I've never shied away from admitting what I don't know or doesn't spark my interest. Whether it be cars, real estate, knitting...I understand that this variety of interests, despite our differences and/or disagreements, is what makes us so incredibly colourful as a species. 

 For me, Fashion has also been right up there with the rest. Like Soccer. I can watch it, respectfully appreciate it - but I just don't get it.

 Which is why my next guest, Montreal-based Men's Fashion Stylist, StyledByPaul (or just Paul, for short) was such a treat as she definitely embodies the best of both worlds. Her infectious passion (POW-HA!) definitely resonates with me and her expertise is something I wanted to tap into as I could admittedly learn a thing or two.

 Paul is amazing and talented individual whose time and insight I'm incredibly grateful for.  For me, it's very important to remain both humble and curious. This is because one can always learn from a handshake, a glance, a short story, a quick article - or a decidedly awesome exchange with individuals who passion and drive are remarkably tangible.

 You can connect with Paul via her Instagram feed, Facebook page, Twitter - or simply drop her an email at: styledbypaul@gmail.com 

 Various articles covering Paul's awesome work and credits include...

 I do hope you enjoy this exchange as we certainly enjoyed bringing it to you.

Ep. 106 - Just Getting Started (Year-End Special) (w. Olivier Day ft. guest host: Brad Bodnarchuk)

© Vivardy Boursiquot (https://www.vivardyboursiquot.com/) - All Rights Reserved As we near the end of the year, with the Holiday Season in full swing, it only felt appropriate to close out this incredible and energizing year with a bit of reflection and necessary gratitude. Thing is, and I've admitted this on and off this podcast, I'm somewhat of a workaholic. Whether that's a gift or a curse depends on your perspective. But, as I took a step back and intentionally realized how far this podcast has come in such a short time, it certainly makes the hard work, sacrifices and commitment feel noteworthy. You spend so much time with your head down, focused and undeterred, you often neglect to fully appreciate all that you've achieved. For this Year-End episode, the last of 2019, I wanted to changes things up a bit, in the spirit of trying something new. Following a few encouraging messages ...

Ep. 014 - Feelings Inside Not Expressed (*Explicit*)

This one hits in some pretty uncomfortable places. It's been a long time coming since I said I'd do some sort of mental health/stress-anxiety-depression type of episode but I was never too sure how to frame it or how to get myself out of the bashfulness of sharing my personal struggle. Admission of full honesty right now as I don't really know how to preface this one other than to warn you that a few curse words have made their way into it. Aside from that, I found it truly mattered to keep the conversation going in regards to pulling as much of the veil off the often-overlooked emotional and psychological struggles that we go through on a regular basis, especially men. A rather choppy and chaotic reflection on myself but a satisfied look on my face as it reminds me that, even though I still have work to do, I'm doing a lot better than I used to. And that's Awesome.

Ep. 181 - Live Your Best Life For You (w. Dionne Nicholls)

A third appearance on the show is certainly something to acknowledge and celebrate. When certain guests have been such a profound source of support and collaboration, you let them know.  It's a true honour to welcome back today's guest on the program.  Dionne Nicholls is a professional coach trained through Accomplishment Coaching. From being estranged from her father for years as he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, to giving birth to a son with a rare heart condition, to feeling stuck in a 20-year career and having her 17-year relationship end in betrayal, Dionne knows very well that she does not look like what she's been through. And, that's the point. After an extensive journey of self-reflection and seeking the meaning of why she was put on this planet starting in 2014, she came to the realization that the gift she had to bring to the party of life was JOY. Following a successful 20-year career in the fashion industry, co-founding...
