Current Episode

"Trust, Betrayal, and Paycheques"In this episode of In The Blood, Jason and AC take on a listener-inspired question that cuts straight to the heart of workplace dynamics: What happens when personal trust and professional stakes collide?We often hear about the value of workplace friendships — the support, the camaraderie, the sense of belonging. But what happens when that trust starts to crack? When something said in confidence becomes part of the office rumour mill? When a moment of anger is misunderstood — or weaponized?Jason and AC explore how easy it is to cross a line without meaning to, and how hard it is to undo the damage once it's done. They discuss the emotional weight of being someone’s sounding board, and the risks of feeling responsible for another person’s outburst. They also share their own experiences navigating honesty, loyalty, and personal integrity in work-related friendships.This is not a how-to guide. It’s an honest, open conversation about the grey areas that don’t have simple answers — and about what it means to show up for someone without losing yourself in the process.🎧 Listen now and join the conversation!

Current Episode

The Vote Is The FightIn this episode, Tony speaks to every Canadian who’s tempted to sit this election out, convinced that protest, resistance, or performative outrage will somehow be enough. Looking at what’s unfolded south of the border, this episode is a wake-up call. The rise of authoritarianism didn’t come from a coup—it came from ballots cast by people who showed up while others stayed home or “voted their conscience.”This episode is not about partisanship. It’s about power. Real, consequential, everyday power—wielded by ordinary citizens through a vote. The resistance may have good intentions, but intention without action is hollow.Tony doesn’t just reflect on the American experience—he warns Canadians not to fall into the same trap. We’re not immune to backsliding into systems that serve the few and silence the rest. Democracy doesn’t erode overnight. It erodes one apathetic vote at a time.🎧 Listen now.Episode is available on major platforms or by clicking here
