Sean Alexander is a former Canadian Oil-Patcher turned CEO at Kailani Outdoors. His path to get there was unconventional to say the least. In this episode we tip our toes briefly into Sean's up-bringing, which includes him being forced to live on is own at the age of 16, and having already switched schools 14 times by grade eight. Eventually he would drop out of high school to go make a life for himself.

Sean later found himself working in Corporate Calgary downtown peddling various Oil and Gas services products. He was doing well, and he enjoyed it. But he was always searching for something new, given his uprbringing this kind of makes a lot of sense to always be looking for something. Sean was, as per usual, side hustling some Paddle Boards which were kind of blowing up everwhere frankly. He speaks of his life working on the side out of his garage selling his own paddle boards from China, and going to his day job every morning. Once he got good at the importing/exporting game, he later got his on eye coolers. This is where it truly begins. He became a travelling cooler salesman, but not just any cooler! Everyone knows about the Yeti, well he found this bad boy and tested it himself in his garage, his lab if you will, and discovered this thing was pretty darn comparable, if not the same. But cheaper! BOOM, the hook. $$$
He speaks of immediate sales and not being able to keep up, once he branded his newly formed company, Kailani Outdoors, which in Hawaiin means "Sea, Sky or Heavenly Sea". Once he knew had something and started to blow up, he eventually would find himself raising more capital and even landing a stint on Dragon's Den, we discuss his time on the show.

In this episode we also inevitably get into Politics and the Donald Trump tariffs situation in Canada. How Canada desperately needs an election. Mark Carney being the Trudeau clone. The Freedom Convoy. Trumps inauguration. And so much more. Sean's story is truly one of Triumph and Determination. As his story unfolds in front of our eyes, I would hope to see more great things from this young man and suspect we might even see his story told in books perhaps!

Caylan Ford was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta and is the current Founder and owner/operator at her recently expanded Alberta Classical Academy. They're up to 3 locations already in Alberta in a very short amount of time. But how she got here is a story still unfolding. Caylan was one of the brightest up-and-coming star political candidates for the UCP, running for a spot in her riding of Calgary-Mountain View. But a charismatic, and rather dark character would soon emerge to completely ruin her life through a series of bold moves and ridiculous accusations. Karim Jivraj and Caylan struck up a working relationship while both considering their next moves in the political space. They ultimately both decided to relocate from Ontario to Alberta. Caylan got the nod to represent the UCP to run for her riding of Mountain View. But 29 days before the writ drop to announce the election, she received an ominous email from Press Progress saying they had information to suggest she was a racist whom supported "white supremacy" and "echoed white nationalist sentiments" and asked if she cared to comment, within 3 hours. It all arose from lengthy online conversations she'd had over Facebook Messenger some years prior with Karim. We dive into almost every greasy detail and dirty move that not only Karim pulled on Caylan's potential career, but once leaked to the press, CBC, Toronto Star and others simply ran with the story. In 2020 she filed a 7.65 Million defamation claim against the defendants including: CBC, NDP, Toronto Star, Press Progress and a slew of other individuals who did not take the time to check the source for verification. In short, the conversation was taken completely out of context. Calyan found herself unemployable and isolated and lost almost all of her so called "friends" In this episode we also share a clip from her documentary "When the Mob Came".

DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE-IT WILL SIMPLY BLOW YOUR MIND ON THE AWFUL OUTCOMES OF CANCEL CULTURE.
