Shit My Dad Taught Me

In this episode of Shit My Dad Taught Me, we sit down with Canadian broadcaster, author and radio personality Roz Weston for a conversation about media, fatherhood, grief, family, friendship and finding meaning outside of your career.
Roz reflects on his journey from growing up in a small town and landing an early opportunity with The Howard Stern Show to building a decades long career in Canadian entertainment, including ET Canada and The Roz & Mocha Show. He shares what he's learned from interviewing some of the biggest names in entertainment, his relationship with Mocha and how the media industry changed with the rise of social media.
He also opens up about his father's journey to sobriety, losing his dad, processing grief while writing his memoir and how those lessons now influence the father he is to his daughter, Roxy. Roz also shares his perspective on raising a teenager around social media, dealing with online criticism and why the things you love most in life don't necessarily need to be your job.
It's a funny, personal and thoughtful conversation about reinvention, loss, fatherhood, career longevity and building a life that means more than what you do for work.

In this episode of Shit My Dad Taught Me, we sit down with entrepreneur, media founder and commentator Jonathan Harvey to talk about failure, resilience, business, fatherhood and what success actually means.

Jonathan shares his journey from dropping out of college and failing at businesses in his twenties to building companies across restaurants, construction, media and technology. He talks about learning through failure, staying focused as an entrepreneur, “burning the boats” and why knowing your definition of success matters before you spend your life chasing it.

He also opens up about his more than 20 year relationship with his wife Megan, raising their son Jackson, preparing for their second child and their upcoming move from Canada to Texas. Becoming a father has changed Jonathan's perspective on ambition, time and legacy, with his biggest goals now extending far beyond business.

It's a conversation about building companies, raising resilient kids, surrounding your family with the right people and creating a life where success gives you more of what matters most: time.

In this episode of Shit My Dad Taught Me, we sit down with former Canadian national team captain Jason deVos for a conversation about soccer, leadership, coaching, fatherhood and finding purpose beyond the game.

Jason takes us from his childhood in rural Ontario through an 18 year professional soccer career, representing Canada and eventually moving into broadcasting, coaching and leadership. He shares what great coaches taught him about supporting young athletes, why parents don't need to coach their kids on the drive home and why leadership has nothing to do with the title beside your name.

Jason also opens up about the difficult transition out of professional sports, separating his identity as an athlete from who he was as a person, going to therapy and working to become a better husband and father. It's a conversation about sport, family, vulnerability, lifelong learning and continuing to grow through every stage of life.
