What happens when a community comes together to turn heartbreak into hope?

In this special episode of Sh*t My Dad Taught Me, hosts Chris Carter and Jamie Kozub lead a powerful live conversation at A Night of Hope, an event created by Julie Neal and the Levie Initiative to raise awareness and support for families facing childhood cancer.

Through deeply emotional stories and honest discussions, six remarkable guests share their experiences with pediatric cancer, grief, resilience, family support, and the importance of finding hope during life's most difficult moments.

Jennifer Andaloro honours the legacy of her daughter Charlotte and the impact of Charlotte's Smiles 4 Kids Project. Sixteen-year-old Emmett Ouellette discusses his battle with leukemia and his mission to support other teenagers through ABSURD, while his stepfather James Neal shares the realities of navigating childhood cancer as a parent.

Susan Kuczynski of OPACC, Dr. Gregorio Zúñiga-Villanueva of McMaster Children's Hospital, and Danielle Zucchet of Kemp Care Network bring important perspectives on family advocacy, pediatric palliative care, and the future of children's hospice care through Keaton's House.

Together, they explore the importance of seeing children beyond their diagnoses, supporting entire families through treatment, and creating meaningful change through compassion and community.

A Night of Hope was held in support of Ontario Parents Advocating for Children with Cancer (OPACC) and Keaton's House – Paul Paletta Children's Hospice.

This is more than a conversation about childhood cancer. It's about courage, love, community, and the extraordinary difference that people can make when they come together.

Listen, reflect, and share this episode to help these important stories reach beyond the room.

In this episode of Shit My Dad Taught Me, we sit down with Canadian broadcaster, author and radio personality Roz Weston for a conversation about media, fatherhood, grief, family, friendship and finding meaning outside of your career.

Roz reflects on his journey from growing up in a small town and landing an early opportunity with The Howard Stern Show to building a decades long career in Canadian entertainment, including ET Canada and The Roz & Mocha Show. He shares what he's learned from interviewing some of the biggest names in entertainment, his relationship with Mocha and how the media industry changed with the rise of social media.

He also opens up about his father's journey to sobriety, losing his dad, processing grief while writing his memoir and how those lessons now influence the father he is to his daughter, Roxy. Roz also shares his perspective on raising a teenager around social media, dealing with online criticism and why the things you love most in life don't necessarily need to be your job.

It's a funny, personal and thoughtful conversation about reinvention, loss, fatherhood, career longevity and building a life that means more than what you do for work.

In this episode of Shit My Dad Taught Me, we sit down with entrepreneur, media founder and commentator Jonathan Harvey to talk about failure, resilience, business, fatherhood and what success actually means.

Jonathan shares his journey from dropping out of college and failing at businesses in his twenties to building companies across restaurants, construction, media and technology. He talks about learning through failure, staying focused as an entrepreneur, “burning the boats” and why knowing your definition of success matters before you spend your life chasing it.

He also opens up about his more than 20 year relationship with his wife Megan, raising their son Jackson, preparing for their second child and their upcoming move from Canada to Texas. Becoming a father has changed Jonathan's perspective on ambition, time and legacy, with his biggest goals now extending far beyond business.

It's a conversation about building companies, raising resilient kids, surrounding your family with the right people and creating a life where success gives you more of what matters most: time.
