  • Darryl Silverstein
    Dec 24 2025

    Rob Daniels reconnects with longtime friend Darryl Silverstein, whose life story is a powerful example of resilience, perspective, and awareness. Growing up playing baseball together, Rob witnessed Darryl refuse to let being blind in one eye define or limit him. Years later, Darryl faced an even greater challenge when he was diagnosed with brain cancer in his 40s.

    Through every setback, Darryl continued to move forward with strength, gratitude, and an unwavering commitment to becoming the best version of himself. In this episode, Rob and Darryl reflect on childhood memories, speak openly about the realities of his treatment journey, and explore the mindset that helped him remain grounded and hopeful during the most difficult moments of his life.

    This conversation is honest, deeply inspiring, and a reminder of the unseen battles so many people carry.

  • Andrew, a medically retired municipal police sergeant and Canadian Armed Forces Captain
    Dec 18 2025

    In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Andrew, a medically retired municipal police sergeant and Canadian Armed Forces Captain, to explore life after service, mental health injury, and the search for purpose beyond the uniform.

    After sustaining physical and psychological injuries in the line of duty, Andrew began using a service dog for PTSD in 2017, becoming one of the first in Ontario, and possibly Canada, to do so. Alongside his service dog, Riggs, he helped challenge stigma around mental health while instructing at the Ontario Police College.

    We discuss the hidden impact of service, the culture of policing and soldiering, the struggle with identity after medical retirement, the need for better legislation for service dog handlers in Canada, and how advocacy and community can lead to healing.

    A moving and honest conversation about resilience, dignity, and continuing to serve in new ways.
