    For five years in my twenties I was living a lie. From the outside looking in I had everything. The problem was my job was killing me. The stress was relentless, I was an absent father, a poor husband, and was abusing my body with too much alcohol and bad food choices.  In this episode of I talk about my thought process at the time, especially why I chose to stay in the job for so long. I also share with you lessons learned through time and from my interviews and discussions with so many others that have been in similar situations.

  • Ep 131 How To Get The Most Out Of Your College Experience | Sehmat Suri

    24/06/2019 Duração: 43min

    Sehmat Suri has spoken on stages in Dubai, London (U.K.), Halifax, Toronto, and Vancouver. She helped launch and scale Square Roots, an innovative social enterprise that is taking on the challenge of food waste and food insecurity. She took on the challenge of finding a partner to turn carrots destined for the landfill into a craft beer and even a beer for dogs. People laughed. The beer sold out in record time. You can also find Sehmat working part-time as a model where she combines her passion for fashion with her very long and beautiful hair (her instagram handle is semiwiththegoodhair so I guess I can get away with that comment). What makes this even more impressive is Sehamt achieved all this while completing a Double Major in Marketing and Psychology at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax. She even managed to survive a co-op work term working remotely for me. Yes folks, Sehamt was employee number one for Screw the Naysayers. Sehmat’s journey to Canada is inspiring.

  • Why I Quit My 6-Figure Job

    In this Tim Talks episode I get reflect back on my decisions to walk away from one of the highest paying sales jobs in Canada.

  • Ep 129 What To Do When Your Dream Job Isn’t | Anna Sabino

    17/06/2019 Duração: 47min

    Anna Sabino is a personal branding/business building strategist, a career coach, an author, and host of Anna Talks, a daily video show. Those of us that know Anna on LinkedIn have grown accustomed to seeing her smiling face on video each and every day. When I noticed that Anna Talks was coming up on its one year anniversary, I thought it would be cool to honour her work on Screw the Naysayers. That’s the cool thing about being a podcast host. I get to do things like that. Anna’s story is fascinating on so many levels. Born in Poland, Anna set her sights on the Big Apple with dreams of working on Wall Street. Her lofty goal attracted many naysayers, but that didn’t phase Anna. Her first stop was France where she went to University, and then she made the leap across the pond. Anna didn’t know any better and started applying for jobs online. Much to her surprise her approach worked. Then came the big let down. Her dream life didn’t live up to her big expectations. A restlessness started to stir in Anna, in m

  • Why New Entrepreneurs Waste So Much Money

    14/06/2019 Duração: 09min

    In this episode of Tim Talks I bring attention to one of the most common mistakes new business owners make. They find the courage to start their own business, but then in an effort to avoid further risk, refuse to pay for advice. The truth is most small businesses will spend a minimum of $50-$75k in the first 2-3 years. Most of this money is spent on tactical short term activities, often with poor results. There is an alternative.

    Tabitha Cavanagh a.k.a. Tab The Recruiter is a Sales & Marketing recruiter, public speaker, a colon cancer survivor and a kickass mom. Tabitha is determined to live life on her terms and to set the best possible example she can for her daughter. At age 31 Tabitha was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer. She had only been married for 4 months and her daughter was not even two years old. It’s the kind of news that can bring a lot of people to their knees. Not Tabitha. I could just feel the fierceness in her voice when she explained that there was no way anyone was going to take her away from her family. In this conversation we went deep into the impact cancer had on her mindset. I’ll give you a hint. Tabitha makes it clear that cancer changes what we see as a problem. She also makes it clear that her focus is on enjoying every minute that she has, and not stressing over getting more time. As a parent Tabitha knows that the best way she can teach her daughter is to live be example. You won’t find a disc

It was a battle to survive but survive he did. Andrew ultimately lost part of his right leg and part of his left lung. His life changed at the age of 15 when he joined the local swim team. To use Andrew’s words, that’s when he found his happy place. That’s not to say that it was easy. In this raw and open conversation Andrew speaks about the many challenges he’s faced, including being afraid to show his body to the world and being disqualified at the paralympics. While still competitively swimming, Andrew began his business career in sales. He worked in sales for one of Canada’s highest profile sports team, never once missing his sales goal over a 13+ year stay. With that level of success Andrew thought he was insulated. He wasn’t. With a change at the top of management came a decision to eliminate Andrew’s department. At the time of th

It’s fair to say that Sean has a lot on the go. This episode is going to resonate with Veterans, members of the military, as well as their family and friends. When Sean speaks you can feel his intensity and I believe his underlying anger. He has a strong emotional connection with his message, which is based upon his own experiences and friendships. Sean makes no attempt to “sanitize” his story. He openly speaks about his love hate relationship with the military, the impact that alcohol had on him, and how he used to put people down to build himself up. He also talks about a specific Christmas Eve when he put a gun in his mouth and came ever so close to ending his life. He shares how his becoming a drill instructor changed his life, and chilled me when he provided statistics about the average life expectancy of a veteran that retires after

  • The Hypocrisy Crisis In Parenting

    31/05/2019 Duração: 10min

    History will not be kind to the baby boomer generation, especially those that live in developed economies. Under our watch the world’s population has done irreparable damage to planet earth, we’ve seen a massive consolidation of wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer people, and politics has become a blood sport fueled by hatred and self-interest. Everywhere you look you can find evidence of boomers saying one thing and doing another. This is especially true when it comes to parenting. Sadly my generation has passed this legacy on to their children and grandchildren. In my opinion this is our biggest failure. In this episode of Tim Talks I present to you my mock Academy Award Categories for Hypocritical Parents.
