So, who better for me to begin with than my business partner and dear friend Alan Frew?

Alan is a Canadian music icon, with 5 Juno Awards, 5 Canadian Classic Awards and a Grammy nomination.  He is a public speaker, corporate team builder and he and I have co-authored a book called "The Action Sandwich" http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/The-Action-Sandwich-Alan-G-Frew/9780973686395-item.html?cookieCheck=1

In addition to that he is one of the kindest people I know and gives his time, music and amazing hugs tirelessly to those in need.  His work with Breast Cancer Research and Military Families is exemplary, and to add to it all, he tells a joke better than anyone I know.  For those who are not from Canada and may not be familiar with Alan, here is a link to his website: http://www.alanfrew.com and this is a link to a song he co-wrote for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNA6xsTYcfA where he had the opportunity to inspire us all to "Believe". I am grateful to Alan for being part of our new "Ten Questions".

1. What is on your mind lately? Been troubled with several negative issues that I must shake off.

2. What is the kindest thing you have ever known someone to do? Those who give their life up for the good of another 

3. When was the last time you felt inspired? When a young man came to say hello at a show standing on two artificial legs as his own were blown off in Afghanistan. He never complained about nor regretted his actions. I was also inspired just being in Washington. What an historic city of political passion and endeavor 

4. What are you sure of? My ability to take this world on head to head. No matter. 

5. What do you love about people? The people I like are kind. So kindness is my answer.

6. What gives you butterflies in your tummy? Pre-performance 

7. How do you combat stress? I don't combat it, I integrate it.

8. What do you value most in people? Loyalty and kindness

9. What is the best advice you ever received? "In the end, all that truly matters in this world, in this life, is love”

10. Is there anything else you would like to share? I feel there is no greater "connector" than a song
