A Little Help From Google

For those of you who follow me on social media, you’ll have seen that I’m practically in Toronto on a weekly basis lately. Especially leading into the holiday season, there are so many amazing brand, people and events that have hired or asked me to be in person after years of virtual get togethers, so who am I to say no!

I’ve witnessed a lot of beautiful moments over my career with brands giving back to the communities that support them. Since the pandemic, I’ve been a huge proponent for support local and helping to amplify small businesses. That’s why I have yet again been so moved and inspired by Google Canada this year and their recent #ALittleHelpFromGoogle event in The Distillery District before the iconic Distillery Winter Village Christmas market kicked off.

Finding That Middle Ground

It seems like we haven’t sat down together in a long time. Like many of you I have been busy enjoying life and the travel opportunities that have presented themselves to me over the last few months. I am often jet setting from one destination to the next in break neck speed that I forget to stop and really appreciate the moment. In life I find things can get like that pretty easily if you don’t remind yourself that it’s more about the journey than the destination. Thankfully, recently I was able to find that literal and proverbial middle ground with Julio & Rebecca in Kingston.
