan from back in January 2022 when I interviewed him on the podcast. Back then we talked about his background and what led him to “live his best life in paradise” down in Costa Rica.
This interview was a follow up to dig deeper in why he chose Costa Rica. As well as how he’s supported me through all the challenges of picking up and moving our family to Tamarindo. We also discussed the incredible opportunities for forward thinking entrepreneurs that want to live this life…and contribute to the growth of the local economy and people in Costa Rica.

In this episode I’m joined by Heather Hanson Wickman. She is the co-founder of Be Untethered and the author of The Evolved Executive. Her clients struggle with navigating change and uncertainty, making massive career transitions, and building highly engaged and top-performing teams.
In this conversation we discussed her “breakdown” 6 years ago that led her to quit her “dream job” to support high-achieving executives and entrepreneurs explore how plant medicines (like Ayahuasca, Psilocybin and San Pedro) can help them experience profound change, heal from the past, and provide clarity to the future.
This was a truly enlightening conversation on a topic that many people are now exploring (including myself). Heather’s willingness to own her truth and step into her purpose is truly paving a path for others to explore plant medicines as a way to unlock one’s true potential & purpose and then how to integrate this work with the guided support of “horse medicine”.

In this episode I spoke about the 12 Dimensions Of Life (again). These are foundational pieces to what I believe that I get to embody (and constantly level up) to truly live a fulfilling life. It was something I created back in Nov 2021 (as I was going through my own personal reflection on “what does it mean to have it all…and is it possible for me to attain it?”)
What I shared in this episode was not only the “what” behind the 12 Dimensions Of Life (and how I’ve adjusted a few of them over the past 3 months)…but also where I’m currently grading myself on my own personal journey to actualize my full potential.
I kept it real in this recording. I told the truth. Which is not to say that I’m crushing it in all areas of my life. But, what we measure…improves. And, I hope that you find inspiration in what I’ve created and who I’m committed to becoming….every single day.
Episode Topic1:00 | Do I need to “have it all” at your expense?
1:40 | The path that led me to create the 12 Dimensions Of Life
5:42 | Why I get to be selfish about making myself #1
7:25 | Why I decided to re-define the 12 Dimensions Of Life

In this episode I provided an update on our recent move to Tamarindo, Costa Rica. There have been many pieces of it that have gone exactly as planned … and others that have been flipped upside down.
To summarize … it has been incredible, challenging, beautiful, messy, dark, light, painful, enlightening, etc., etc., etc. A true representation of duality.
If you are (or have) considered moving your family to Costa Rica … I hope you find this helpful! :)
Grateful for this experience. We are blessed beyond measure. And the journey continues!

In this episode I’m joined by Gene Bernier. We connected on LinkedIn about a year ago and met in person (in the river) on the Cold Plunge Truth! I remembered thinking that this guy has some wisdom to share and an authenticity to him that makes him a humble, impactful coach to leaders.
Gene leaned in with me to address where he is “misaligned” and “out of integrity” with his own message and how he serves his clients. It was an interesting experience (for both of us) to speak the truth out loud and commit to being better versions of ourselves by speaking the vulnerable, honest truth out loud.
Episode Topic4:40 | Gene and Trevor reflect on how they connected (and jumped into a river)
8:20 | Who is Gene Bernier?
13:22 | Why asking “what do you do” is the wrong question
14:41 | Why are people “resistant” to jumping into the fog?
16:28 | Where has Gene thrown himself into the fog?
20:50 | Why don’t we ask the “hard” questions in life?
22:55 | Why are great coaches great listeners?
24:58 | Trevor speaks about Philip McKernan “holding uncomfortable space”
30:29 | Trevor and Gene talk about the power of being mindful
32:42 | What is the “magic sauce” to being an incredible coach
35:34 | How does Gene integrate his coaching into being a Dad?
42:17 | Trevor asks Gene to Speak The Truth about where he’s misaligned with his message
51:05 | Gene speaks about “braving the wilderness” in the cold river
55:30 | How finding the beauty in the storm can change your life
57:59 | What is the ONE thing that Gene is most grateful for right now?
Episode Quotes“When I get comfortable, there is a sense of boredom. That’s why I get up at 5am to hike a mountain. Because I know I need to do those difficult things to remind myself that I’m alive and that I can overcome complacency.” - Gene Bernier
“I work with leaders that are trapped in the fog. They are really good at what they do, but when they step into a new leadership role, there is an unknown that is uncomfortable. The fog is an incredible teacher.” - Gene Bernier
“I used to ask my podcast guests - what’s the one piece of advice you’d give yourself 10 years ago. I’ve since switched it to - what’s the thing future you will say thank you to you for. It’s about looking forward to find clarity.” - Gene Bernier
“My daughter asked me if I wanted to play Exploding Kittens in the middle of my day. My initial reaction was - awe I really gotta get back to work. But I thought - NO - that’s exactly what I want to be doing right now.” - Gene Bernier

In this episode I celebrate my 1 year anniversary since the launch of The Trevor Turnbull Show! It was enlightening to look back on this journey and reflect on all the “false starts” and “unnecessary delays” that had me launch in August 2021.
I reflected on the guests I was fortunate to talk with on over 55 interviews and some of the highlights from those interviews. I also talked about how the production, post-production and distribution of my podcast evolved over the past year to be a finely tuned machine with detailed workflows executed by an exceptionally talented team.
And, finally, I talked about how I’m going to shift/pivot my approach to podcasting going forward so it is more in line with the life I get to live in Costa Rica, as well as my calling to step up and TRULY amplify the impact of the change makers I speak with every week!
If you’ve spent any time listening, watching or reading content on my podcast….thank you!!! It means a lot to me. And, know that this is just the beginning as podcasting is a “way of being” for me now. :)

Kaylor is a contrarian and holds no punches when speaking out against mainstream opinion. Kaylor faced his mental health head-on and tackled his long history with anxiety and depression.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Nima Rahmany. Nima is a 2 time guest on my show. And while the first go around was powerful, this conversation ascended to a whole new level! Nima and I met in person on March 10, 2022. A day that both of us will never forget.
Nima shares a story about what happened that day that changed his life forever (and ultimately got him arrested and charged with domestic violence). He shared what he has learned from that experience, how he has processed the incident and what he did (and is continuing to do) to take personal responsibility for his part. This is a vulnerable, honest conversation that will serve many people that have been through (or are currently facing) a similar situation.
He has truly turned his “mess” into his “message”. And, by sharing his story, he is serving others to heal from anxiety and codependency, dismantle recurring family conflicts and create secure relationships from the toxic situations we’ve all inherited from our family of origin (parents, caregivers, siblings)
Episode Topic6:10 | The truth about why I sent my wife to Nima to “fix her”
8:10 | How Nima contributed to the Extremely Conscious Men’s Retreat
17:34 | What happened after Nima’s Overview event on March 11, 2018
35:26 | How do you heal a relationship when the system is broken?
43:26 | Why the “blame game” is a losing battle
47:25 | Can you save a relationship if your partner doesn’t “do the work”?
51:38 | What does it mean to embody “my mess is my message”?
53:25 | What does it mean to be “trigger proof” and a “cycle breaker”?
57:24 | Why we should not “forgive” … we should “understand”
Episode Quotes“In my own personal experience of working with social workers or psychologists, I’ve walked out of the sessions thinking - you are doing the right thing Trevor. But, I was thinking to myself - this shit ain’t working!” - Trevor Turnbull
“Most modalities (of healing) and society structures are very into promoting the victim story. No one gets together by chance. We call in people to purposely bring up our childhood wounding. It’s important for us to break these trauma bonds and get to the root cause of why it happens” - Dr. Nima Rahmany
“The #MeToo movement has been amazing for exposing and bringing to light people who have constantly been silenced and feeling ashamed because they don’t want to speak up. But, like all good things they have a shadow. And, now the #MeToo movement has been weaponized.” - Dr. Nima Rahmany

Craig is a passionate mental health advocate as well as the CEO & Co-Founder of Eversio Wellness & Eversio Labs - an expanding mushroom wellness company with big plans for the future of fungi. I first met Craig at the Extremely Conscious Men’s Retreat that I co-hosted with Michael Prince.

“Someone told me once that if I am going to launch this business and go public, I better be able to meditate on a rocket ship. I didn’t really get it at that point in time. But, I now have a non-negotiable meditation time at 12pm where I put my feet in the grass and recharge.” - Craig Garden

In this episode I talked about our addiction to “identity”. We do it to attain status in society. We do it to feel like we belong to a tribe. But, the truth is, you are not defined by a “Myers Briggs” type or a “Kolbe” score. And, you are not defined by your college degree, job, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identification or any other “box” that we gravitate to in order to feel safe and included.
You are a spiritual being living a human experience (just like me). And, when you suppress this reality, you are robbing yourself of living your true calling. I spoke about my journey (going all the way back to identifying as a “hockey player” to now being an impact amplifier who is here to serve the change makers of the world with my gifts). This episode is for anyone that has thought to themselves … “There has to be more to this life. I know I’m meant to create more impact in this world. I am ready to live my best life.” You know who you are. I hope you find value in this episode!
Episode Topic2:20 | You are much more than your Kolbe score
4:30 | Life is short..but why do we need death to love more?
9:40 | My identity as a “hockey player” (1976 - 1996)
13:36 | My identity as a “college student” (1997 - 2003)

Forget about the fact that those people he’s connecting are highly successful in business. At the end of the day, he sees character in the person before he ever worries about how much money they make.
Kevin and I dove into how he didn’t even intend on creating the business he now leads and how his humble beginnings have led to him being the “connector” to some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world. This interview will be inspiring to anyone that might be wondering how they can build the business and life they’ve always dreamed of by being a super connector!

But, more importantly, they were some of the most giving, generous people that I knew.” - Kevin Thompson
“Just being a connector of other people is an incredible business model (and a way of being).” - Trevor Turnbull
“By asking questions and being genuinely interested in what someone has to say, you end up giving people a gift that is very rare. You give them the gift of being seen, heard and understood.” - Kevin Thompson

In this episode I spoke about the 12 Dimensions Of Life. These are foundational pieces to what I believe we all need to embody (and constantly level up) to truly live a fulfilling life. It was something I created back in Nov 2021 (as I was going through my own personal reflection on “what does it mean to have it all…and is it possible for me to attain it?”)
What I shared in this episode was not only the “what” behind the 12 Dimensions Of Life…but also where I’m currently grading myself on my own personal journey to attaining self-actualization.
I kept it real in this recording. I told the truth. Which is not to say that I’m crushing it in all areas of my life. Quite the opposite. But, I am committed to always evolving. And, I hope that you find inspiration in what I’ve created and who I’m committed to becoming….every single day.

In this episode I’m joined by Michael Hession. Michael is a long time client (and friend) who is disrupting what we know about the “financial planning” industry. He helps entrepreneurs build lasting financial security by transforming debt into wealth using specific, low-risk, proven whole-life insurance policies that place you in the driver’s seat of your finances.

In this episode I reflected on the this past weekend where we hosted 8 magnificent, elevated men at our first Extremely Conscious Men’s Retreat. I spoke about the entire journey from when Mike and I met on the streets of Glenrosa (our community), how our friendship evolved over the past number of months, why we decided to create a retreat, the ups and downs of organizing the retreat and then reflections on the experience of the past weekend.
As I write this, I’m both grateful and proud of what we’ve created. Grateful because we are truly blessed beyond measure to have created this event. And proud because OF COURSE we created this magical experience. We are the conscious creators of everything in our lives!
I’m currently integrating all of the lessons I’ve learned throughout this experience and I’m excited to see what we will create going forward. The world needs more conscious men that will help raise the next generation by BEING the change we wish to see in this world.

Episode Quotes “When I planned a - bro weekend - with my neighbor Mike Prince, my first thought was - can I really just get away for the weekend, without my wife and kids. Am I selfish for thinking that I can spend some time to do self-reflection and quite frankly do nothing if I want to.” - Trevor Turnbull
“My wife and I go away for a couple retreat every quarter and we make it non-negotiable. And, of course, there are always a million reasons why we should cancel every time, but we do it anyway because it’s important.” - Trevor Turnbull
“We ended our retreat weekend with a cold plunge. It was a metaphor for the - hard shit - we face in our lives. Many of them having nothing to do with physical challenges we face but rather speaking out loud your truth or acknowledging a pain that has happened in your past.” - Trevor Turnbull
“You can muscle your way to getting the wife, the kids, the house, the cars, the trips…but there is always this empty feeling of - is that all there is? And then as men we default to - what’s next!? That can be completely draining.” - Trevor Turnbull
“My committed action and what I call into my life shows up for me. I just need to be consciously aware enough to recognize it and move when those opportunities present themselves. When you start moving you create momentum.” - Trevor Turnbull

In this episode, I’m joined by a 2nd time guest - David Muntner. David is a word magician and visionary thinker. Every time I chat with him, the words and ideas flow. I hired David and his team back in September 2021 when Danielle Grant and I were birthing the idea of The SOURCE Collective.
We talked about the process that he ran us through to help us create the vision. And, we let the conversation go wherever it needed to go. If you are a “creative” thinker (or aspire to be one), you are going to enjoy the way this chat goes down one path, ends up on another and eventually ties back to the foundation of how we started.
This was my favorite conversation on the podcast to date. David’s team calls him the “pinball” and he says “Yes, I am the pinball wizard. We are making magic all day.” If you aspire to write a song that tells the story of your life, you are going to want to listen to this one!
Episode Topic6:10 | David tells a story about the word “energize”
7:07 | Trevor provides an update on what’s happened the past few months
10:00 | David talks about how the book “Messy” was impactful for him

46:41 | David supports Trevor in expanding on the vision of The SOURCE Collective
57:08 | David explains what he’s up to and how you can work with him Episode Quotes“The question I was putting to the universe back in September 2021 was…can I have it all? Is it even possible? Do I need to sacrifice that in order to get this?” - Trevor Turnbull
“I have an alter-ego. His name is Davey Harris. He’s released 3 songs with another 100 or so coming soon. My goal is to release more songs than the Beatles. I write songs really fast.” - David Muntner

In this episode I decided to “free flow” a bit. No script. No notes. Just speaking the truth. Channeling whatever comes to mind. If you’ve been following my journey for any length of time (in particular the past 6 months), you would have seen that I’ve gone through a dramatic transition. What I used to “believe to be true”...I no longer “believe to be true”.
So, what changed? Why do I speak my truth freely? Why am I not concerned about what people might think? What has it created in my life? What has it left behind? These are all questions I addressed in this episode.
And, I share this with YOU right now, because if you choose to watch/listen to my message, I want to invite you to “Reclaim YOUR Higher Self”. The first step is here: https://thesourcecollective.net
Curious? Click the link above and begin your journey.
Did I lose you already? Please close this episode down…and go do SOMETHING that will move you closer to achieving your dreams.
But, PLEASE … don’t waste your time by listening to this, having “good intentions” to “reclaim your higher self” and then do nothing about it.
Move….take COMMITTED action right now! That's all I ask of you. :)

35:51 | Want to join us in The Cold Plunge Truth? (here’s how!) Episode Quotes“My wife asks me every couple of weeks…why do you cold plunge? And, why do you KEEP doing it? I figured I’d answer that question in this episode. :)” - Trevor Turnbull
“The first time I went in my cold plunge I lasted 30-45 seconds and I thought I was going to die.” - Trevor Turnbull
‘I’ve jumped in the cold plunge 89 times in the last 160 days. My longest streak was 12 days in a row. It’s hardwired my brain to lean into doing hard things (even when I don’t want to).” - Trevor Turnbull
“The reason I started cold plunging back in December was because I knew I wanted to push myself. I knew I wanted to commit to growth. I knew it was going to be uncomfortable. I was going to challenge my beliefs and lean into things that would cause me to level up.” - Trevor Turnbull
“My intention when I first started doing cold plunges was to train my brain and body to feel the pain & fear … and do it anyway. I could train myself to do that in all areas of my life.” - Trevor Turnbull

On this episode I’m joined by Sherrie Clark. Sherrie is a best-selling and award-winning author, author coach, ghostwriter, and editor, and award-winning publisher. She’s helped many others' dreams and aspirations become a reality, one that is tangible and that you can hold in your hand.
We discussed the topic of “storytelling” and how it can be very healing and insight for others on their own journey. I’ve yet to write a book, I aspire to write a book…but I haven’t made the time to do it yet. So, I had a lot of questions for Sherrie on how I should approach this from a writing, editing, publishing and promoting perspective. If you’ve ever thought of writing a book you are going to love this episode.

Episode Quotes
“Maybe I should actually share my story with the intent of it touching someone's heart that causes them to shift the way they show up in the world.” - Trevor Turnbull
“If you want to do a book, make sure you also do a podcast. And if you are doing a podcast, you should write a book. You should really do both” - Sherrie Clark
“Don’t write what you know…write what you are passionate about.” - Sherrie Clark
“Start with WHY and then strategy and then get into the tactics. If your driver for writing a book is to wrap a marketing campaign around it to generate sales…that’s when it loses its authenticity. You can tactic your way into burnout very quickly” - Trevor Turnbull

In this episode I talked about why we are moving our family to Costa Rica. Full disclosure, I’ve never been to Costa Rica. I’ve heard good and bad things about the country. I have friends who have lived there. I have friends who currently live there.
Ultimately though, this experience is something that I’ve been visioning for over 15 years. It started when I read a book called “Unlikely Destinations - The Lonely Planet Story” back in 2007. And, that dream is now coming true!
I broke down all the reasons we are planning to move. Some obvious reasons (sun and surf) and some not so obvious reasons (education, politics & taxes). My hope is that this inspires someone to follow their dreams and take the steps TODAY to make it a reality!

12:52 | Why the pandemic speed up the ability to live and work in another country
14:25 | Why my wife and I chose “You & Me” by Dave Matthews as our wedding song
15:23 | Reason #1: The weather (good old Vitamin D!)
17:58 | Reason #2: Access to healthy, fresh food
20:09 | Reason #3: The surfing culture
22:55 | Reason #4: The education opportunities
29:58 | Reason #5: The Canadian politics (we gotta talk about it!)
34:48 | Reason #6: The Canadian taxes (and our medical system)
42:34 | Reason #7 | The Costa Rican culture Episode Quotes
“I want to help others that are ready to take that leap into creating everything they desire…because it’s possible. I don’t care what stage you are at right now…I’m here to amplify the impact of change makers of the world. The first step is YOU believing that you are one of those people.” - Trevor Turnbull

In this episode I’m joined by Christine McAlister. Christine and I unfortunately have a shared experience of losing a child due to stillbirth. I first learned about Christine’s loss via a LinkedIn post where she spoke vulnerably about the day she lost her daughter Maeve in 2015 (and I shared about losing our daughter, Indya, in 2016)
To be clear, this interview was filled with gratitude. Christine has an infectious personality and through her loss, she has found her purpose to live life with passion. And, not surprisingly, she has built a business that’s sole purpose is to empower impact-driven entrepreneurs to share their gifts with the world by leveraging her “Powerhouse Podcast Guesting Method”.

“I thought to myself for years that I need a better story, I need a better story, I need a better story. All of a sudden, I lost a child and thought…shit…not THAT story! It was that moment that I realized that I am the conscious creator of everything in my life.” - Trevor Turnbull
“I was a professor. I’ve been on both sides of the system. I think the school system is backwards. It did not set me up to be a successful, empowered creator of my own life.” - Christine McAlister
“Yes, money buys us homes and cars and helps us take vacations…but, in the last 2 months as I’ve begun to speak out loud my own truth. I’m attracting people to me that’s creating an abundance of wealth. A limitless abundance of wealth for everybody.” - Trevor Turnbull

In this episode I’m joined by Roy Chong. Roy is the founder of Noodlewave (a Citizen of Republix). We have that in common as my agency was also acquired by Republix a few years ago. Roy also happens to be located in the same city (Kelowna) as me and has 2 young boys.
Roy is an extremely talented creative. In fact, before he started Noodlewave, he was a music producer who won a Juno award and had music on the Billboard charts. He’s now taken that creative talent into his work with clients and recently produced a kid’s album (Song Heroes) that combines animated cartoon characters (modeled after his family) with positive, catchy educational songs.

“Think about artists today. If you have talent, you have the ability to get your art out there. You don’t have to convince anyone that it’s good. You just have to put it out into the world and let the world decide whether there is a market for it.” - Trevor Turnbull
“It’s unfortunate that we only take audit of our goals once we’ve had some clarity of milestones achieved. But, in the moment, we are so hard on ourselves. As creators who want to make an impact…when we reach 100,000 people instead of 2M…somehow we don’t recognize the impact we are making.” - Roy Chong
“I had a 7 page resume (more like a portfolio) that screamed don’t hire me. It screamed…I’m not going to stay in this job for more than 6 months cause I’m going to get bored and go start something new.” - Trevor Turnbull
“I wanted to give my kids a template of what’s possible with your imagination if you just put action to your thoughts and creativity. Everyone’s had a million dollar idea in the shower. It’s just that they didn’t do anything with it.” - Roy Chong

In this episode I’m joined by Alex Cargill. Alex is one of the incredible men that I’ve met at theMENtorship.World calls that I attend on Monday night. He always stood out to me partly because of his “manly” voice and presence…but also because of his thoughtful words and willingness to lean in and speak from his heart.
Alex is the Founder of Bear Wolf Integrative. He is committed to supporting other men that have grown up with the story that “real men don’t cry” to shed their masks, embrace their truth and bring light to their dark shadow.

Episode Quotes
“I was going to change our family story. I grew up in an environment where being uncomfortable around money was the place that I was comfortable. It took a lot to get out of that mindset.” - Alex Cargill
“I was this stereotypical man’s man. I had the truck, the money, the wife…and it just went fckin sideways. All I wanted to do was live into my passions. But, I had no idea how to achieve them.”* - Alex Cargill
“When I started getting into things where I was deeper in trouble, I would emotionally disconnect. I would use things to numb myself so that I wouldn’t actually be feeling those problems or pain. The energy got stuck inside me. It stopped me from being able to move forward.” - Alex Cargill
“I still remember my Dad saying - that’s the Turnbull way…you get your stuff through debt financing. The bank helps you pay for it. That stuck with me for a long time. I always thought…is that how it’ll always be? Am I always going to be owing taxes to the government, am I always going to have debts and be behind on payments? I didn’t break thru on that until 4 years ago.” - Trevor Turnbull
“It’s ok to be hurt, it’s ok to be vulnerable, it’s ok to express yourself, it’s ok to let those fuckin tears roll. That’s being a man. Having the emotional intelligence to be able to take care of your emotions insider is how you are stronger for the outside world.” - Alex Cargill Episode Resources*Jordan Peterson on the Joe Rogan Experience

“There’s definitely a mistrust that’s happening with the mainstream media now. People are not stupid. They see what they see, and then when they get the news report saying the opposite…they think - Am I crazy? Am I being gaslit right now?” - Trevor Turnbull

We discussed his journey as an entrepreneur and the “addictive” nature of entrepreneurship.

“We hear about politicians that are saying their constituents are calling in and expressing concerns about the mental health impact of the pandemic and mandates.

In this episode I’m joined by Patrick (PJ) Brady and Danielle Grant. I have been introducing Danielle to all of the amazing people I’ve attracted into my world the past few months and the conversations have been AMAZING!
So amazing in fact that I’ve been thinking…I should share these with the world! Unscripted, honest, vulnerable conversations … with no intention of publishing them for the world to see. Which is what makes them so engaging to listen to / watch.
I guess I’ll call this the “Fly On The Wall” series … because that’s what it is. You are getting a peek into the everyday conversations that I’m having with Conscious Creators that are making a difference in the world through their work and by how they are showing up every day.
We spoke about transitioning into the spiritual world, what’s wrong with therapy, ascended information, how to see more “beauty” in the world, why teachers deserve more support and much, much more!

1:30 | My introduction of Danielle to PJ (and why I wanted to connect them)

38:11 | Trevor explains his purpose of elevating the change makers of the world Episode Quotes*“I've learned though that the people that truly are coming into my life now are coming to me because their own soul is guiding me. It's not even about me anymore. It's about their soul needing to come into my experience to help them ascend, which is a completely different experience than most people are in.” - Danielle Grant
“The feedback I received from people I work with is - you've helped me more than my psychiatrist or my counselor in 10 years, because it's just a completely different experience. I'm not talking to your human, I'm talking to your soul and that's not what any of these people are educated in.” - Danielle Grant
“4.5 years ago Facebook took my Facebook page down and I still don’t have access to it. They told me I couldn’t validate my business model of - Consciousness. Because I was sharing about consciousness and they wanted to censor it.” - Danielle Grant
“My kids talk to me about being afraid all the time. And, it’s such an awesome conversation to have. I never went to my parents with that. So, we start to develop language around it and habits around it. And as they get older and develop courage, it’s a tool in their box.” - PJ Brady

He knew at the age of 5 that he was going to be a millionaire. And while the number didn’t really matter, it was more a belief that he would be consciously wealthy, abundant and limitless.

We dove deep into the topic of mindset and spirituality in this podcast. And, he shared why “finding his purpose, living it and surrendering” were the keys to him finding true happiness and fulfillment.

“I wanted to feel I had control over everything. Where I could strategically and tactically attain my desired result. I dove deep on vision and said….here’s the plan! And, it just never, ever worked out like that. It wasn’t until I surrendered to whatever is that it all started to come together.” - Trevor Turnbull

Episode Quotes
“At no other time in the history of humanity have there been more people helping people to help people. Coaches, healers, lightworkers, artists, visionaries are lifting people up and teaching others how to lift people up.” - Garrison Cohen
“Everybody wants to live a life that’s a good story. Ultimately, language is the basis of reality. If you change the language you change the reality.” - Garrison Cohen
“When I’m working on shaping the story for a client, I just start to see little dots begin to connect themselves. Every time it’s a beautiful process.” - Garrison Cohen
“When we look at ourselves as the ultimate client, and then go do the work and say the truth out loud…including the moments when we are confronted and scared. That’s when people actually connect.” - Trevor Turnbull
“The amount of push back that Joe Rogan gets is not a political divide. It’s an absence of wanting to hear the truth that everyone has inside of them. Where there is no absolute truth, but when someone says their truth out loud, it naturally triggers one side of the other.” - Trevor Turnbull

In this episode I’m joined by Patrick “PJ” Brady. PJ is the founder of Brave Smart Kind, a company that started out as a way for him to teach his 3 daughters English. He also wanted to redefine the word “beautiful” to mean something that people feel on the inside, something to help them develop confidence, something they could control.
We had an amazing conversation about what it means to have “values” and “how do you define them”. We also talked about the education system, our concerns and where we see opportunities. If you are a parent that is concerned about what is happening in the world, but also encouraged by the possibilities we can co-created to educate our kids to be more brave, smart and kind, you’ll love this episode!

Episode Quotes“I try to raise my girls with courage, critical thought and kindness. And, every single time it goes back to some kind of childhood trauma or joy, the lessons that I learned in childhood have been the saving grace for myself and my kids…even though they don’t know it yet.” - PJ Brady
“As a parent looking at how this world is right now on a macro level, it gets everyone questioning everything. I think it’s a blessing. Even some of the really dark, bad things we see happening.” - Trevor Turnbull
“The founder of the company that bought my agency created value statements. It played a big part in why I sold my business. Every time I thought about the pros and cons of selling, I went back to these and it played a big part in my decision.” - Trevor Turnbull
“If one of your values is - put people first. People will start to question the values if all of a sudden you are making decisions that aren’t putting the people first. What happens when you have an issue that puts one person against another person?” - PJ Brady
“When I run for King Of The World, my platform is going to be…fund the shit out of education. Can we please take all this money we are spending and start at the foundational level and stop taking money away from education.” - PJ Brady
“I remember hearing recently that we used to trust our politicians and laugh at our comedians. Now, we trust our comedians and laugh at our politicians. So true :).” - Trevor Turnbull
“Anytime we do values and they introduce me to the marketing team, I know we are in trouble right away.” - PJ Brady

In this episode I’m joined by Shelby Scarbrough. She is the author of Civility Rules!, a TedX speaker and Co-Founder of The Global School of Entrepreneurship. We spoke about what it means to be “civil” in the crazy world we live in…as well as why she felt called to create an MBA program focused on serving the entrepreneurs of the world.
As Shelby says…Civility is a promise that we make to each other. It is a proven path to our joy. Morals are subjective, and everyone views what's "right" and "wrong" differently. Where do you fall in the spectrum of having a solid moral compass? Are you civil when it matters?
Episode Topic6:45 | Shelby speaks about her journey from the White House to who she is today
11:57 | How “civility” has changed over the last 2 years due to COVID, politics & war
15:46 | Why personal responsibility is critical to creating a more civil world
18:57 | The neurobiology of why civility is important and how it can support change
24:17 | Why we need to see the world through the eyes of others without local media bias
29:15 | Why anger is actually an expression of love
33:50 | Why disruption in business can be good and bad (depending on perspective)
36:30 | Why Shelby decided to create The Global School of Entrepreneurship
44:54 | What is the “joy journey” and why we are all seeking it
47:58 | What is ONE thing you are most grateful for (and why)?
49:41 | How can people find out more about Shelby?
Episode Quotes“We’ve come to this place now where it’s almost tragic. We are not able to hear each other anymore because we are so polarized. Especially in North America where if you don’t believe what I believe - then you are evil” - Shelby Scarbrough
“I’m the only one that can change the world around me for the better. And, hopefully that will encourage others to take on the challenge too. I can’t go around telling people how to behave.” - Shelby Scarbrough
“It gets me thinking how powerful - or misconstrued - words can be. I’ve heard people reference the COVID situation as - you are either a Covidian or a Covidiot or something in between.” - Trevor Turnbull
“Maybe I should stop with my internal complaining and my external complaining - to my wife - where she is taking the brunt of my perspective and belief systems and instead train myself to be more empathetic while still having my own opinion.” - Trevor Turnbull
“Ask yourself - what am I feeling - and get in touch with your own core feelings and that will help you parse it a bit and move forward.” - Shelby Scarbrough
“For anyone that doesn’t know, when you scroll through your social feed and slow down for a second…you see more stuff like that…just so everyone knows.” - Trevor Turnbull
“I did the Harvard Owner, President, Manager program which I found really interesting. But it was most valuable to me because of the other people in the class.” - Shelby Scarbrough
“The education that I get to create for my kids includes emotional intelligence, learning about what is coming in the future as well as culture.” - Trevor Turnbull

In this episode I finally speak out loud about something that has been a vision of mine for the past 4 months. It’s something that I was hesitant to share for the feeling that “people” might think I’m crazy. :)
As I’ve been down a personal journey of self discovery, enlightenment and awakening, I’ve attracted people in my life that are also seeking a connection that can’t be explained, it can only be felt.
In that time, I’ve realized that I am not alone in my desire of creating a beautiful world that already exists when we remove the resistance and lean into the reality that everything we desire can easily be created with ease and flow.
The Source Collective is a container that I’ve co-created with my spiritual guide, Danielle Grant. It is without boundaries or structure, it is a reclaiming of higher self, it is a space that connects Conscious Creators that believe in a world of unlimited possibilities.

“I feel like I want to float on my own bubble, my own cloud, and just be the creative that I know that I am. The conscious creator, the person that actually seeks out new ways of seeing things, new ways to communicate things in order to be able to connect with people.” - Trevor Turnbull
“I don't want a thousand friends online. I want a handful of really tight, close knit people in my world that I can spend time with who lift me up.” - Trevor Turnbull
“I had to question…Are my kids going to learn about emotional intelligence in school in Canada? Are they going to learn about what I'm speaking about here today? Which is you are the creator of everything in your life. You are source.” - Trevor Turnbull
“My wife and I do quarterly couple retreats. We discuss…what do we want as individuals? What do we want as a couple? What do we want for our kids? How are we going to manage our finances? What does the future look like for us? Let's visualize that. Let's write it down.” - Trevor Turnbull
“It was only four years ago that I was $200,000 in debt and had just taken out another hundred thousand dollar loan to be able to invest in a mentorship program to just get my head straight.” - Trevor Turnbull

In this episode, I’m joined by Duncan Littlefield. Duncan and I connected about 1 year ago and hit it off right away. I remember resonating with the story he told about his days as a professional golfer, the “identity” he had attached to and how he reinvented himself.
He has since gone on to become a visionary storyteller that has founded numerous companies. I’m constantly amazed how he “balances” all of his ventures while leveling up his leadership skills along the way to enroll “integrators” to make his visions come to life.
We also discussed one of his projects called “Who Stories” where he supports inspiring individuals to tell their authentic story … because “you are enough!”.
Episode Topic5:06 | Duncan explains why he chooses to dive into the deep end and figure out how to swim
8:04 | Duncan talks about his time as a golfer and how he detached from that identity

29:50 | Duncan shares the “vision” of The Littlefield Company as a “creative agency”
36:44 | How does a “visionary” enroll their team to “co-create” the vision?

Episode Quotes“Everything we have going on is a lot. But, it’s all self-inflicted. I created the deep end, I filled it up with water and I was the one that chose to dive from the high dive without any swimming lessons” - Duncan Littlefield
“I actually got pulled over when driving home from my last golf tournament because I was speeding. I was so in my head about where I was, where I was going, what I was doing. I’ll never forget the conversation I had with the police officer. I realized in that moment, I am no longer a professional golfer, and that’s ok.” - Duncan Littlefield
“It was probably 3 years ago I first heard the term - visionary and integrator - and I actually said to my wife…I think I’m a visionary. My first thought was to default to my humble Saskatchewan roots and say - I’m not a visionary, that sounds conceited and like…I don’t want to do the work.” - Trevor Turnbull
“I thought that if I give up all the roles in my business that I’d be giving up control and I won’t be leading anything. It almost felt like another death. Like I was losing a piece of my baby. It was such a backwards way of thinking when trying to grow a business.” - Trevor Turnbull
“I’ve always said that I am the guy that runs from 40-60% of the race or the puzzle. Then I get really bored and say - someone else take this and run with it” - Duncan Littlefield
“How do you do things differently? Why should they listen to you? What connects you to that person on a personal level that makes them trust you?” - Trevor Turnbull Episode Resources MentionedFrame Of Mind (Interview with Duncan Littlefield)Rocket Fuel (Book)

Mike joined me in my home podcast studio for my first “in-person” interview to tell his story (the entire “messy journey) and how he’s reinventing himself through mindfulness, breathwork, meditation and presence.

“Old sales tactics are dead. I don’t answer phone numbers I don’t recognize. Don’t get me wrong, I’m kind when I do end up on cold calls, but what works in sales today is listening and aligning the need with a solution” - Mike Prince

In this episode I’m joined by Danielle Grant and Steve Gordon. Two people in my life that lift me up, give me energy, challenge my beliefs and elevate my highest self.
Danielle is the founder of TheSpiritualRoom.com and is a spiritual guide that has helped me navigate my own personal journey of “spiritual awakening”. Steve is the CEO/Founder of UnstoppableCEO.com and someone that I highly respect for how he shows up in the world and serves leaders that have a message to share.

1:05:33 | How to reframe to the idea of “death” and “evolution” Episode Quotes“I think there is a certain magic in conversation. It’s baked into us as human beings pretty deeply. It’s how we’ve made allies. It’s how we’ve entertained ourselves. It’s core to how we interact with one another.” - Steve Gordon
“The entrepreneurial disease that we are talking about is that they are so focused on the learning things that facilitate their physical reality and do very little to actually understand the internal reality that actually matters more.” - Danielle Grant
“You get to a state of mindfulness & awareness by asking the deeper questions of - why am I in this place? Why do I feel uncomfortable? Why do I feel anxious? In the moment of those questions you are engaging the vibrational field in which those discomforts live within.” - Danielle Grant
“I’ve been in a lot of different masterminds. And, a lot of times you end up around people that are just pretending. I find that I want to be around people who are building real businesses that have longevity. Where they have a mission beyond the money. I am attracted to being around people that are building something that is bigger than themselves.” - Steve Gordon
“I had built up a business that was doing about $700k per year, barely profitable, I had $200k in debt, my relationship with my wife was terrible, the people I had working with me were not really inspired. I was tired, depressed and angry. That’s what I said out loud. And, it opened up the space for everyone else to tell the real story.” - Trevor Turnbull

In this episode, I’m joined by Darryl Sangster of Sangster Franchise Group. Darryl and I have known each other for almost 30 years now and have been through many experiences together both personally and professionally.
I really admire Darryl for how he shows up every day as a leader in his business, his community and for his family. We dove deep into the lessons he’s learned over the years around leadership and learning from the ups and downs that life throws at us.
His multiple decades as a franchise owner and now franchise owner consultant have equipped him to have the tough conversations with people he serves … because at the end of the day, Darryl solves problems. That’s why he’s known as “The Franchise Wolf” :)
Episode Topic5:42 | Darryl talks about embracing hitting home runs and striking out in business and life
7:18 | Trevor and Darryl speak about the emotional rollercoaster of reaching your goals
10:30 | Darryl speaks about “presence” and why it’s more important than just “showing up”
14:10 | Why entrepreneurs struggle to be present with family and how to fix it
16:21 | Darryl reflects on the day he was approved for a $1M loan (and what he learned)
18:18 | Darryl explains his background in franchising and the leadership skills he developed
29:20 | Darryl talks about his late Dad and the lessons he taught him about leading people Episode Quotes“I had an entrepreneurial father. He taught me not to be afraid to fail. Ya it hurts and you feel embarrassed but at the end of the day it’s really cool to hit some home runs. I’ve failed big and I’ve hit some big home runs. And I’m proud of both.” - Darryl Sangster
“When you are so driven, have a value around entrepreneurship and have your identity attached to it…you just keep going and have a really hard time slowing down.” - Trevor Turnbull
“My Dad built up a great reputation in the franchising sector. There’s a lot of people in the Canadian Franchise Association that still bring up his name. He built a reputation as a good, honest, tough business man. He knew how to put on the gloves and go to battle…but always with respect.” - Darryl Sangster
“The hard skills of business are taught through schools, the school of hard knocks and mentorship. But the soft skills of business like empathy & caring are critical. Not trying to make the numbers work on the P&L, but actually looking at the people and considering how you can help them live their best life.” - Trevor Turnbull

In this episode I speak about something close to my heart. I believe this is also a topic that we all need to talk about more. And, simply put, we need to “talk” more. After all, everyone has experienced “trauma” in their lives (in some way, shape or form). And, when we speak our truth out loud so we can be seen and heard … that’s when healing happens.
As Gabor Mate says “Trauma is not what happens to you…it’s what happens inside you”
This episode is building on my last one where I spoke about “what this pandemic is doing to my kids”. I felt compelled to address what many people are feeling in the world right now by connecting it to some personal stories about mental health and suicide. (and how I’ve chosen to reframe both in a way that serves me at this moment of my life.)
My hope is that by starting the discussion, I will open the space for others to speak their truth. Because when we do, magical things happen all around us. I appreciate you for listening to me, and I encourage you to reach out to me if anything I’ve said resonates with you.
Your truth matters! And, remember that healing happens in respectful, empathetic, vulnerable, honest conversation. Find your community. Speak your truth. Lead with love.

In this episode, I decided it’s time to speak my truth. I’m tired. I’m frustrated. I’m done being quiet about this topic for the “fear” that someone might not agree with me or think that I’m just “angry”. Heck, some people might be triggered by my “truth”. But, it’s time to step up and play my part in the change I want to see in this world. As a father. As a husband. As a leader. As a human being.
As I publish this episode, my kids are being robbed of childhood experiences, memories and emotions. It’s not right. It needs to end. There needs to be more smiles, hugs and love in this world. It’s time to end the small business closures, mandates and vaccine passports. We may not agree … and I’m ok with that … I got nothin but love for ya! :) But this is my truth … and it comes from a place of love.
If you resonate with my message, I’d love to hear from you. If you disagree with me, I’d love to hear from you. I choose to live in a world that lives from a place of “gratitude”, “curiosity” & “bravery”... not “fear”, “lockdowns” & “mandates”. Let’s elevate together and change the story.

Episode Quotes“I really am inspired and motivated when I can help people go through the process of stepping into where they really want to be in life. It is true freedom when you are living your best life” - Ryan Peters
“I love Canada, no question about it, but there is also something about being globally minded and recognizing that we put borders in place as control mechanisms, but the reality is it’s one world” - Ryan Peters
“I remember the first time I went on an all-inclusive vacation to Mexico in 2004. I flew down from -30C Saskatchewan weather, it was gorgeous and I drank and ate my face off for 7 days straight. Looking back I think that if I operated now like I did back then I wouldn’t last a month. I’d end up sick and depressed” - Trevor Turnbull
“A lot of the work I do tends to be with CEOs of companies that are looking to grow and scale. I find I have the most impact when working with leaders that have a mindset of constant growth and a commitment to live their best life both personally and professionally” - Ryan Peters
“Alex Honnold is a rock climber with no ropes. It’s absolutely crazy to most of us. But, I see it similarly to being an entrepreneur. When you eat, breath and sleep something so much it might look crazy to others. But, in truth, it’s true knowledge and capability through experience” - Ryan Peters
“I was on the water a few months ago and I met this couple out surfing. I started talking to this guy that has a business that is valued at $4.5B and he was struggling. I gave him some surfing tips and it was amazing to watch his mind open up as I helped him catch a wave” - Ryan Peters

In this episode I’m joined by Danielle Grant. Danielle was the 4th guest on my podcast and my intention from the start was to revisit the conversations with my guests to see how they’ve “evolved” since the first time we spoke.
Danielle was the perfect guest for my first 2nd interview with a guest as the 10 months between our chats were filled with many life, health, business and chakra upgrades :) This conversation flowed as we discussed what it means to have a “spiritual awakening” and why we are seeing an acceleration in how people choose to live in our 3D reality as we ascend into elevated dimensions!

Episode Quotes“I really live by John Lennon’s saying - Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans. Cause we never know what life has in store for us. I also think alot about the butterfly effect. How things that sometimes seem insignificant can have a major repercussion in our lives and in the lives of others” - Laurent Goldstein
“The problem I see is that too many people have ideas, but they lack the drive to make it happen. I live by the saying - some people make things happen, some people watch things happen, some people say…what happened” - Laurent Goldstein

“I love cold calling. Most people hate it. They think it’s inefficient as a method of making sales. I love meeting new people. Everything in life has to do with the attitude that we have towards what happens to us. My attitude is that I’m open to unlimited possibilities” - Laurent Goldstein
“I came from a sales world that existed before social media where my first sales manager threw a yellow pages phone book on my desk and said - best of luck kid. I had to drive around town and look for phone numbers on signs and go to networking events” - Trevor Turnbull

Jeremy shared his REAL entrepreneurial journey that started with an idea that he was hesitant to share with friends and family for fear that they would talk him out of pursuing his dream, to a company that has a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) to create a waste free future.

“Your smallest daily habits ultimately lead to your greatest successes on the other end. It compounds. It’s just that nobody gives you a high five or celebrates the fact that you got up early again” - Trevor Turnbull
“Everything in nature goes in cycles…it goes back to the earth. Whereas plastics are a linear progression. It just keeps building and building and building. Recycling is broken. Less than 10% of plastic waste gets recycled. That’s just ridiculous” - Jeremy Lang

At the time, he was a financial advisor (and had aspired to be a surgeon before then). During the time we spent together I saw him completely transform into the loving man, the artist, the husband and the father he is today.

“You could go a decade doing something and then completely pivot and choose to see it as either - well that was a waste of time - or - look at how this served me on the next step of my life” - Trevor Turnbull

I have known Jen for over 10 years now and she has a very special place in my heart.

“I love what Rumi says - what you are seeking is seeking you. It became so clear to me, but unfortunately I had to get to the point where I hit a brick wall before I realized that.

But the truth is that person is likely really creative and sees the world in a different way that is different from the norm. That’s how I feel now, but it took a while to embrace that. For a long time I was trying to just fit in with what I thought I was supposed to be.” - Trevor Turnbull
“My life is a fuckin mess that could be viewed as a swamp or a Hawaiian paradise depending on who you ask or the time of day. What I’m reflecting on is the different lives I’ve lived.

But if you keep it spread out and separated you can go crazy.” - Dave Muntner
“Listening is certainly a skillset and there is almost a requirement to be a curious person.” - David Muntner

Episode Quotes“All roads can lead to Rome. Our experience of life doesn’t have a lot to do with the destination. It’s less about the journey or the destination...it’s more about the company that you’re with along the way” - Quddus
“Having girls scream my name and put their fingers through my hair was great for my ego, but was it fulfilling? No. It’s like eating a bag of candy. It’s really sweet for a second and then you feel like shit” - Quddus
“When we think about what authenticity is, it’s not being the middle point of Ryan Seacrest and Oprah, it’s being Quddus” - Quddus

“Now when I get on camera, I’m very clear about who my authentic self is and what my intention is. Before the trainings, I was a hologram. I was a projection of who I thought I should be for the world” - Quddus
“Often times we think about our circle of concern (in the world) which is huge. When we bring it down to the circle of influence that we have and can actually make a difference with, then it becomes a less overwhelming conversation” - Quddus

In this episode I’m joined by Jeff Swan, Founder of Outbound SOS, a fellow Kelowna(ite?) and someone that I felt an immediate connection to after being introduced by a mutual friend (Danielle Grant). While Jeff is a master at “selling” and coaching others to improve their sales results, what stands out to me is that he truly leads with value first.
We dug deep into the childhood experiences that have shaped his beliefs and why (in his words) he’s known EXACTLY what he’s wanted to do with this life 3 different times. Which is to say that he’s adapted and evolved as life has thrown curve balls at him over the years.

“It was only 3 years ago I heard the terms visionary and integrator. And when I heard it a lightbulb went off where I said, holy shit I’m a visionary, I gotta stop trying to do all this other stuff” - Trevor Turnbull
“I know that when I apply myself I can do anything. When I want to prospect I can book meetings. When I want to sell I can close deals. But, I recognized that I want to give it my all on a handful of tasks as opposed to doing a lot not that well” - Jeff Swan
“I had almost $1M in my pipeline in Feb 2020. I looked at it and thought this is going to be my best month ever, my best year ever. And then boom...COVID hit. All of my pipeline disappeared” - Jeff Swan
“There’s a lot of resources, programs, courses, live events and Tony Robbins that will teach you how to goalset and manifest your future, and then shit happens. And how you react is ultimately the indicator of how your life ends up going” - Trevor Turnbull
“I just talked to a guy the other day who said - that was my million dollar mistake - and I said - oh you only have one of those? That’s a right of passage if you are an entrepreneur!” - Trevor Turnbull
“We are entrepreneurs. When shit hits the fan, you don’t go look for a job. You figure out innovative ways to solve problems” - Trevor Turnbull

We spoke about the story behind how The MENtorship World community came to be and WHY they created it. The weekly calls that Dai & Nik created came into my life at a time when I wasn’t even sure what I was looking for, and it was exactly what I needed.

“I sometimes joke that I’m a trojan horse, I’m this giant dude so no one ever questions my manliness. But I’m really emotional. So, it creates a space that other men can share whatever is alive and real for them” - Nik Wood

In this episode I pause, reflect and celebrate the experience of recording and listening to the first 9 episodes of The Trevor Turnbull Show.

My hope is that these interviews have been inspiring for you as well. And, one of the key takeaways from reflecting on the first 9 episodes was a realization that podcasting is healing. Deep I know :) I explain what I mean by this in this solo episode. Thank you for listening to date and I look forward to sharing more inspiring stories with you in the weeks, months and years ahead!
