Trophy hunting is one of the most emotionally charged topics in conservation, but the reality isn’t always as simple as people think. Supporters argue that the massive fees paid by hunters fund local communities, create jobs protecting wildlife, combat poaching, and provide food for villages—ultimately helping more animals survive than would otherwise.

The question isn’t whether killing an animal is sad. The question is whether a system that generates conservation funding, protects habitats, and reduces illegal poaching can sometimes do more good than harm. It’s an uncomfortable conversation, but one worth having.

Love him or hate him, Colby Covington understood something most fighters never figure out: talent gets you noticed, but personality gets you paid. He was reportedly on the verge of being cut, then one controversial post-fight interview turned him into one of the biggest names in the sport overnight.

And whether hardcore fans like it or not, combat sports have always been part competition and part entertainment. The average fan tunes in for knockouts, blood, and chaos—not a technical breakdown of grappling exchanges. Colby figured out how to give people something to talk about, and it changed the trajectory of his entire career.

The fastest way to shut down a conversation is to label someone a “conspiracy theorist.” Instead of debating facts, we attack the person asking questions—and that should concern everyone, regardless of what side you’re on.

The truth doesn’t fear scrutiny. In an age where more information is available than ever before, the real challenge isn’t access to knowledge—it’s having the critical thinking skills to separate fact, fiction, and propaganda.

Who are we really doing it for? That’s the uncomfortable question at the center of this conversation. When emotions override difficult realities, we often focus on preserving life at all costs—but rarely stop to ask whether that life comes with dignity, quality, or a future once the parents who fought for it are gone.

It’s a brutal topic, but one worth discussing. Compassion isn’t just about keeping someone alive—it’s also about having the courage to ask what kind of life we’re asking them to live.

On his very first day at a welcome party, he spotted a stash of drugs, stole a large portion of it, and watched as the owners unknowingly came looking for more. In a bizarre twist, he sold the stolen drugs back to the same people and walked away with roughly $3,200. Looking back, the story highlights the reckless mindset and poor decisions that eventually helped lead him down a path that ended in incarceration and self-reflection. @acesmartz

Most people don’t fail because they aren’t talented. They fail because they’re terrified of failing. The people who win in business, social media, sports, and life aren’t fearless—they’ve simply learned that every mistake comes with a lesson, and every lesson makes them harder to beat the next time around. Stop waiting for guarantees. Bet on yourself, take calculated risks, and understand that growth begins the moment you’re willing to look failure in the eye and keep moving forward. @acesmartz

Canada’s MAID program has grown from a policy intended for people with grievous and irremediable medical conditions into something far broader than many imagined when it was legalized in 2016. With euthanasia now accounting for a significant percentage of deaths each year and eligibility expanding through successive legislative changes, the debate is no longer about whether MAID exists—it’s about where the line should be drawn. Regardless of where you stand, every expansion raises a difficult question: how do we balance compassion for suffering with the responsibility to protect vulnerable people? @AmandaAchtman

One of the craziest success stories you’ll ever hear started with a lie to a probation officer. Asked what he did for a living, he panicked, claimed he was a content creator, invented a username on the spot, and spent the day creating 14 posts to make the story believable. By the next morning, one post had exploded—20,000 followers and 10 million views in less than 10 hours, completely changing the trajectory of his life. @acesmartz

[BeGreatPodcast @TheBeGreatPod]

The growing demand for MAID in Canada may be telling us something deeper than a simple desire to die. It may reflect a society struggling with isolation, loss of purpose, and a growing sense of disappointment across every demographic. If that’s true, then the real conversation isn’t just about euthanasia—it’s about how we restore hope, meaning, and a reason for people to keep moving forward when life gets difficult. @AmandaAchtman

Nine months behind bars changed everything. What started with selling K2 inside jail spiraled into a battle with crippling anxiety after release—shaking, sweating, and struggling to be around people. But in the darkness, something unexpected happened: brutal self-reflection, hard truths, and the kind of personal accountability that can either break you or rebuild you. @acesmartz

Terry Fox never allowed cancer to become his identity. He became a symbol of courage, resilience, and hope—raising hundreds of millions of dollars for research that has helped save countless lives. Whether you support MAID or not, Terry’s story is a powerful reminder that a diagnosis is not the end of a person’s value, purpose, or ability to inspire others, and that hope can leave a legacy far greater than suffering ever could. @AmandaAchtman

[BeGreatPodcast @TheBeGreatPod]

Think about this for a second: in Canada, many people are paying out of pocket for therapy, counseling, and mental health support—yet MAID is fully covered by the healthcare system. Whether you support it or oppose it, that’s a conversation worth having. Before we celebrate concepts like “autonomy” and “dignity,” we should be asking harder questions about why it’s often easier to access an assisted death than the support needed to help someone keep living. @AmandaAchtman

When Robert Munsch announced he was pursuing MAID after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s and dementia, most people focused on the decision. But the deeper story is what inspired one of Canada’s most beloved authors in the first place. After losing two children to stillbirth, Munsch transformed unimaginable grief into stories that touched millions—reminding us that even the most vulnerable lives can leave an extraordinary impact on the world and the people around them. @AmandaAchtman

Jess Seiwert spent years believing PTSD was weakness — something soldiers weren’t supposed to admit out loud. But after trauma, addiction, arrests, and hitting rock bottom, he entered treatment expecting to just survive… and instead completely rebuilt his life from the inside out

People are starving for real leadership because most politicians today say absolutely nothing and stand for even less. On the Be Great Podcast, Michelle Ferrari explains why leaders who take clear positions — even controversial ones like Donald Trump — build massive followings: because people are desperate for someone willing to actually say what they believe and follow through. Canada doesn’t need more scripted talking points and political cowards… it needs leaders with conviction. @MPFerreri

Jess Seiwert went from serving his country to waking up in a Colorado Springs jail facing attempted murder, kidnapping, and felony assault charges — with absolutely no memory of what happened. Pills, addiction, betrayal, and trauma had pushed his life so far off the rails that detectives told him if his wife died in the ICU, he’d be charged with first-degree murder.
