It was fun chatting with Calgary-based artist Kathy Lycka recently. So much of what she does is incredibly strategic and it is rooted in a strong work ethic and desire to create.
She very clearly enjoys creating her art, creating her jewelry, creating content for her social media channels, and generating income from her passion.
I can’t say enough positive things about my chat with Kathy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Our wedding was held outdoors in the simmering, summer heat of the Canadian Prairies. However, we planned much of the wedding in the bitter, winter cold of those same Prairies.
It was 15 years ago this week that we took that walk down the aisle before racing off to Quebec City for the fun part. 🤩
Back then, my artist wife was still burgeoning in her career in those days. Neither of us really had a true grasp of the business side of her chosen vocation.

Plus, although much of it doesn’t make it into the below Q&A, it was fun to chat with her about our mutual love of early Coldplay as well as her trip to Australia.
I hope you enjoy the chat with Allison as much as I did.

His paintings start selling for close to $20,000, and it goes up from there.
I suspect he doesn’t remember but I met him once.
Continue readingI enjoyed chatting recently with Alexandra Gronfors as she sat in her waterfront-view condo in downtown Barrie, Ontario.
I didn’t put a timer on it, but I’m pretty sure she was smiling for 90 per cent of our 30-minute Skype chat. When she wasn’t smiling, she was laughing.
Alexandra is high energy and, if you know her story, she’s also inspiring. If you don’t know her story, I hope you can catch a glimpse of it through the interview below.

Our old kitchen table was covered in microscopic specks of paint. I hadn’t noticed them for months. Yet, when I did, I spent the better part of an afternoon trying to clean them off.
I shared all about this evil afternoon several months back.
Shortly after reading that Saturday Morning Story my wife confessed: “In my defense: I noticed them and tried to clean them, but they were oil-based paint.”
Well, that’s great.
