I interview these two as a team, because they work together really well as a team. They are truly role models that I look up to in many ways.

I asked them to give introductions of themselves on the show for anyone outside of Edmonton who may not know who they are. For anyone who knows ME really well, I consider them family - just like my blood family who I am extremely close with. So if you like me, you'll love them.

We talk about this past year, how dogs can change your life, and the importance of understanding the world and everyone who shares it on a deeper more meaningful level.

When you learn how to support those around you who've lived different experiences than you, it changes your life forever. You learn that every decision you make matters. Every pivot of a person with privilege of any description, will impact someone else's life. Finding ways to be conscious of this reality enables us to find greater strength together.

Regardless of business or professional goals, it is deeply impactful to understand where you direct your energy and how you can move forward in times of uncertainty. It is important to reflect, and plan, and sometimes find places of catharsis. Most often these times of clarity come from times of discomfort or pain.

It's important to be able to see that you are not defined by being in fitness or being a business owner. You are defined by what it is in your life that inspires you to do what you do.

Why are you on this planet and what kind of legacy do you want to have?

For the Shariffs, it is the ability to lead by example in daily decisions and raise their family to have an immense amount of self belief in whatever direction their heart takes them.

If you are able to believe in your 10 year plan, or your 5 year plan, that is what will get you there. That level of self belief requires support, and a sustainable two-way energy exchange which comes with the endless experiences that make us who we are.
