One of the responsibilities I put on myself is to look for opportunities where I can use my gifts and positions of influence to help other people and magnify their stories. However, while writing this editorial, I found that it only felt right to speak to something close to my heart. I have been very fortunate to learn tools from […]
I’m a diehard Maple Leafs fan. There isn’t any team I would rather support. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with me. My best friend, for example, is a Montreal Canadiens fan. Now, if you know anything about hockey, you probably know that the Leafs-Habs rivalry is fierce; it’s rooted in years of competition. When those two teams are on the ice, […]
