Rig Hand, Service Industry Talk with Parenting, Mental Health, & Dapper - An OBVIOU5 Voice – Episode 47  @CaptainOBVIOU5  Sunday Funday  Rig Hand Distillery  @RigHandSpirits (Twitter)  @RigHandDistillery (IG)  Done right here in the Edmonton area in Nisku Alberta. I've been on the gin kick lately so I picked up the Wild Rose Gin. Rig Hand has been around since 2004 and they've been in social media for a very long time, coupling with the radio station here as well as a pretty popular podcast network if you may have heard of.  Nation Shoutout Parenting  If you have kids in the service industry you need to be aware of what they're doing, but you need to give them space at the same time. This time in their life, they're going to be learning a lot about themselves and they're going to be growing and they're going to be finding who they are as human beings, as adults, they're going to make mistakes and they're going to do stupid things. You have to let them make mistakes; however, you want to make sure that the mistakes they're making aren't going to be harmful to them or to others.   Mental Health  If you're a leader in the industry, check in with the people that you work with, especially over the last 18 months, it's been hell on a lot of people out there. Take the time to check in with the people you work with, with your friends, and make sure they're doing okay outside of work  Dapper  Today we're talking about showing up. There's a quote that one of my special-team coaches back in football used to tell me when I first got to Kelowna to play for the Sun.  “If you're going to fly like an owl at night. You better be able to soar with the Eagles in the morning.” Think about that. If you're going to go out and play at night with your friends, have a good time and party. You better damn well be able to show up and do your job, show up every shift, be present, be classy, look clean. Do your job 100%.  If you're going to be able to go and play, if you're mature enough to make that decision, you better be mature enough to show up for your shift the next day.  Dad Tip of the Day  "There's always some truth behind ‘Just kidding’, knowledge behind every ‘I don't know’ emotions behind ‘I don't care’, and pain behind, ‘It's okay’.”

District Wine Village, Pride in Kids, Challenge Yourself - An OBVIOU5 Voice – Episode 46 @CaptainOBVIOU5  Sunday Funday:  District Wine Village  @DistrictWineVillage (Instagram)  District Wine Village opened up in Oliver, has brought together a bunch of different wineries, breweries, and a restaurant, all in one location. Think of it as a playground for adults.  Max Brock and Matt Kenyon came together to bring the first district wine village together here in Canada, being down where wine country is in the Okanagan Valley.  The different wineries that are there: Gneiss Wines, JoiRyde Winery, Nk’Mip Cellars, One Faith Vineyards, Vintners Cove Winery, Wapiti Cellars, and Winemakers Cut. Parenting:  I want to talk about the pride that you have in your children. We're always proud of our kids. But there are certain situations that happened that you're just beaming with pride so much that your tears swell up and your heart is booming and it's just that you want to grab them and hold them and hug them. We need to celebrate those little moments with them we need to share how we feel with our children so they know that pride and it's something that, when they see that in their parent's face. Mental Health:  I want you to challenge yourself.  Do one thing.  Every year, every month, every week, and every day. That will take you out of your comfort zone, and allow you to challenge yourself, allow you to be a better you. Dapper:  Keep your cool. Going through life you're going to be running into certain situations that are going to test you all the time. How you react to these situations. It helps determine who you're going to be as a person. And it also determines how others view you. The dapper lifestyle and being dapper comes down to stoicism practicing being stoic, every single day, or anytime you run into these situations is extremely important in living the dapper lifestyle. Because as I've said before, it's not the way your hair is cut or the clothes that you wear. It's how you act around people and the things you do when people aren't around. Dad Tip of the Day:  "Keep faith. The most amazing things in life tend to happen right at that moment that you're about to give up hope.”

 Inniskillin, Be Fathers for your Daughters - An OBVIOU5 Voice – Episode 45  @CaptainOBVIOU5    Sunday Funday:  Inniskillin Merlot  @InniskillinWine  We're going back to the Okanagan Valley, but south.  We are going to Oliver, talking about Inniskillin wines which are an amazing winery down in Oliver BC they've been around for about 40 years now. The reason why I want to talk about Inniskillen is because they’re Zinfandel, is one of my top five all-time favorite wines  Mental Health:  I want to bring up being patient, being patient with teenage girls, their mental health and your mental health too. And I know that this was one of my biggest issues. When my daughters were growing up is I didn't take that step back and I didn't take that breath sometimes when I needed to. And that's something that I've learned over the years  Parenting:  Single dads out there. Be aware of who you are around your girls around people in society. Show your daughters the type of man they need to look for when they fall in love  Dapper:  Show your daughters what dapper is when they're looking for that next man in their life, their spouse, their lover, whatever the case, make sure that they understand what dapper is  Dad Tip of the Day:  “Behind every great daughter is a truly amazing father”

Quails Gate, Routine, Communication - An OBVIOU5 Voice – Episode 44    @CaptainOBVIOU5    Sunday Funday:  Quails Gate Winery  @Quails_Gate (Twitter)  @QuailsGate (Instagram)  Back to the Okanagan we go with Quail's Gate Rose. Winemakers of the world have taken the Rose and perfected it. They've made it more of a class in itself. So now you have your reds, your whites, and your rose. This winery has actually been around for 60 years, they're only celebrating the 30th year as Quails Gate, but the Steward family in the Okanagan have been working the vineyards for the last 60 years.    Parenting  Budgeting with our children. And the reason why I'm bringing this up because I've got my pumpkin here, and she loves her fidget toys, and she collects an allowance and she wants to buy more fidget toys, she's got 28 in total right now.    Mental Health  Routine. Something that I've been trying to develop for myself over the last couple of months and it's been difficult to say the least. I'm a paper in person guy or a pen and paper guy, I like to write stuff down, but I love technology. I want to type it into my computer I want to have my alerts come up I want to have my calendar on my laptop and my phone alert me when something's happening. But when they make a list, I need to have that pen and paper I need to be writing that down. How can I amalgamate all of that together to become one amazing hybrid to bring my routine?    Dapper  Communication.  This was a major battle of mine when I didn't know that I was depressed, and I wouldn't talk and I would just keep things in, but not knowing I was keeping things in, and then all of a sudden, I would be that asshole and blow up, communicating is such a huge factor. Because once you tell somebody how you feel or what's going on. They're not going to assume anything    Dad Tip Of The Day  “Consider mistakes nothing more than detours on the way to success. Learn from them and go on”

 A Special Father's Day with My Girls - An OBVIOU5 Voice – Episode 42  Sunday Funday  Tool Shed Brewery – Calgary Alberta   Many great beers with better stories behind each label.  Tool Shed Brewery  @ToolShedBeer (Twitter)  @ToolShedBeer  (IG)    Parenting  Just make sure that every decision that you're thinking about doesn't revolve around your child, but you're always thinking about how it will impact them.    Mental Health  Slow Down.  “I took that out of my life because I've been juggling school and work and figuring out my insurance on my car and this the last week of school so there are obviously tests and essays that have to be studied for and I didn't take the time to. I didn't slow down for myself because I was going to school early morning and then I was working right after school and then I got home at midnight and then I didn't have time to study for my test, which was a poor thing on my part. So, and then definitely I just I felt like I didn't have time and everything my family I never see my friends I've didn't slow down.” - Jade  Dapper  Being dapper is a way of life, as we've talked about in the past, it's not just the clothes you wear, but how you act, internally, and outside. As a person in front of people. And when people aren't looking. It's being classy and being a gentleman, holding doors being polite. It's also dressing clean dressing sharp and dressing that makes you feel good. All of these things are the dapper lifestyle. So, the first thing we're going to talk about is putting your child first  Dad Tip Of The Day  “A father doesn't tell you that he loves you. He shows you”

Big Rock, Monkeys First Car, Phase 2 DBAD - An OBVIOU5 Voice – Episode 41  @CaptainOBVIOU5  Sunday Funday:  Big Rock Brewery  @BigRockBrewery   (Twitter)  @BigRockBrewery   (Instagram)  So today, we're talking about big rock. Big Rock is the big, big rock that has been around since 1984. Here's the deal. Craft brewing craft breweries and craft beer, have taken a huge uprising in the last decade or so. Big Rock has been around since 1984 I want you to wrap your head around that for a second. So, basically, if you were around any restaurants or any pubs. During the 90s, you would see big rock grasshopper or big rock traditional ale.  Parenting:  Last August, I've driven them everywhere, and thank goodness I have the pumpkin I can still drive to volleyball and wherever she wants to go. However, the monkey now is at that age where she's extremely independent she's got her friends she wants to go to the mall, she has to go to work. She has school. And I have to just hand over the keys and say, okay. I trust you on that road. And yes, I do trust her. However, I don't trust the ass clowns that are on the road as well, and that's more stressful than anything else  Mental Health:  Today we're going to be talking about phase two. So, Alberta opens up these two people are allowed to go to restaurants, inside, people are allowed to go to all of their workout facilities inside, people are allowed to go to movies, inside. Oh my gosh, when's the last time that you went and saw a movie, inside the theatre. That's next level, right. I recently rented a movie with my pumpkin. It was $35 to rent a new movie, going to the theatre sure that tickets may cost you 15 bucks a pop. And then popcorn, and then pop, and then yada yada yada.  Dapper:  I want to talk about being dapper. Don't be a dick. As a person going into a restaurant or a store or any place whatsoever. Talking about mental health, we talked about the people that are working there that haven't dealt with people in a very long time. Well, guess what, you're part of the problem. So, a lot of the people out there especially we put alcohol into their system, become more of a dick than ever. So what I want you guys to remember is the fact that yes, we are in phase two, but it's only phase two. Even though you're drinking alcohol. I want you to make sure that you're taking care of yourself. Get home safe. Take care of the service staff because they're baby-stepping their way into service again and take care of the people around you.  Dad Tip of The Day:  “Fail, Learn, Grow”

Pride Month Splashes Its Colours Throughout the Topics - An OBVIOU5 Voice - Episode 40  @CaptainOBVIOU5  After the last episode, I had such great reviews with my little guest that I decided what a great Sunday it would be if we could have her back for episode number 40, Jordyn, say hi to the people. “Hi, I'm glad to be back.”  This month is Pride Month so we're going to be talking about that going forward when we get into the topics: parenting, mental health, and being dapper.  #SundayFunday  Forbidden Spirits Distillery  @forbidden_spirits  Forbidden Spirits Distilleries in Kelowna has their own orchard which they use their apples right from that orchard, and they produce their gin, they produce their vodka, their whiskey, and their brandy out of these apples. It's very cool.   The centre is such a beautiful venue in itself, it's set up to host weddings and any kind of events that you want to host there.  Reach out to them if you're in Kelowna if you're visiting the Okanagan, make sure to stop by their tasting room then you can go home with your own bottle.  Parenting:  “Being that it is Pride Month, what are some of the things that you think as parents that we should make sure we remember to do. Even if our children are part of the LGBTQ community, or if they're friends of people in the LGBTQ community, or if they're just curious and need more information about the LGBTQ community.”  “Pride Month is actually a really big thing I've learned lots about it...” “... But you shouldn't be mad at them and say that they should be straight, you should probably sit down with them and say you're an accepting parent, and you just have to understand and support, or your word. You have to support them with your love, and you want to make sure that they don't feel alone and you're with them every step of the way.”  Mental Health:  “Yeah, how do we think about mental health, with this month in Pride Month, and with the LGBT community. What's your correlation there. What do you think of that?”  “I think you should be aware of yourself and others when it comes to that kind of thing. Like, if you are straight for example, you want to be aware of somebody that could be gay and you don't want to bring up something that would hurt them.”  Dapper:  Being dapper is about living the dapper lifestyle, and when we live the dapper lifestyle, we know it's not just about the clothes we wear but it's the way that we treat other people the way that we act like human beings when no one's around or when there are people around. So, when you're out there, it's having the acceptance of the people around you, no matter what their gender what their race, what their sexual orientation, or what the religious freedoms are, this is having acceptance of everyone, and when you're dapper you live that lifestyle of acceptance.  Dad Tip of the Day:  “If you truly want to be with the person listen to your heart and not all the voices from all the people around you.”

Victoria Gin, Guests at Restaurants, Wear You, Get That Hobby - An OBVIOU5 Voice – Episode 38  Sunday Funday: Victoria Distillery Gin For more than 10 years, Victoria Distillers has been producing some of Canada’s finest handmade spirits. Our unique waterfront location in Sidney, British Columbia, houses the copper pot stills that produce our range of spirits. – most notably, our award-winning gins. Parenting: My oldest is in the service industry, the one thing that gets to me is the way patrons interact with her.  Creepy duchy, rude and inconsiderate.  There is nothing I can do but talk with her and tell her people are there if she has any problems. Mental Health: Find your thing… Mental health is being locked into your head, find the thing that you can do to express yourself and get through the hard days Dapper: Dapper in the summer, business attire, backyard bbq.  Classy and comfortable.  Do what feels good to you.  Don’t let others determine what you should or should not wear   Dad Tip Of The Day:   “Life is a journey, not a race.”   @VicDistillers  @CaptainOBVIOU5 

Victoria Gin, Guests at Restaurants, Wear You, Get That Hobby - An OBVIOU5 Voice – Episode 38 

Mother's Day, Nation Beer & Dog Island Brewery, Calling out Men – An OBVIOU5 Voice Episode 37 Sunday Funday:  Sunday Funday where we are going to be talking about all of the drinks, whether they be beer, wine, or liquor that has been brewed or distilled in Western Canada.  This one here is from the Nation Network along with Dog Island Brewing and is brewed in Slave Lake.   This is a Kolsch beer, it's a very light beer and it's very crushable. It has a lot of citrus aromas to it, and the taste is quite enjoyable especially good if you're sitting on a patio on a hot day, and the Oilers are playing.  This is Oilers branded, we have our colours, on the side “Mission 2021” for the playoffs that we'll be running into. So right here, this embodies everything that an oiler fan should be drinking, as we go into the playoffs coming up.  So, this first sip I'm going to send out to Connor McDavid hitting 100 points in 53 games. I'm going to send this out to Leon Draisaitl for getting his 500th point, and also Adam Larson playing his 600th game. Cheers, gentlemen.    Parenting:  We're going to talk about Mother's Day today, and is huge on so many different levels especially in lockdown right now we're not able to go and hug our moms. Mom, I love you. Thank you very much. I want to talk about all of the mothers out there, and I wanted to say thank you to you, I'm taking this platform today to thank my mother to thank all of the women out there that have helped me become the person that I am today. And then helped me become the father I am today because, without those women, I wouldn't be able to be the father, and parent to my beautiful girls that I am right now.  So, everything that I am comes from that. My mother, my sister, my princess.  My ex-wife, my mother-in-law, coworkers that I've worked with friends that I've met, all of the mothers, all of the females out there, have helped mold me helped me get through tough times, helped me become the man I am today, and helped me evolve even through my 40s to where I want to be in the future.  Thank you.    Mental Health:  We're going to talk about getting healthy.  Because getting healthy is key to our mental health, and getting healthy starts small, I don't want you to try and have some kind of huge goal that you're looking for unless it's a long-term goal because way too many of us are taking these big goals, failing and never going back, start off small. Celebrate your small victories, because these victories are the ones that going to make you want to come back. These victories are the ones that are going to tell your friends, your family, and your loved ones about.  These victories are the ones that you're going to think about and hold on to when you wake up the next morning and you get back into the gym, or you go back on that run.    Dapper:  Today we are talking dapper in a different kind of sense. The reason why I want to bring this up is where we talk about who we are as human beings and how we interact with the community and with people out there, honesty, integrity, and chivalry is three main concepts when you talk about being dapper. I'm bringing this up is because of the story that came to light about Jake Virtanen from the Vancouver Canucks.  I read this story, and it was difficult to read through. It was something that really hit home on so many different levels being an ex-athlete ex-hockey player, knowing that community and that brotherhood. Being a father now with two young daughters, working in the service industry with so many females that are involved. I feel as though I take on a parenting aspect in their lives as well.  Men, we need to step up, we need to be better, we need to speak up if we hear some colleagues or friends or people that we know that are degrading women in any kind of sense, or telling stories of something that you just feel isn't right, it's time for us to step up and say something. There's no need to just be silent during those times.    Dad Tip of the Day:  “If you are a mom. You are a superhero, period.”    An OBVIOU5 World  @CaptainOBVIOU5  Oilers Nation  @OilersNation  Dog Island Brewing  @DogIslandBeer

 50th Parallel, Embrace Change, Community, Wardrobe Update - An OBVIOU5 Voice – Episode 35    Wet Your Whistle Wednesday  50th Parallel Estates, this is the Pinot Noir from 2018.   An excellent wine, 50th  Parallel Estates which is in North Okanagan, about 15 minutes from the Kelowna airport and just about 15 minutes south of Vernon, and it's located right on the east side of the Okanagan Lake.  The owners, Sherry Lee and Curtis, are always seen around Kelowna restaurants enjoying the city.   This winery was actually started in 2009 when they planted their first 10 acres of vines. After that, in 2011, was when they bottled their first vintage.   This is an amazing estate and winery to go and check out, please put this on your list. If you are going out and doing wine tours in and around that area, there are also Gray Monk Estates, Arrow Leaf Cellars, and Intrigued Wines.     Parenting  As your children grow older and they evolve into themselves, changes are going to happen, with these changes they are going to grow into adults, but also their tastes are going to change who they are is actually going to start to mold into the person that they're becoming. When this happens, their hobbies are going to change and their passions are going to change, and the things that make them excited and happy, are going to start to develop.  You need to be willing to accept these changes that come. You don't want to squash their imagination right away because they could be developing something that could take them further on in life, their happy place as they are an adult.    Mental Health  Finishing our four-part series on body, mind, soul, and community. I really liked this concept I'm really sad that we're stuck in this COVID era where I'm not able to get out more into the community and where I'm now residing. But I want you to think about little things that you can do in your community, your local community somewhere that's right around you, or could be your community of friends online or it could be your community in the greater city that you live in because it's part of the hobbies and passions that you both share together, whether it's in the art world, or anywhere else. Little things that you can do for your community, pick yourself a garbage bag and go take a walk into a park somewhere and start picking up a little bit of the garbage that's been leftover from winter, and you can do this, literally anywhere in the world.     Dapper  My question to you; how was COVID to you?  Did you gain the 19 pounds that COVID promised to bring?  COVID-19... get it. I did, I had to go and try on a shirt, and that shirt looked way too skin-tight. So, the upsetting thing is I had to move up the size of the shirt and it wasn't because I've got guns in a big chest from working out. Oh no no no, it's because I gained a nice little belly during this last year. I also had to buy new jeans and move up a size there too. Here's the reason why I'm talking about this because your wardrobe is a very important part of living the Dapper lifestyle.  Maybe it's time to replenish that wardrobe, as one of the pillars of being dapper is style.    Dad Tip of the Day  “If you focus on what you have, you gain what you lack. If you focus on what you lack, then you lose what you have.”      @CaptainOBVIOU5  50th Parallel Estates  @50thparallelwin (Twitter)  @50thparallelwine (IG)  An OBVIOU5 World (Facebook)

Hillside Wines, The RedKit, Meditation, Exploring Stoicism- An OBVIOU5 Voice - Episode 34    Today I talk about single fathers and what to do with your daughters in preparedness; in mental health, we're going to talk about our soul section of our four-part, body, mind, soul, and community series; in the dapper section we are going to talk about stoicism and where to begin being stoic, and then, of course, the Dad Tip of the Day and Hillside Wines is in the Wet Your Whistle Wednesday portion.    Wet Your Whistle Wednesday  Hillside Winery is located in the southeast of Okanagan Lake, on the Naramata Bench. Naramata is a little town just northeast of Penticton up along the east side of Okanagan Lake. It's a cute little town, that hosts 40 wineries. If you have the opportunity to go with any friends or family or you're going on a bridal party or any kind of that celebration, do yourself a favour, rent a bus, get on a wine tour, and have them take you up the Naramata Bench, you can do tastings throughout all of these different wineries.     Parenting  I want to talk to single fathers out there, I've been through this, and now I'm getting ready for my second wave. I want to talk to you about being prepared for your daughters and being present, being there for them, mentally, emotionally, and physically. This is an extremely important time in their development and in their lives and having their father's presence at all times is going to be a big deal moving forward for them in their lives and in their future. So, we are going to go over the Preteen Emergency “Red Kit”.    Mental Health  We're in a four-part series right now, and this is part number three, today we're going to be talking about our soul, I want to really dive deep into looking within to find who we are. Sometimes we go through life, just going through the motions, we are alive, but not living. Today I talk about meditation, and the power it can have on you moving forward in life.  It's all about bettering yourself every day.    Dapper  To be dapper I've always talked about needing a level of stoicism. You need to be stoic inside in order to be dapper completely, but it's not a switch. You can't just turn the switch on and instantly become stoic. This is something that we have to work on every single day. This is something that you need to do and practice and support all the time. You need to train your mind to be calm in every single situation.    Dad Tip of the Day  “Look at other people and ask yourself if you are really seeing them or just your thoughts about them”    @CaptainOBVIOU5 (Twitter & IG)  An OBVIOU5 World (Facebook Group)  @DiscoverNaramata (IG)  @HillsideWines (Twitter)  @HillsideWinery (IG)
