Alex Armstrong // Skier with a Philanthropic Heart
In this episode, I sit down with Alex Armstrong, a pro skier based in Squamish, BC. We recorded this about ten months ago, but her energy and insights are still just as impactful. Originally from Ontario, Alex moved to Alberta for the Rockies before making her way to the coast. She's a powerhouse—driven, self-aware, and pushing the sport forward. Plus, her philanthropic spirit really stands out. I’m excited to share this conversation and can’t wait to see where she’s headed next. Hope you’re as inspired as I am!

Ian MacKay | Humanitarian | Critical Care Nurse
With dozens of overseas deployments in the wake of natural disasters, wars, and both underserviced and politically charged areas of the world. One of the biggest takeaways from this interview comes from looking at people at a human or individual level, beyond their conditioning or current events. Empathy and compassion are two things we should embrace locally and globally. I gained a lot of perspective about life and death beyond my very privileged existence, and I love how curious Ian is about people and learning.

I don’t even know how to preface Rory Bushfield as he is one of a kind. When I first met him he was a professional skier that cooked hot dogs outside of the Griz, and then he joined the circus and starred in a reality tv show and found time to start a foundation to preserve the spirit of his late wife and my friend, Sarah Burke. He is gracious and makes every second count and I think that is the only gift that comes from such intense loss.
