BB25-41. Norm Wolf, Not Just Numbers

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.”

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from October 14th

Well, I’ve just come off a wonderful Monday–Tuesday weekend that really began on Sunday. My daughter came over from the mainland to Vancouver Island, where we both live, and we shared a lovely evening together. I made vegan bobotie—a Malaysian-inspired South African dish—and we savored every bite. The next day, my son and his wife arrived, and we surprised my daughter with an impromptu baby shower. Her dear friend joined us, and we pampered her with a face mask, a hand and foot massage, and even I got a foot massage, since it was my birthday! The evening flowed into laughter, feasting, and the simple joy of being together.

The following day, my daughter and friend headed home while the rest of us took the little ones to the park. Later, we enjoyed another delicious meal and gathered around a campfire, watching my two-and-a-half-year-old grandson delight in the flames. It was the perfect ending to a birthday weekend filled with love, warmth, and gratitude. We celebrated my birthday on October 6th, my daughter’s baby shower—she’s due any day now—and my son’s upcoming birthday at the end of the month. We even tried to squeeze in Thanksgiving!

Moments like these remind me that the greatest gift of all is family. Though my children live busy lives—one in Vancouver, one in Maple Ridge, and one here on the island—it was such a gift to have everyone under one roof. My son cooked up a storm: lasagna, shepherd’s pie, a hearty mushroom soup, and a batch of freezer meals for his sister as she prepares for the new baby. I came home with leftovers myself, all made with love.

I know not everyone has the opportunity to be close to family, and that makes me even more grateful. We shared stories, laughter, and memories, cherishing every moment. Add to that the nearly 300 birthday wishes I received from my online community—thank you all for the love! My heart is full.

Turning 71 feels like an honor. I’m well into my seventies now, and I see this as a season to keep creating, learning, and giving. I plan to release Our Forgotten Children as an audiobook before Christmas, continue hosting incredible guests, and, of course, welcome my new grandson into the world. Perhaps a little puppy will join my life in the new year too.

I believe birthdays are sacred reminders that life itself is a gift. Each new year invites us to plant seeds, nourish the day, and live in gratitude. We never know how many days we have, but we can choose to make each one meaningful. Share your wisdom, volunteer, create, and bring your light to others—the return will be tenfold.

So here’s to another year of life, love, and purpose. Thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special. By the time you hear this, I hope I’ll be holding my new grandson in my arms. Until then, remember to listen, learn, and apply, for wisdom is always ready to blossom when you are.

Entrepreneurship, Media, and the Future of Business Storytelling

How The Daily Pitch Helps Managers, Leaders, and Entrepreneurs Get Better @ What They Do

My “why” is rooted in helping managers, leaders, and entrepreneurs get better at what they do. After decades working with Fortune 500 companies and with C-Suite leaders, I saw a gap between the insights executives have access to and the practical, everyday knowledge that small business owners and professionals need to thrive. I founded DissedMedia as a company focused on developing products and insights that will help those interested in business at any level build upon their knowledge and wisdom. It is really a marriage of my three passions, which are business, education, and creativity. I’ve been in the CPG industry (Consumer Product Goods), for over 30 years, higher education for 20, and a curious creator all my life. The Daily Pitch is a platform I designed to publish stories and insights about business, leadership, and entrepreneurship. The Daily Pitch Academy is an education platform I am building to help individuals at all levels learn about theories and practices I have taught for many years. It will also become a platform for consultants and coaches who can leverage it to help teach and inform too. The podcast, DissedMedia A Startup Story tells the story of starting DissedMedia from the very beginning. My purpose is to share not only what I’ve learned in boardrooms and classrooms, but also to democratize that wisdom so anyone building a business or leading a team can make smarter, faster, and more human decisions.

I began my career at Coca-Cola in Atlanta as a frontline contractor making $5.50 an hour. Seeing that growth required education and experience I didn’t yet have, I enrolled in college while working full-time and raising a family. Over two decades at Coca-Cola, I advanced professionally, earned my degree, pursued an MBA, and eventually began teaching.

After 20 years in the beverage industry, I transitioned into wine while completing a PhD in Business Administration with a focus on Industrial Organizational Psychology. Alongside my career in consumer goods, I’ve served in academia as an adjunct professor, department chair, and MBA program director—teaching or developing over 75 courses in business, spanning leadership, management, marketing, operations, and more.

These experiences inspired me to found DissedMedia, home to The Daily Pitch news platform and The Daily Pitch Academy. My work centers on translating business trends into meaningful insights for leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday decision-makers.

Stephen Chong has shared his insightful wisdom with us many times, each time building on the last.

Author of The After Life we delved into what really happens to us beyond this life.

‘The Afterlife’ was written after a profound spiritual awakening (near-death) experience, the author, Stephen Paul Chong now shares these gifts with a passion and purpose so that all may benefit from the divinely inspired wisdom.

https://selfdiscoverywisdom.com/2024/01/01/ig24-01-stephen-chong-the-afterlife

Sharing deep insights and meaningful life-purpose guidance—particularly around grief, loss, and their profound connection to the heavenly realm. Our conversation will flow into revelations from The Afterlife, including what I’ve learned about the Abode of Reunion, the School for Children, and the presence of Spirit Guides.

https://selfdiscoverywisdom.com/2025/08/11/ig25-32-stephen-chong-laws-of-heaven-earth

In this time of great turmoil and spiritual awakening, the discussion will explore how individuals can recognize their self-worth and understand the power of thoughts, words, and deeds, which are ultimately revealed in life’s review. It will touch on the three inner saboteurs that prevent people from reaching their highest potential, along with a technique for releasing them.

IG25-40. Stephen Chong’s Practical Divine Tools

Stephen Chong M.Ed. is a Far North Queensland, Australian-based author who draws his inspirations from life’s themes that relate to us all – love, grief, struggle, overcoming obstacles. Culminating in his six inspirational novels, feature-film screenplays, and multiple short-stories, he has converted these ‘life themes’ into stories that we can all relate to. Stephen’s expertise of balancing modern work practices with personal life provides unique insights that make this life, and life in the hereafter, a much better place.
