Done right here in the Edmonton area in Nisku Alberta. I've been on the gin kick lately so I picked up the Wild Rose Gin. Rig Hand has been around since 2004 and they've been in social media for a very long time, coupling with the radio station here as well as a pretty popular podcast network if you may have heard of.  Nation Shoutout

Parenting 

If you have kids in the service industry you need to be aware of what they're doing, but you need to give them space at the same time. This time in their life, they're going to be learning a lot about themselves and they're going to be growing and they're going to be finding who they are as human beings, as adults, they're going to make mistakes and they're going to do stupid things. You have to let them make mistakes; however, you want to make sure that the mistakes they're making aren't going to be harmful to them or to others.  

Mental Health 

If you're a leader in the industry, check in with the people that you work with, especially over the last 18 months, it's been hell on a lot of people out there. Take the time to check in with the people you work with, with your friends, and make sure they're doing okay outside of work 

Dapper 

Today we're talking about showing up. There's a quote that one of my special-team coaches back in football used to tell me when I first got to Kelowna to play for the Sun.  “If you're going to fly like an owl at night. You better be able to soar with the Eagles in the morning.” Think about that. If you're going to go out and play at night with your friends, have a good time and party. You better damn well be able to show up and do your job, show up every shift, be present, be classy, look clean. Do your job 100%.  If you're going to be able to go and play, if you're mature enough to make that decision, you better be mature enough to show up for your shift the next day. 

Dad Tip of the Day 

"There's always some truth behind ‘Just kidding’, knowledge behind every ‘I don't know’ emotions behind ‘I don't care’, and pain behind, ‘It's okay’.”
