Through all of these different evolutions and changes, there were little things that led me from one to the other. But also, I'm really honest to say that a little bit of looking in the rear view of the mirror and seeing you afterward, at the time, it was just a lot of change. And I know today, Vince, we're going to talk about something that I mentioned in Change Addict to Change Guru.

I really was a change addict in a sense. When I left Canada in 1984, I just threw caution to the wind and went. Hipped to Thailand. I packed the suitcase. I went there. I had no, I knew nothing about the language, culture, the working environment or anything. I not only changed the city I lived in, but the country, the culture, the language, the industry and everything at once.

I not only changed the city I lived in, but the country, the culture, the language, the industry and everything at once.

And that really put me on the path. to do it repeatedly until before I moved back to Canada, I joked to myself that look, if I change everything at once and I'm addicted to doing that, the only thing I can do next is maybe move to the moon. There's no more I can add into the mix to make it harder on myself.

So I think full circle, all of the different industries and markets and cultures and countries, roles and people that I've dealt with, you can put a lot of energy into promoting it and encouraging it, but to a point before it gets a little bit dangerous. So hopefully that's a good interview, Vince. If you've got any other questions for me on that, I'd be happy to delve into it.

I could take up for a whole hour on myself if you want.

Regina is a lovely city. And like I said, I grew up here and I grew up at a time when it was pretty traditional. Most of us looked the same. There wasn't a whole lot of ways to escape it, the right word to use. And so there wasn't a lot of novelty, at least from my perspective.

If you wanted to, you could, you grew up here, you went to university, you got a degree in administration and we're a government now. So you go work for the government. You'd find your partner, start a family and so on. So path was pretty, pretty much laid out. And that really wasn't me.

And at the time I didn't know, I wasn't sure what I was looking for, but I knew that wasn't the path that I wanted to take. And so the only thing I could do is basically have my radar on high alert for anything that sort of caught my interest. And that's where I get to the change addict. It's a lot about novelty. Oh, wouldn't it be neat if I moved to Kenya and I worked for a bank?

Or wouldn't it be cool if I went to China and I studied? And when I hear people say that, I'm always encouraging them to consider it. But the question afterwards is what thing, for what purpose? If you go and you could study where you live now because of all the opportunities we have and online and the virtual world has made it easy. For example, us today, you're in Hong Kong and I'm in Regina.

We're very easily, we can do whatever we want. Well, why do you need, why do you need to go there and do that? And if the answer that comes back, a lot of, I don't know, I saw a movie and China looks really neat or, oh, I saw that one person on social media that they do this and they're being super successful. So why would not we meet? And I don't think it's a bad answer.
