Hello, world, welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.

I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every Monday and Wednesday, I interview someone from around the world who's discovered their talents to do work they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

On Fridays, I interview an individual with many years of experience from one of the top-ranked occupations or professions who share an insider's look at what it's really like to do what they do.

I'd say it's seeing people succeed, to see our team do the best work, to now, in my role,

Don, it's the most rewarding role ever to be in a coaching and mentorship role now

and to celebrate others' success.

You know, it's one thing to be in the room and doing it, and that was exciting,

but it's actually even more rewarding and exciting to see the team succeed.

I'd say that for sure. Today I'm delighted to bring you

our featured guest Tom Shippansky and our topic, A Day in the Life. What's it really like to

be an advertising executive? Welcome, Tom. Delighted to be here. Thank you, sir. Tom, are you using

your talents doing work that you love?

I sure am.

A few words about Tom.

Tom Shepansky is one of the three founders of Rethink, a creative agency in Canada.

Rethink has just celebrated its 20th anniversary and was named Agency of the Year.

Tom is transitioning to a governance role with the company, allowing the business to remain independent. He's also active in

the community on two non-profit boards. He loves cycling, hiking, and skiing, and has recently

taken up bass guitar. He plays in a band called Never Too Late.

Tom lives with his wife, Roxanne, on the north shore of Vancouver.

Well, as I explained in the introduction, Tom, this show is all about helping listeners get a close and personal look at the highest-rated occupations and professions in the country.
