My advice to anyone is this. If you can, follow your passion. Follow it to where it brings you intellectual and emotional rewards, a sense of purpose and place, and in this volatile world, always have a Plan B. This is why I am so excited to introduce my two guests this week.

Elysia Racanelli is a family doctor by day and avant-garde singer by night, whose haunting voice and commanding stage presence will stop you in your tracks.

Jonathan Roy is the son of Patrick Roy, one of the greatest goaltenders of all time. Jonathan worked hard to follow in his father's 'skates', but when the NHL was beyond his skill set, he chose to pursue music. I am glad he did, as I have fallen in love with his music.

In these live interviews, both share the deeper reasons behind their pivots and the lessons they are learning along the way. Their stories offer a powerful reminder that finding your path in life is rarely linear and often requires the courage to step away from expectation to follow your heart.

These conversations took place during the staging of Odience 360 by Montreal-based Summit Tech. This is the most immersive stage and retail technology I have ever witnessed. I have provided a link below:
