Arguably the greatest scientific mind who ever lived, Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” And, iconic musician, David Bowie, once linked his drive to write songs to his “malevolent curiosity.” This inquisitive quality seems to not only spark new ideas and insights but also inspire creativity and growth. But what is curiosity? Why is it central to the human experience? And, why do we sometimes fear it and even block it? These are some of the questions I explore with Lauren Walker, co-author of "The Curiosity Reset - Embrace the Child Within and Discover Your True Path." In this illuminating conversation, Lauren gives us a framework for mapping our own curiosity.

When it comes to genetics, some might say that Andy Campbell drew the short end of the stick. Born predisposed to cancer-causing mutations to the BRCA1 gene, Andy has seen his mother and all three of his aunts die of breast cancer, and in 2018, he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. As if life wasn’t challenging enough, a few years into his chemo treatment Andy’s youngest son tragically ended his life. Despite his heartbreak, Andy’s faith in God has helped him persevere with his wife and children by his side. Andy has also authored a book called, "Overcoming Life’s Toughest Setbacks - 15 Core Beliefs to Transform Challenge into Opportunities." In this heart-rending and inspirational interview, Andy bravely talks about the impact of losing his son to suicide, shares his personal story through cancer, and he explains how he was able to see the world in colour again.

Set in the spring of 1973, "Lost Village" is a riveting story of what happens when a displaced Canadian town, robbed of its identity, is confronted with its fakeness and deadly secrets. It’s about the inhabitants who struggle to be themselves and tell the truth, and those who are determined to ruin and silence them - including blackmail and murder. Inspired by true events of his upbringing in rural Ontario, Michael Saver reimagines the past in his debut murder mystery novel about three teenaged boys who are on a journey of discovering their uniqueness through music and self-exploration, while trying to outsmart a vicious killer. In this exclusive interview, Michael tells us why sexual identity is a central theme in his groundbreaking story of fiction.
