  • Marcel Bregstein - A Character with Immense Character
    2025/04/03

    “We’re not in the hospitality business. I create experiences. I create moments. I create memories.” – Marcel Bregstein

    What does turning a dining room into a stage and service into soul-stirring theatre take? In this week’s 'Taped Live' - Chatter That Matters, I sit down—glass in hand and mic on—with Marcel Bregstein: sommelier, showman, and the heart behind The Toronto Hunt, one of Canada’s most extraordinary clubs. His story is a cinematic sweep—from privilege in Costa Rica, to hardship in Canada, to cruise ships, heartbreak, fine wine, a television show and finally, a calling. Marcel doesn’t just serve food or wine. He serves memory. Meaning. Magic. And along the way, he reminds us that what truly matters is how you make people feel.

    Listen to this episode to discover how a busboy turned maître d’ became a knighted sommelier, how a bottle of ’47 Lafite taught more than taste, and how great service is never about the table—but the story you take home from it.

    And as a bonus? Special appearances were made by three Canadian icons—wine entrepreneur extraordinaire Elayne Bassett, one of Canada’s most celebrated musicians, John Lennard, and celebrated chef Jamie Kennedy, who shared their reflections on what makes Marcel a character of immense character.

    This is a great listen for anyone who loves a good rags-to-riches-to-emotional riches story and those who want to matter more by creating experiences that linger long after the lights go out.

    Many years ago, Marcel was a newcomer to Canada. To learn more about RBC and how they support those who come here to chase the Canadian dream. https://www.rbcroyalbank.com/en-ca/new-to-canada/newcomers/

  • Gina Livy - Earned, Not Given
    2025/03/27

    “I just have an idea. I’m motivated. I figure out how to do it, and away I go.”

    I usually avoid experts who offer lifestyle advice since there are so many podcasts that cover that territory already. However, I was at a loss for words when I learned more about Gina Livy's unique journey.

    Gina’s story isn’t about pounds lost—it’s about purpose reclaimed. From a university experience that saw her gain 100 pounds and a new perspective to becoming a fierce entrepreneur who leads with instinct, Gina didn’t just overcome the odds—she rewrote them.

    What makes this conversation matter is what Gina stands for. She’s built a massive community not through perfection, but presence. She shows up—through grief, doubt, and real life—and gives others the courage to do the same. If you’ve ever questioned your path, purpose, or whether you belong in the room, or the dent you want to make in the universe, Gina’s story reminds you that the answer isn’t out there. It’s already in you.

  • Jennie Coleman - One Amazing Banana
    2025/03/20

    What if the challenges life throws at you aren’t roadblocks but stepping stones to something greater?

    Born almost blind, Jennie Coleman never saw the world like others until a miraculous surgery at 13 changed everything. But that was just the beginning. She built a trailblazing career at Bombardier, specializing in corporate strategy and travelling between Montreal, Zurich, Berlin, and Beijing. Then, life threw her another challenge: her daughter Laura, born with an ultra-rare genetic mutation, forever needed care. Jennie could have retreated, but instead, she redefined success.

    Jennie left the corporate world, took a leap of faith, and bought a business she knew nothing about—Equifruit, a Fairtrade banana company. And with the same resilience that carried her through every chapter of her life, she turned it into a force for good, fighting for fair wages, sustainability, and ethical trade.

    Jennie's journey—from corporate warrior to purpose-driven entrepreneur—earned her the title of RBC Momentum Award Winner. The Harvard Business School has published a case on her accomplishments, and Jennie has been named Canada's Most Admired CEO by Waterson Human Capital.

    But her story isn’t just about business. It’s about family, and humanity, and someone who sees beyond profit to a higher purpose.
