A soulful conversation in Nova Scotia

I first met my friend Nancy Regan over three decades ago when I was wheeling through Bedford, Nova Scotia on the home stretch of my Man in Motion World Tour. When I was last in Halifax, I had the privilege to sit down and have a heartfelt conversation with Nancy for her new podcast, Soul Booth.

Many of you who may not know, but fishing is a part of my DNA. My father and grandfather were great outdoorsman and fishing formed part of my earliest memories. On this episode, I talk about my first fishing trip with my dad when I was three, and how it was a lesson in trust.

I also share numerous stories along my life’s journey, including the role that sport has played in my life and how role models like Terry Fox have made an incredible impact. I tell Nancy why I consider the first day of my Man In Motion World Tour the greatest success of the entire Tour. I also talk about love and grief and what an incredible honour it's been to be a father and grandfather.

Life is much more than a destination of accomplishments and milestones, it's truly a journey. I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to reconnect with Nancy and I hope you’ll tune in and have a listen!
