Lessons From The Original Apprentice

You do remember the Apprentice, right? It’s hard to believe that it was seven years ago season one aired on NBC. I remember being there with Traci during the filming of season three and walking by the Trump tower – thinking about the show and what it meant to entrepreneurs all over.

As they say – time flies – It seems like yesterday I remember Donald Trump choosing Bill Rancic, an internet entrepreneur from Chicago, to be his right hand man for a year.

Canadian Olympic Gold

The 2010 Olympics exceeded everyone’s expectations, including mine. It was an event for the ages and I’m so glad to have been a small part of it. Our athletes all did a killer job. It was one of the best Canadian hosted events I can think of – a thousand times better than Expo ‘86!

Having been to many weddings and receptions, I must admit that this was probably the most beautiful and romantic wedding I can recall having been to.

Most of the guest list had flown in from western Europe – predominantly Holland, the UK and the Netherlands, since the bride [...]

High Intensity Weight Training with Jim Flanagan

On my last trip to Florida, I made a new friend who I’ll never forget. Meet Jim Flanagan. Meet BIG Jim Flanagan.
Here’s how the friendship started, I was dining at a steak house restaurant in Orlando that had been recommended to me by the concierge at the Peabody Hotel. The restaurant was called Del Frisco’s and it is a well known chain of steak restaurants on the East Coast of the USA.

While dining there, a very large, very tall [...]
