Ep. 162 - Lead With Your Heart (w. Angelo Rubino)

By




If you're a local quebecer, the name Rubino just might ring a bell seeing as it's one of the most recognizable brands in Quebec.
 
With its founder, Vincenzo Rubino, diving into the footwear industry some 35 years ago, RUBINO SHOES has since become a landmark as the best option to get branded shoes at the best value.
 
With a culture rooted in authenticity as well as inclusivity, and with Vincenzo's children having now taken the reins, the company continues to push forward in its mission to be the go-to destination for affordable branded-only footwear by creating a fun, friendly and pressure-free experience for its customers.
 
I want to make one thing clear : this is not a paid advertisement.
 
I was incredibly honored to welcome Mr Angelo Rubino, Vice-President of RUBINO SHOES, as I had become an avid listener of his own podcast aptly named "Un Espresso avec Angelo".
 
Having listened to a couple(...Ok, a LOT!) of episodes,  I discovered an individual who, despite my own preconceived notions of the High-Profile businessman, just happened to be quite the fun guy.
 
Turns out Businesspeople are people too. 
Like the rest of us, they have goals, dreams, values and as you'll learn through this revealing conversation - they also have their fair share of personal struggles. 
 
On this episode, Angelo and I touch on the importance of putting values at the core of your business, giving back to the community, staying humble, owning up to your dark side and a special philanthropic venture near and dear to his heart...
 
You can connect with Angelo via LinkedIn & Instagram
 
Another impactful conversation, which I do hope you'll enjoy.

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

© Alain Mercier (IG: @dmjazzmusic) - All Rights Reserved Blessed. 'Tis indeed the word. When you come out the other end of yet another powerful and thought-provoking exchange - all you do is take a second, breathe it in and realize that certain opportunities, connections, conversations and people are truly a blessing. My guest, Tanguy Exume, was nothing short of an amazing spirit to have on the program. With a genuine philosophy of kindness, resilience, patience and mindfulness, there was no time for questions - only for listening. And sometimes, too often actually, we lose sight of how important this simple act can be. Wearing a variety of hats ranging from - and I'm not making these up - dedicated  Crossfit Athlete ,  to  Poet , to  published author , to  Teacher , to  Salsa Insctructor , to most notably and closest to my heart, loving husband and father...Tanguy is a singular expression of eclectic Awesomeness. Stoicism, acceptance, personal truth, recalibratio

Ep. 178 - Embrace both The Light & The Dark (w. Clara Luce Lafond)

One of the things I really feel a lot of us are really struggling with these past few years is the fact that we do not take the necessary time to really - and I mean REALLY - get to know and appreciate ourselves. ‘Self-Love’ has really become a buzzword as of late and in the grand scheme of things, as is often the case, I realize that a lot of people simply toss it around cause it sounds nice. That’s unfortunate. If people truly realized how much power lies in harnessing the beauties as well as imperfections that make up the sum of their wonderful being, they would probably spend a bit more time catering to that.  I say this wholeheartedly because I am witnessing a lot of people I care about sluggishly dragging their feet in the sand when it comes to their journey simply because they’re being admittedly weighed down by other people’s opinions of them. I call Foul. Fortunately, today’s guest is a person whom I’ve long admired for her deep-rooted sense of self-worth,
