Hear Here :: It’s a packed show for you this weekend: A new survey ranks Canada as the top place in the world people dream of moving to (nearly 5000 people in 28 countries were asked.) And, a new Conde Naste survey sees us at #14 of all the places in the world travellers want to visit. Yay us!
But, our country is in an era marked by rising tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and shifting global alliances; Canada’s national identity is now being tested. A branding expert says Canada’s brand needs a refresh, and joins us to tell us why - and what he has in mind.
Plus we have a segment that makes me grateful I have a dog* and no kids: What is wrong with my teen? An addiction expert comes to the show, bringing her wisdom and advice for parents whose teenage children are abusing substances and alcohol.
But up first: What do Einstein, Elias Howe (inventor of the sewing machine), and Stephenie Meyer (author of the Twilight books and subsequent movie adaptations) have in common?
They were all “dreamifestors”—people who tapped into the creative genius of their dreams and contributed to the world. Einstein famously credited his work in physics and the development of the theory of relativity to a dream he had when he was 18. In 1845, Elias Howe had a dream about cannibals and spears that solved a crucial design problem involving his sewing machine’s needle. Stephenie Meyer’s dream of a benevolent vampire inspired the blockbuster book/film series Twilight.
“Dreams may seem bizarre or fleeting, but when we learn to decode their messages and act on their wisdom, they become a powerful wellspring of guidance, innovation, and transformation,” says a renowned dream expert, who joins us this episode to reveal the steps you need to take to unlock the magic of your nighttime dreams—and turn them into real-life breakthroughs.
Enjoy the listen.
