The Watermelon Sandwich

Had the chance to sit down with Anada Fitsimmons on The Watermelon Sandwich Podcast. Anada took us down the world of soil health and how detrimental it is to take care of our earth and especially our soils. She spoke about he importance of modern farming and how we need to bring back some old practices that where soil was such an important factor in the health of the food that we consume everyday. Modern Farming has destroyed our soils, foods and products that we by from our grocery stores everyday. 

Ananda has been an advocate for our food in most of her life and now is the President of Regenerative Canada, Founder of a biotech company that created an eco friendly product to help in the growing process of our foods and is also an author of her first published book 'Hydrate the Earth'. 

It was a pleasure and very informative podcast about the soils role in our world today. 

Nando Sirianni decided to turn his passion for fitness and fashion into an opportunity to influence and motivate people that want to change their lives through taking care of themselves inside and out.

Giovanni Bartolomeo has a unique story and is on this continuous journey towards living. It began his early years, going down a path of certainty towards the social norms of success. Achieving a high level status in education, attending one of North America's top business schools and living the life of what society encourages as a climbing road. As a young entrepreneur, he realized something was missing. There was a whole in his soul and then it all began. 

Going to the jungles of Brazil to drink a liquid to bring your spiritual connection to another level, or walking in the mountains with Wim Hof himself, Gio as some call him was destined for something more. He gave up his path towards financial success and allowed himself to surrender to what the universe had destined for him. 

Have a seat and listen to this inspirational journey of Gio and his discovery of breathwork and his realization that we all must surrender to life's purpose. 

Such a pleasure to sit down with my good friend Liana Cancian. Liana brings so much enlighten and an eye opening conversation about life as a mother, dealing with setbacks and at the same time keeping the mindset of pushing forward.

She gives great input about marriage, relationships, family and pushing forward for yourself and family.

She believes in the importance of being a mentor for future generations as a women, entrepreneur and continuing to be an advocate for parents with children with special needs.

Had the pleasure of sitting down with Rose Candido owner of Slice of Life Foods life the other day. We had such an amazing conversation about business, family and life.

A former director of sales for Bell Canada, decided to leave her career and try out the baking industry with her husband Mauro Candido who was a baker through the family business.

After years of success in the traditional baking business and suppling stores around the GTA her husband Mauro began to show some signs of being allergic to gluten. At this moment Mauro decided to take things into his hands and worked day in and day out in creating this bread like no other in the business. A gluten free bread with simple and minimal ingredients. And now today Slice of Life Foods is becoming one of Canada’s best keep secrets for healthy bread.

Sit down and take some time to listen to this inspiring story of Rose and her journey as a mother, entrepreneur and her recent challenge of  the loss of her husband. Today her kids and herself decided to keep her late husbands legacy alive in continuing the family business. Support this amazing business the next time you are in a store or order online.

If there is one thing that stuck out the most in this interview it is that life is short and we need to let go and move on. Thanks again Rose for
