Episode 14 - Michael Cameron

As you will soon catch on, we were running for this whole podcast. Literally, running. Michael is a pretty cool guy who is up to some amazing things. He is successful in his business but life has shown him the true pursuit of happiness and he spends his days working on his commitment to #makebeautifulshithappen . You're going to learn more about his story, but there's a lot that we didn't get to talk about so make sure that you check out www.mikecameron.caIn addition, we didn't get a chance to talk about this but for two years in a row now, Mike has organized an Ignore No More Run. It's worth looking up. This past year it was in support of the SAIF society. We learned today that if you want the podcast to be shorter than an hour, you just have to make it a running podcast. As always, this podcast is available through the link in my bio or by searching The Lifestyle Chase on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, or Google Play. Let me know what you think! Get full access to Insight by Chris Liddle at chrisliddle.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 13 - Farha and Naheed Shariff

In memory of Faisel and Loma and the many others we lose to cancer, please reflect on how you will carry on the legacy of your loved one. https://www.albertacancer.ca/donatehttp://www.kidswithcancer.ca/how-can-you-help/donate/Farha and Naheed have seen me completely reinvent myself over the years and chase my goals relentlessly. They are huge supporters in my life and so it was really fun to spend some time with them and the kids (AND FUSCHIA!!) for this podcast. Farha is a high performing individual with her Doctorate in Education. When she isn't educating at the University of Alberta, she unwinds and gains clarity through instructing and coaching spin and boxing at Cyclebar and Champs boxing studio. Naheed has done very well for himself as a businessman and accountant. With a balanced approach geared towards making the people around him perform at their best, he has found a lot of success in creating strong teams and being innovative as often as possible.We talk about everything from fitness to family to the tough things that life throws at us, the tough decisions and the fact that Naheed has more shoes than Farha. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy this one!Original Picture Credit: Hannah Hamilton Get full access to Insight by Chris Liddle at chrisliddle.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 12 - Kristina Botelho

Have you ever took a big jump in your life simply based on a strong self belief? A gut feeling?I really enjoyed getting to chat with Kristina because she has a strong sense of self belief which has been a very empowering characteristic for her. She is also really good at being herself which is extremely important. She balances her business, her family, and maintains an active and healthy lifestyle all while always striving to be better. We talk about the dragon that burnt up the yellow brick road, and we talk about the new Netflix series called "Hey It's Me KB" where they don't ever show KB until the last episode of the 9th season (kind of like a new How I Met Your Mother). I kid - I kid. Let's face it though, we'd all watch the show, I mean you're listening to this podcast because of the KB and Co Instagram account. Let's be honest! hahaI think you knew this was going to be a good episode, so I hope you are already giving it a listen. Let us know what you think!  Get full access to Insight by Chris Liddle at chrisliddle.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 11 - Chris Liddle Hosted by Kelsey Jones

We turned the table on this one. Kelsey interviews me and asks some of the questions about me that not everyone knows the answers to. We talk about all of the topics I generally ask my guests, and go down the rabbit hole of where my fitness journey-turned career began. I hope you enjoy this one. Send me a message and let me know what you think.  Get full access to Insight by Chris Liddle at chrisliddle.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 10 - Chelsea Livingstone on Big Moments, Harsh Critics, and Being Positive

Chelsea, more commonly known as "@its.healthy.chelsea" on Instagram has inspired many through her ability to be extremely vulnerable and just plain honest. However like all great things in life, it comes at a cost. When you are putting your big moments on a public forum, you will be guaranteed to be faced with some trolls, jealousy, backlash, etc. Chelsea has a passion for seeing others be happy through a balanced lifestyle. She currently is one of the instructors at Cyclebar in Edmonton, but has tried almost every possible fitness class there is. This episode will bring light to what it means to be resilient, and what it looks like to be okay with not being okay. We talk about a vision to make an active lifestyle as within reach as possible for as many people as possible and we talk about Pizza and Tacos because well, duh... You should check out her class at Cyclebar, it's full of energy and enthusiasm and is guaranteed to lift your spirits or get you on a higher wavelength.This was a great episode and if you take anything away from it, just be your damn self.  Get full access to Insight by Chris Liddle at chrisliddle.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 9 - Dao Haddad

Dao is someone who can light a fire under your ass without even trying. The best part is it comes natural to her. It's all about being accountable to the fact that you have a potential that you are in control of. It is up to you to be the change you want to see. Sometimes life throws us into a situation where we have to grit our teeth and just move forward. If every day is a step forward then we are unstoppable. Dao is definitely someone who I consider to be unstoppable and absolutely someone who is creating the change that she wants to see in the world. She has a really good perspective on life and an attitude that enables her to be an enabler of others. You should listen to this one. You should also go to her boxing class.  Get full access to Insight by Chris Liddle at chrisliddle.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 8 - Shane Fennessey

The very first podcast I got to be a part of was Shane Fennessey's City of Champions. He helped me launch mine and has been a big supporter in all of my ventures this past year.Shane is one of my favourite people because what you see is what you get. Put him in any room with a variety of people whether they are well known celebrities or someone you have never heard of. Place him in any sitation, whether it's his first time trying it or it's something he is good at and he is just himself. He's very respectful of others and strives to consider what another person could be feeling in a situation. His mom did a great job raising him. Shane is no stranger to career transition, he embodies what it is to be chasing a lifestyle and for that reason you should definitely give this one a listen. Make sure to also check out his podcast, City of Champions.I need to mention, "Making Coco: The Grant Fuhr Story" was just released and Shane was the co-producer. It's a pretty big deal to be able to see your name on www.IMDB.com amidst so many other big names. With quite a few projects on the horizon, you should definitely have Shane on your radar if you don't already. He was also recently on the cover of YEG Fitness magazine, so ladies, he's not just an ambitious lifestyle driven thoughtful good friend, he also takes really good care of himself. Just saying, if you can catch up to his hustleGlad I got the chance to sit down with Shane for another session of "Chris and Shane shoot the shit at Shane's place", I'm sure he'll be back for another episode down the road.  Get full access to Insight by Chris Liddle at chrisliddle.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 7 - Tim Gourlay

This episode features the founder of Fitset, Tim Gourlay. Fitset is essentially a multi-studio gym membership that enables people to try a variety of different studios and classes around the city. Tim was one of my supporters for my Goal Crushing Event earlier this year and it's always fun working together with him on different things. I ran into some technical difficulties with two different micro usb cables on this one so we have some extra banter but what kind of podcast would this be if we didn't admit when things didn't go as planned? Fun fact, this episode was recorded in the middle of the old Sears store at Kingsway Garden Mall. Also, Tim streamed it on Intagram Live, so we had that going for us. Enjoy this very authentic episode and be sure to subscribe! Get full access to Insight by Chris Liddle at chrisliddle.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 6 - Layne Mitchell

This episode was good. REALLY GOOD. Any parents of young kids or even just fitness enthusiasts should really listen up because Layne has a daily routine that is worth learning a thing or two from. His journey that essentially thrust him into making healthy lifestyle choices makes you think twice about what we are eating or how we are spending our time in our lives. It's easy to eat shitty food when you can get away with eating shitty food. It's easy to make excuses and say we are too busy, not only with our nutrition and fitness but also in our relationships with loved ones. More and more we are finding people are getting health complications physically and mentally and it all comes down to how we are treating our body. From the radio to lifestyle to Layne's ongoing pursuit towards being the best dad he can be, Layne shares it all. You're going to love the audio quality on this one. Helps when you get to record it at Sonic 102.9. Thanks Layne! Get full access to Insight by Chris Liddle at chrisliddle.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 5 - Ruhee Kassam

Episode 5 with Ruhee Kassam was done in her Audiology studio. But the microphone was sitting on top of my laptop, so that's why you hear the weird buzzing noise. An otherwise flawless audio experience. Ruhee is someone that has seen me go through a TONNE of personal growth and when you listen to this episode, you'll learn that personal growth is the name of her game. She's all about that self awareness, self-love, attitude and an incredibly authentic human being. Also, you should see her Drake challenge video.  We gave a lot of shoutouts to local businesses and inspiring people we both know. You're going to want to give this one a listen. It has a really good message that should resonate with you.  Get full access to Insight by Chris Liddle at chrisliddle.substack.com/subscribe
