BB25-49. Carl Richards, Your Podcasting

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building our business show with Sara Troy and her guest Carl Richards, on air from December 9th

My message is simple. Everyone has a voice…though many of us are afraid to use it. For the first 12 years of my life, I wrestled with a debilitating stutter, that silenced me. It was easier to be quieter than speak up. I learned in speech therapy the only person in control of your speech is YOU! Very powerful. I went on to enjoy a 25 year career in radio broadcasting, now a podcast strategist.

As stated above, I started in radio broadcasting. Really I wanted to be an actor…but for every actor who makes it, there are thousands working drive thru asking if you want fries with that. I figured starting in the media would be a good ‘bridge’ to becoming an actor. Loved the radio world so much, didn’t want to leave. Did a lot of community theatre when I wasn’t on air. When my radio career ended during the pandemic, I chose self employment (full-time…already had a part time speaker training gig) to help coaches, consultants and other subject matter experts launch world class podcasts.

BB25-49. Ocean & Deb Drummond Enterprises

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Deb Drummond and Ocean, on air from December 9th

Go behind the scenes of entrepreneurship as Deb and Ocean open up about the realities of building a family business from the ground up — the triumphs, the late-night problem-solving, and the relentless belief that keeps them moving forward. Discover how they’ve learned to balance being partners in life and partners in enterprise, navigating challenges with creativity, communication, and a deep commitment to their shared purpose.

It’s a candid look at what it truly takes to grow a business with the people you love — the harmony, the contradictions, and the beautiful evolution that happens along the way.

We’re always happy to share anything entrepreneurial that might support others on this journey. We’ve just taken stock of the past year — acknowledging the wins, honoring the lessons, and using both to shape our 2026 agenda with clarity and optimism.

So consider this a behind-the-scenes look at what the process really feels like: the pivots, the proud moments, the messy middle, and the growth that comes from staying committed through it all. If our experiences can help someone else navigate their own path with a little more confidence and direction ?, then we’re absolutely here for it.

BB25-46. Matt Rouse – Will AI Take My Job? 

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Matthew M. Rouse, on air from November 18th

When I started doing research for my own company, I found out that AI was going to potentially kill our business if we didn’t make changes soon… very soon! So we pivoted our business (so far so good) but also I found that no one in the business world was seeing what I was seeing, so I wrote the book, Will AI Take My Job?

BB25-41. Norm Wolf, Not Just Numbers

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Norm Wolf, on air from Ocvtober 14th

I am Norm Wolf. I have a passion for business.  I started my business life at the age of 10 years old when I would sit in front of my grandfather’s confectionery in front of the Stampede Grounds in Calgary selling pop to people walking to and from the Stampede.

At New Heights Accounting, we believe that a “one size fits all” solution is not good for all of our clients.  Depending on YOUR situation, your accounting requirements are going to be different than those of other people.  We will take the time to tailor a program to fit your accounting needs and budget. We will not do more than that you actually require.  If the only requirement is to produce your tax return (be it a personal or corporation) then that is what we will do; why pay for a set of Financial Statements if you will not use them?

My Wife and I were accountants in Calgary, it was getting time close to when I was considering retirement and wanted a change of place.  My wife was not ready for the retirement life and wanted to open her own accounting firm.  We decided to move west to BC, and we wanted to near a large body of water.  The first location on our list was the Okanagan, but my wife hated the area as it was too much desert.  The next location was Vancouver but that’s way too expensive for us, the next area was Vancouver Island.  She wanted Victoria and I didn’t want to move to an area where there was a lot of traffic, and she wanted someplace with a good hospital and transportation.  Since I had been to the Island many times, we finally settled on Nanaimo.  Without any public practice management experience, we opened our public accounting firm, but with my 45 plus years of experience in business and with my Master’s degree in Business and Anna’s CPA we opened our firm with a theme of “we want to partner in our client’s success, which is the driving force behind our firm.

One of the main themes that I use in my business life is “Accounting is more than just the numbers, it is the people behind the numbers.”
