I Want 2 Know

I Want 2 Know

By Chad Ferguson

I Want 2 Know Podcast is about reviving the art of conversation and being interested in other people, it’s really humbling to hear an expert talk about their work or learning what interests them. People are a valuable resource and Dale Carnegie, who famously wrote “How To Win Friends and Influence People” knew the value in being genuinely interested in people and attributed it to his success. My wife loves the quote from that book “you can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you”

Episode 74 - Tina Petrow Airdrie Councillor

Tina Petrow is a passionate woman with a heart for her community. She is new to politics and feels like she has been drinking her political education through a fire hose. We talked about Airdrie's goal of being a blue zone. The city wants to encourage it people to live long and healthy lives.  We discussed recycling, LGBTQ and parenting. I believe she exposed some of my ignorance on these matters and help enlighten me. Tina changed my views on city politicians. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed talking to her.

Episode 70- Geoff Freeborn- University of Calgary Baseball coach

I am so happy that I am shameless at inviting people on the podcast. I got to meet the very cool, the very driven, the very fun, Geoff Freeborn. I had a blast hear about his road to professional baseball pitcher for the Vipers. We discussed life, coaching , training, family and a little neurology.  I feel like I ended the podcast way to early. After we shut the mics off we ended up talking for another hour about some more cool things. We may have to relive that, next time he comes on.

I am starting to realize how much I love creative people. Jasen Fredrickson is a hilarious stand up comic that has been touring for 20 years.

I highly suggest you check out his show and I can not wait to see his new hour... Coming soon.

Davis is very motivated to bring awareness to the benefits that Mushroom, LSD,MDMA and DMT will have in the healing of humanity. Even though this is only the second time I have had a conversation with David I feel like he is very open about his journey and that helps me be more open. David is heading up a very cool conference coming to Calgary in May or 2020, Buy your tickets now at www.catalystcalgary.com.

Episode56- Christine Gold 24k Healing

I Want 2 Know about Psychics, Mediums and Spiritual healing. After asking the great and mighty internet, I got a message from Christine Gold, 24K Healing. I was very skeptical about what and who Mediums were as people. I had the perception that Psychics were scammers that only wanted to take money from people that are hurting or lost. I did not get that feeling with Christine. I believe she is a very caring and intuitive person that wants to help people thought difficult times. She describes how she honed her skills with her mentor. We talked about how everyone has the ability to be more intuitive if they had the desire and practiced. She did not come across as mystical or all knowing. She came across as a person that is trying to better the world the way she knows how. We also discussed social standards for men and women, ancestry, ego and a few other topics. I definitely want to know more about her as she grows in her craft. I look forward to the next time I get to sit down with her.

I Want 2 Know more artists. Paul Nye is a local artist that does amazing air brush work. The first time I had the pleasure of see Paul's art is fell in love with it. I drew me in instantly. I have had a few of his art pieces in my home for a couple weeks now and I find myself caught up in the details of the art. He is now adding tattooing to his tool belt.
This is actually the second podcast I have done with Paul but the first had some technical issues and we agreed that we didn't wan to put it out. So we got back in the studio and recorded another one right away. I think we covered almost all topics that two guys can in one two hour sitting. Give this one a listen.... you wont be disappointed!!

Episode 51- Bob Wilke- I Got Mind

I Want 2 Know more about and inspirational man, Bob Wilke. I got to hear Bob speak at a luncheon put on by the Airdrie  Chamber of Commerce. I was very impressed with what he had to say and how he presented himself. So much so, that I was relentless in my pursuit to have him on the podcast.

Bob played hockey for most of his life. He ended up playing in the NHL for the Philadelphia Flyers and the Detroit Red Wings. He had some hard times in the NHL, but most of his hardships stemmed from being involved in a horrific bus crash when he was 17 years old. He saw some of his team mates die that day and that can damage a young man. It took Bob nearly 27 years to get himself straightened out. Hear how he did it, and how he is helping other young athletes.

Episode 50- Chad Ferguson- Admitting my mistakes

I have had a few mistakes this year. I did this podcast by myself. It has been one of my fears in this last year. My fear was that I would fail at my goals. My podcast goal was to do 52 episodes with new guest. I had a goal that each podcast would be a minimum on one hour and a max of two hours. Well I failed, but I am not quitting. Due to technical difficulties I am not uploading the podcast I recorded last week. So I had to do this one my self. Listen to why this happened, what I got coming up for new guests and what I am doing in my personal life. Enjoy!!!
