Brad,

Wanted to say thank you for the time on your show!

I love Canada and Canadians! I appreciate your zest for life and the outdoors.

It was a great opportunity to share my experience in the Marathon Des Sables with you and your listeners…

I thought you guys might enjoy a Charity that we’ve started for kids called GECKO (Giving Every Child Knowledge of the Outdoors) www.joingecko.com

Think that Conrad Black was successful?  Think he was bad?  In this interview with David Richards Adams, the award winning Canadian author and biographer who grew up just blocks from Beaverbrook's childhood home, Brad finds out what success looked like at the turn of the century.  Turns out, not a whole lot different than it does now, including the scandal and betrayal.  Even so, none of that takes away from the larger than life character that Lord Beaverbrook became.  More importantly, it shows the type of man that it took to shape Canada into what it's become today.
