Join us for a coffee and chat with Chef Adam Brack, Executive Chef at the DoubleTree and Home2 Suites by Hilton West Edmonton!

Originally from Peterborough, Ontario, Adam initially expected to follow in his father's footsteps into the trades, but his natural affinity for working with his hands eventually found a different outlet. His lifelong love of food was rooted in simple traditions, like the fish and chips he enjoyed every Friday growing up, but it wasn't until a high school Home Economics elective that he truly fell in love with the craft. To this day, Adam still keeps the first recipe he ever wrote framed in his home as a reminder of where it all began.

Adam honed his skills at the prestigious Stratford Chefs School, where he went through a rigorous hands-on program. His first year was spent learning every facet of the industry, from washing dishes and prep work to acting as a sommelier while cooking for the school's restaurant. By his second year, the program transitioned into a residency format where students acted as chefs in residence. This allowed them the opportunity to take the lead in the kitchen, giving them the creative freedom to design their own menus and significantly expand their professional cooking abilities.

While Adam originally intended to avoid large chain restaurants, a unique opportunity at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge changed his perspective. Having never been to Alberta before, he spent three months working at JPL between his school years and immediately returned to the Rockies upon graduation. Since then, Adam has worked at various renowned kitchens throughout Alberta, leading him to his current role at the DoubleTree.

His story is one of craftsmanship and passion, and after hearing it, you will definitely want to stop by for a meal.

Join us for a coffee and chat with Doug Lang as he shares a life story that feels like it belongs on the silver screen. Originally from Winnipeg, Doug bypassed a career in his father’s insurance firm to pursue his own passions, first earning a pilot’s license in Vancouver before finding his true calling in policing at age 24. His diverse career on the force spanned from the motor core and detective division to serving as the department’s media spokesperson and working in the vice department, where he spent months filming a documentary on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

Beyond the badge, Doug’s personal life is defined by a cinematic romance with his wife, Georgialee. After meeting at an Italian restaurant and sharing a legendary first date night-skiing, the two lost touch for several years. Their paths eventually crossed again through some intentional police work; having kept tabs on her, Doug pulled Georgialee over on purpose while she was driving to go skiing to reignite their connection.

The couple also had to navigate a unique professional overlap early in their marriage, as Doug was arresting individuals while Georgialee was working to get them out of jail. This led to a career transition for Georgialee into family law, while Doug has spent his retirement fueling his lifelong love for machinery by collecting cars and motorcycles.

This episode offers a fascinating look at the complexities of police life, the power of a second-chance romance, and the importance of following your own path. To hear the other side of this incredible tale, be sure to listen to Georgialee’s episode for the full story of how they found their way back to one another.

Join us for a coffee and chat with Terry Evans, Local Broadcasting Legend!

Terry Evans' career started in BC at the age of 15, working the 6–11 PM night shift at a local station. While attending the Radio Arts program in Lethbridge, his talent was so immediate that he was hired by a local station just three weeks into his first semester—eventually leaving school to pursue radio full-time.

In 1986, Terry arrived in Edmonton and joined K-97, beginning a legendary 40-year tenure that started with the "graveyard shift" from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM. Throughout his career, Terry has seen it all—from the evolution of the station's locations to interviewing rock royalty like Eddie Van Halen and David Bowie.

Terry’s impact extends far beyond the airwaves. When changes in liquor laws threatened to bar underage musicians from performing in venues, Terry stepped up. He was a key figure in the effort to change those rulings, ensuring young artists could get the live exposure they needed to grow. As a father of a musician and a firm believer in the power of school band programs, Terry continues to advocate for the next generation of talent.

Though he "retired" from radio, Terry is busier than ever. He has traded the broadcast tower for the podcast studio, launching several successful series covering everything from music and whiskey to travel and investment. Whether he’s Emceeing a major event or producing high-fidelity voiceovers, Terry remains a vital voice in the community.

Don’t miss this story of resilience, rock & roll, and a lifelong commitment to the spotlight.
