Tom McCaffery: Leaving the Safe Path to Figure Out Who You Really Are 1:56:33

3 dni temu1:56:33

1:56:33

Tom has built a life around work ethic, stability, and solving big problems. But in recent years, he started asking harder questions about what he actually wanted—and whether the safe path was still the right one. In this episode, we talk about what it means to walk away from structure, how creativity shows up in business, and why being second-in-command can be a strength. Tom opens up about the cost of doing things you're good at but don’t love, the pull to make art later in life, and the tension between building stability and chasing truth. We also get into imposter syndrome, abstract art in Calgary, and how AI might shape the future of leadership.

I didn’t know Scott before this episode, but his story left a mark. He built Crescent Point from scratch, led for 18 years, and eventually stepped away. We talked about the pressure of being a young CEO, the impact of government policy on Calgary’s energy sector, and the moments where everything could’ve gone sideways. What stood out most was how much of his leadership style came from unlikely places—NHL locker rooms, family dinner tables, and quiet conversations with mentors. He built a culture where trust wasn’t just a word, and he’s still applying those lessons today as an entrepreneur, mentor, and now a published author. This one covers a lot: leadership, letting go, risk, reinvention, writing, and why culture really does matter. Especially when it’s built on friendship.

Most careers follow a straight path. Kathy Macdonald’s didn’t. She started as a fitness instructor, then became a police officer, then a cybercrime expert and keynote speaker.

Kate Ryan’s path wasn’t typical. Growing up in a turbulent home, she learned early how to adapt and figure things out on her own. At 16, she left, chasing something bigger than the life she knew.

We get into what it takes to carve out a creative career from nothing—the struggle, the setbacks, and the relentless work behind the highlight reel. Kate shares what it was like navigating the gig economy, competing in an industry that prioritizes hustle over stability, and learning to balance passion with sustainability.
