I enjoy writing... especially when I have a passion for the topic. Here’s a collection of recent and past musings, reflections, and white papers.
If you spend any time around bikes in Canada, you’ve probably heard the name Rob Britton.Calling Rob strong on a bike is an understatement.After a long and successful career racing professionally for teams like Rally Cycling, the Canadian-born rider built a reputation as one of the toughest competitors in the peloton. He won the overall title at the Tour of Utah twice, claimed stage wins across North America and Europe, and earned the respect of teammates as the kind of rider willing to take the wind and suffer for the good of the team: the mark of a true “domestique”.
A few weeks ago I was invited by Jeff Tetz to speak at BEx: the Business Execution Summit hosted by the team at Results in Kananaskis. For more than a decade they’ve been bringing together business leaders for a few days of strategy, learning, and connection in the mountains. There’s something about stepping away from the office, the city, and the usual routines that changes the quality of conversations.
John Coleman is not your average performance coach. A flow-state PhD and advisor to the elite athletes of Arc’teryx, he’s also an accomplished backcountry skier, surfer, and father. He’s spent decades studying the edges of human potential, and his client roster includes some of the world’s most high-performing—and high-risk—athletes. He’s friends with creative legends like Chris Benchetler and embodies a rare blend of science, soul, and mountain grit.
As a family the Ramlall’s have overcome, navigated and grown from significant obstacles. When Amit was born, he had severe health challenges; the doctors were uncertain if he would survive. In advance of a life-threatening surgery, his parents, Pratima and Kumar decided to name their son: “Amit” meaning Infinite in Sanskrit, and “Chintan” meaning Thinking.
From an ancestral perspective, I’ve technically lived in Alberta since 1908, when my Great Grandfather’s horse died in Edmonton (pop.9350) en route to Vancouver from Halifax. Shortly after his arrival and only three years before the incorporation of his first business, Alberta’s reliance on oil began its long and tumultuous, boom-bust, one-hundred and twenty-five-year history.
