*This experience will be unavailable June 25-July 10th, and July 18-August 11 due to my Olympic schedule* Do you feel like you waste your morning feeling slow, half awake, or unfocused? Do you feel unmotivated when you wake up, and then hope to find inspiration later in the day, but don’t? In this online experience, we’ll walk through the morning routine that helped me get to, and keeps me competing at a world-class level. We’ll start by hydrating with a cold glass of lime-salt water and I’ll tell you the incredible story of how I made my first Olympic team after getting hit by a track and field hammer (warning: it’s the biggest bruise you’ll ever see). This event was the catalyst of my obsession with habits & routines. Next, we'll do some gentle but energising movements to activate your body. Thirdly, we'll go through effective journaling cues to activate a positive and motivated mindset. With blood flowing and a primed outlook, I’ll guide you through a short but highly effective meditation. As the finale, you'll learn the trick of how to enjoy a cold shower as well as some of the physiological benefits. A “cheat sheet” of the routine as well as links to more info is provided after the experience. This Experience is great for team-building, and upon request can be shortened to a 50 minute webinar style event!

Learn how to make world class cocktails from the comfort of your own home! I'll be teaching you all about cocktails; the history, techniques, tools, recipes and more while we make two different cocktails along the way. Be sure to bring your notepad as I have lots of information to share! We'll start by discussing the main techniques used in making cocktails: stirring, shaking and built cocktails and when to use them, followed by an introduction to cocktail tools. From there, we'll make our first cocktail and I'll teach you the history of cocktails and their modern renaissance, while you sip your first drink. I will also discuss some staple ingredients and spirits, some awesome ingredients you can make at home such as flavored syrups, a brief explanation of how ice affects cocktails, the major families of cocktails and more, all with some fun stories thrown in. We'll wrap up with a little more in-depth information before allowing an open period of discussion. As mentioned, I've taught everyone from absolute beginners to world class bartenders on various aspects of this seminar so please reach out beforehand and we can tailor the seminar to your knowledge level! *Please note - the seminar booking is by the number of people, not devices.*

Immerse yourself in the chilling dramas of historic Gastown as you venture into Vancouver's earliest and most gruesome history on this 90-minute walking tour. Follow the lamplight of your guide as you discover the terror of a Great Fire that ate up Gastown in minutes, the long forgotten plague of smallpox, and the unsolved murder of John Bray. Designed for adult audiences, the experience is both a walking tour and a theatre piece. Your guide is a professional actor, performing in character throughout. Every story is grounded in documented Vancouver history, taken from the city archives. The plot line is woven together as the tragic tale of one person's life, ending in a dramatic finale in Gastown's Maple Tree Square. Every one of Gastown's must-see sites and landmarks is visited on the walk, the oldest hotel, the Gastown Steam Clock, you’ll see how Vancouver looked before and after the Great Fire, explore notorious Gaoler's Mews, and walk down the back alleys of Water Street to famous Maple Tree Square. Do not expect a ghost tour or conventional walking tour – this is a performance experience that will pull you so deep into the swirling lamplight and darkened alleys of Gastown’s murky past, you may have a hard time finding your way back out… Other things to note We run the tours rain or shine, if it is raining, be sure to pack an umbrella and wear your rain boots! There are no bathroom breaks on the tour.

Hit the mean streets of Vancouver with a professional guide as you learn about rum-runners, mobsters, and dirty cops on a walk through Gastown. Meet up with your guide and set out on foot, listening to tales of illicit activity in this coastal city at the turn of century. Learn about real historical figures like feared mob boss Joe Celona, Prohibition Commissioner Walter Findlay, and “King of the Gamblers” Shue Moy. Hear how the mob set up illegal drinking dens around the city and bribed dirty cops to look the other way. Listen to tales of longtime mayor L.D. Taylor and his infamously raucous parties, and discover how enterprising Vancouver rum-runners made their fortunes smuggling booze down the coast once the US adopted Prohibition as well. Make your way through Victory Square and scope out fabled buildings like the Dominion Building. Stroll down the best-preserved alleyways in the city to really feel like you've traveled back in time. And finish up the tour in Gastown's historic Maple Tree Square, the heart of the city’s finest restaurant and bar scene. The perfect place to grab a post-tour cocktail and reminisce over your evening of adventure! Other things to note There are no bathroom breaks on this tour.

My goal is to provide a safe tour of Gastown, Chinatown, Vancouver harbor and Convention Center at night, while learning photography. I'll take you to both popular spots as well as hidden gems tourists are not familiar with. In addition, I will recommend other city spots for night photography, as well as suggestions for restaurants and watering holes from a local. For photos, we'll cover techniques like long exposure for DSLR cameras as well night shots with camera phones. Alternatively, we can do photo shoots instead of learning photography if that's your interest. Either way, you'll receive complimentary photos after the tour.
