Q & A with Tyler Chisholm Why is it important to knowledge share with the community/various eco systems?

Everything in life happens based on relationship and the best way to foster new relationships is to become truly interested in what other people are doing. By sharing knowledge, we all get the chance to take part in the change that it can create.

How did you get into podcasts?

I was looking for a medium that worked for me to connect with my community. Though the process I fell in love with meeting people and telling their stories while supporting a positive yet realistic view of everything that was happening in Western Canada.

For Collisions YYC, this is based partially on the large variety if changes and shifts happening in our province and wanting to ensure people were "colliding" with the truly amazing people leading these changes. The other half is my obsession with learning about new things and allowing my curiosity to run wild! haha. My second podcast, They Just Get It, which is where I had started has evolved into a platform where aside from quenching my thirst for curiosity, I embrace people and ideas on the path less travelled. From plant medicine to grass few beef farmers to a cool entrepreneurial couple who have made life work while also building their own business.

What is a collision within the business industry?

Truly fall in love with your customers problem and not just your belief of their problem. Secondly, build your network every chance you get and do not be scared to collaborate and partner with anyone who can help, trust me, they are everywhere and ready to help, all you have to do is ask.

What does community mean? And how can we be better?

Be willing to help and be willing to accept help. Fostering abundance versus scarcity in aspects of life, for when we truly support each other socially, professionally and emotionally we raise everyone up together.

A collision in business is when two ideas / people become aware of each other in a deep and meaningful way that impacts the outcome for both parties.
