This may not be “appropriate” to share from a business page since it’s so deeply personal for me. It’s certainly not a typical business post. But since most of my clients have been part of my life for many years and through many seasons, you likely either walked with me through this experience when it happened, or heard about Talia’s impact on my life through one of our many conversations. An old friend who was a very successful businessman once told me “clients make better friends than friends make clients”. I don’t know about the latter part, but I can say, gratefully, that many clients have become friends. And for those that saw my heart breaking or offered understanding when I would randomly cry in a meeting, for all the messages and support over these years, I truly can’t thank you enough.
I am sharing this long winded note here to also thank my team. It was just me and Steven when this tragedy happened. He couldn’t have been more supportive. And as each new team member joined they all got to hear about Talia. So this video was a labour of love from all of us. And to Charles who edited this and had to hear the stories over and over, I recognize that was hard to do. And I’m grateful to the whole team to put heart and tears into helping to spread this important message and to honor Talia.

This video speaks to the impact of making the decision to drink and drive, and the many victims affected by that act. Talia's life matters.
