I could have an entire season of this podcast with Oliviers...

Olivier Day is a close friend but more importantly a mentor. This podcast, Teach Reach, would not have been possible without his unconditional support, guidance, and generosity.

Olivier is an avid photographer, a captivating storyteller, an amazing father, a supportive husband, a passionate mental health advocate, and a professional podcaster. Really, a true renaissance man!

There is a truth circulating in the podcast world, from Chris Williamson, that goes as follow:

"90% of podcasts launched don't make it past episode 3; of the 10% that make it past episode 3, 90% don't make it past episode 20. So simply by producing 21 podcasts, you're in the top percentile of all podcasters ever."

Well, Olivier’s podcast, Awaken the Awesome, is at episode 156. You can understand why I need to have a brother like him on my podcast journey.

Not only in the sheer number but also when it comes to topics that he covers on his podcast, Olivier is a fountain of wisdom.

During this episode he geeks with our producer, Ian Lamb, offers his kind view on what it means to be vulnerable, to be available for your family, his view on fatherhood, and how to tell yourself the truth, to unlock your awesomeness. Olivier invites us to do better, everyday. Also, as Haitians, it was inevitable not to talk about Haiti and touch on how we process events related to our motherland.

It was a delightful conversation and an absolute honour to have such a good dude on the show.

You can listen to Olivier's podcast, Awaken the Awesome, on Apple Podcasts, Google, and Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.
