Leslie Bradford-Scott grew up inside a story so spectacular it felt unreal. Her father drove a Rolls-Royce. A promoter, he brought Pink Floyd and Paul Anka to Hamilton, moved through a world of million-dollar diamonds, and lit up every room he entered.

Then the story cracked.

At twelve, Leslie came home to the police on the lawn. At fifteen, she had a gun pressed against her arm. At sixteen, she lost her brother, the one person who made her feel less alone.

Trying to outrun her father's shadow, Leslie joined the Coast Guard to save lives and fight crime, only to find corruption there, too. Later, she married a man who felt familiar in the worst possible way: charming, dangerous, and destructive.

But Leslie kept moving. She wrote screenplays on Post-it notes while selling cars, built a business from a farm, and reinvented herself again and again.

Years after his death, her father's 175,000-word prison manuscript surfaced, reopening everything she thought she had buried.

Was he a villain, a victim, a con man, a hero, or all of the above?

This is a gripping conversation about crime, family myth, buried truth, and what happens when the story that shaped you collapses. Leslie's lesson is unforgettable: where you are born, and whom you are born to, may shape you, but they do not get to define you.

As she says, "My entire life, I didn't feel I mattered. And now I know that I matter."

And then please stick around for an important announcement about Chatter that Matters.

Some episodes entertain. Some inspire. And some remind us what it means to be human.

This is one of those episodes.

Bailey Gee was born with the most severe form of spina bifida. Her life became a cycle of surgeries, pain, bullying, isolation, a wheelchair, and battles with mental health that often left her wondering if life was worth fighting for. Every day she prayed to be happy.

Then one day, happiness found her.

A random YouTube search introduced Bailey to Cesar De La Rosa, whose music and stage presence became an unexpected light during one of the darkest periods of her life. What started as fandom became friendship, healing, and hope.

In this deeply emotional episode, Bailey shares her journey through disability, loneliness, and resilience. Cesar reflects on the responsibility artists carry when their work touches lives in ways they never imagined. The conversation also features Paralympian Joel Dembe, who challenges us to rethink disability, accessibility, and what it truly means to be seen.

And thanks to RBC Avion, Cesar will meet Bailey for the first time. This is a story about pain, music, humanity, and the unexpected angels who help us find the light.

Step inside the recording studio to understand more about one of the greatest voices of our time, Celine Dion. My guest is Vito Luprano, the Sony Music executive and creative force who worked on 21 of Celine's albums and helped shape her rise from a shy francophone teenager into an international superstar.

Vito found the songs. Fought for the sound. Pushed for the reinvention. And helped Celine move from French-language success to global domination.

He shares some of Celine's iconic moments, from "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" to "I Drove All Night," "Taking Chances," "Alone," and the unforgettable story behind "My Heart Will Go On."

This is a rare look behind the curtain at one of the world's greatest stars, her journey to the top, her songs, the tension, and her heartbreak when she lost Rene, the love of her life.
