Frame of Reference - Profiles in Leadership

Coming up on Frame of Reference:

Dec 5th, 2025 - Canadian Snipers, Hard Choices, Honest War Stories - A rifle on a rooftop isn’t a movie moment—it’s a profound responsibility. We sit with retired Canadian Army sniper Barry Nisbet and author and former U.S. Army Ranger Mir Bahmanyar to unpack what snipers really do when deployed to places like Bosnia and Afghanistan and why their new book, Send It, pushes past the myths of their missions and duties.
Dec 19th, 2025 - Trust, Community, And A $25,000 Promise - A massive heart attack at 2 a.m., a choice to stay, and a vow to be useful—John Stewart Hill turned a brush with death into a movement that protects homeowners and celebrates great tradespeople. I sat down with John, founder and chief ambassador of The Good Contractors List, to unpack how a third-party guarantee and serious vetting can transform an anxious, two-way agreement into a safer, more respectful partnership.
Dec 24th, 2025 - CHRISTMAS EVE SPECIAL!!! - For YEARS I have wanted to do a Christmas Eve Podcast and this year I'm doing it!! So if you're looking for a new tradition that you can play in the background while you sit down to eat or open presents, this is the place. I'll be playing my favorite contemporary versions of classics like Frosty the Snowman, Joy to the Word and Oh Come all Ye Faithful, plus some songs you've perhaps never heard about, but are good tunes with great lyrics. I'll be filling you in on some of the stories behind the songs and their artists as well, so . . . join us!
