What defines a Champion? Medals? Trophies? The Scoreboard? The endless training and practice sessions? The high-level expectations we put on ourselves? The ferocious dedication to our craft bred from a very early age through our family legacy? The clear sense of direction we've sharpened over the years? ...or is it something else? I don't have the answers. But fortunately, through a journey marked by ambition, resilience, discipline and personal struggles, my next guest, Neyssa Etienne, is firmly suited to provide a few. Having accomplished so much as trailblazer for Women's Tennis in her native Haiti, as a local Champion, as well as on the International circuit, all the way the Sydney Olympics, a tip of the hat is certainly due. One could also say that old habits are hard to kill, as we were graced with Neyssa's dominating presence on the court as the only female player at the recent 2020 Edition of the Profin Open Tennis Championship that took plac...

What do avocados, Distributed Ledger Technology and purposeful dedication have in common? I struggled a lot in my last years of High School as well as throughout College. What resulted was that even though I remain a strong advocate for Academia, for the longest time, I carried a strong sense of personal underachievement compared to individuals who maximized their academic potential, opportunities and endeavours in order to accomplish some pretty incredible things. This is definitely something that caught my eye when I came across an interview where my next guest's  level of knowledge, expertise and overall sense of purpose was so powerfully and eloquently shared that it left me floored. Originally from Haiti, Genevieve Leveille , is the principal founder and CEO of AgriLedger , a blockchain solution which has been used to support and allow Haitian fruit farmers, customers, and families to reap the benefits of fairer prices and improved food security. An innovat...

Every time I hit 'Publish' and an episode gets released into The Universe, I often take pause - and realize that it's still there. I'm talking about that wonderful sense of excitement, gratitude, and respect that has always characterized every one of these amazing interviews. It's a humbling thing to realize that, behind the achievements, the celebrity, the notoriety, the expertise, if one is willing to humble yourself and listen, you have the opportunity to get to know an incredible human being. Today's guest is no different. I had been a big fan of my next guest for a really long time as I greatly admired this warrior's journey. As a back-to-back CrossFit Games World Cup Champion(2012, 2013) Michael Cazayoux is no stranger to the importance of one's mindset when overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. As a Coach, being well-accustomed to the unique process of self-examination, he specializes in helping clients “get out...
