  Episode 24: 30 Years in Business (1996–2026)

  Jul 31, 20261h 5m

  Thirty years. Countless lessons. In this episode, I'm joined by Jamie Doherty from SEDC for an honest conversation about my 30-year journey in business, from starting Johnny K Sports in 1996 to building For the Love of the Game® , Stay Social® , and The Great Canadian Rink Tour™ . We discuss the highs, the setbacks, the risks, and the lessons that only time can teach. From growing a small business to adapting through change, this episode is about perseverance, relationships, and continuing to learn every day. A big thank you to Jamie and the team at SEDC for the opportunity to reflect on the journey. Whether you're an entrepreneur, athlete, coach, or simply someone working toward a goal, I hope this conversation gives you a few ideas and encouragement for your own path. Thanks for listening.... Johnny K
