Episode 2: Chasing Your Happiness with guest Al Gord
Jessica has a conversation about chasing your happiness with guest Al Gord. Al Gord is an artist, mental health coach and advocate, and a former educational leader for one of the largest school boards in Ontario. While working as a principal, Al re-discovered his childhood passion for art, as a way to offset some of the stresses in his career. During this time, he began to re-evaluate what was most important to him, not only from a career standpoint, but from an "enjoying life" standpoint.
Recognizing that his health, his happiness, control over his time and helping others, were driving forces for him, Al began a personal journey to find what would make him most fulfilled. In 2019, Al left education to focus on his art. Since that time, Al’s art has been exhibited in shows around the world and and has been featured in various art publications and he has supported numerous charities worldwide with his painting donations. Simultaneously, his desire to continue to help others has led him to become a mental health coach, with a focus on individuals with ADHD. Check out this episode of The Five Foot Strong Podcast.
