In this week's episode of the Return On Life Podcast, host Randy Dyck invites listeners to embark on a journey with Tom Rossiter, the President & CEO of RESAAS, as they explore the fascinating story behind the evolution of this globally recognized brand.
The episode kicks off with a pivotal moment in Tom's life - a life-altering vacation in Whistler, Canada, where he found himself captivated by the idea of turning every day into a vacation. Inspired by this revelation, Tom made the bold decision to uproot his life in the UK and relocate to Vancouver in pursuit of this dream back in 2007.
Initially arriving with just a suitcase, a snowboard, and a laptop, Tom's journey led him to establish a West Coast office for a design agency. Despite having spare time due to the limited workload, Tom and his team ventured into side projects, one of which sparked the inception of RESAAS.
Tom delves into the genesis of RESAAS, recounting how they recognized the social nature of realtors and identified a gap in the market for a platform that could seamlessly connect professionals across different brokerages. Starting as a rudimentary concept within their agency, RESAAS has since transformed into a publicly traded company and a prominent force in the real estate networking sphere.
Throughout the conversation, Tom shares insights into the platform's humble beginnings and its journey towards becoming a sophisticated yet user-friendly tool for real estate professionals worldwide. From its inception as a basic platform to its current status as a global brand, RESAAS stands as a testament to the power of vision, innovation, and the pursuit of transforming ideas into reality.

#ROL #Returnonlife
In the latest episode of the Return On Life Podcast hosted by Randy Dyck, listeners are treated to an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation with the incredible Toni Sing. In this episode, Toni shares her personal journey and insights, touching on various aspects of her life, from career choices to faith, motherhood, and personal growth.
Toni's story begins in a clinical psychology research lab, where she was completing her hours and managing part of the lab. However, it became clear to her that her true passion lay in the world of business, not psychology. This realization prompted her to take a bold step and pursue her real estate license. 
The episode takes a dramatic turn as Toni recounts a dark period in her life. In 2015, she was relentlessly working in the real estate industry, even scheduling listing appointments and door-knocking right up to the day she gave birth to her son. Her labor took a difficult turn, resulting in a C-section and an infection that took a toll on her health. For the first two years after her son's birth, she juggled sleepless nights with client meetings, feeling torn between her work and motherhood. This unsustainable lifestyle took a severe toll on Toni's health. Her body began to show signs of exhaustion, with her hair falling out and her skin turning grey. It reached a point where she needed intensive IV therapy six days a week, rendering her unable to care for her son at times. A desperate moment came when, during a drive, she uttered the words, "Can you please help me?" – a plea to an unknown entity, as she had grown up as an atheist. Soon after, Toni started prioritizing her health and learned to say no to certain clients.
Toni's journey of recovery lasted nearly a year, with one relapse. Through this experience, she gained a profound understanding of the importance of listening to her body and recognizing signs of distress. She now ensures that her actions are always in alignment with her well-being.
This episode is a poignant and inspiring tale of resilience, self-discovery, and the importance of prioritizing one's well-being in the face of societal pressures. Her journey serves as a powerful reminder to listen to our bodies and stay true to our paths, even in the face of adversity.

About Our Guest:
When I was born in 1985 kitesurfing was non existent. Unknown to me my home town of Worthing/West Sussex would become one of the leading kitesurfing destinations in the country.

My competitive nature drew me to the British competition scene where I began my career and never looked back. During 2009 & 2010 I realised the massive potential of the sport when achieving my lifelong pier dreams. Whilst I balance my focus between multiple roles, being the best kitesurfer I can be remains my ultimate dedication.

Theories
Dolan’s writing and speaking is based on his very own urban life philosophy, “Dolanetics: a model to more” where he asserts "our relationship to life and all our experiences of it shapes and shifts our relationship to success, achievement and more.” His theory proposes that “we were all born with a unique source of origination, a state of throwness, which we were thrown into comprised of people, environment, beliefs and conversations shaping our relationship to ourselves, others, the world and future itself” Dolan applies his thinking and philosophy largely inside the world of wealth and performance; and can be found in curricula and programming titled The Sport of Money, The Great Financial Life, Think Legacy and Richer.
Performance Advisory
Dolan is the only Canadian to have been gifted three NBA Championship rings. Dolan was gifted two rings in the Miami Heat’s back-to-back wins in 2012/2013 by Juwan Howard, player turn coach (**) and an additional NBA championship ring gifted to Dolan by Mike Mancias, Chief Performance Advisor to Lebron James in the Los Angeles Lakers win of 2020 (**).

Notable Quotes:
“I was taught from a really early age that whats really important is being smart and having money and if I was smart and had money then i’d have respect and if I had respect then i’d have love and that's really great and that will lead you into a lot of like material success, it will lead you to a lot of higher degrees of education, it will lead you to a lot of really hard work and I hope that if that's the way that you’re living your life, if you were like me, that you never get to the end of that rainbow, because at the end of that rainbow, you’ll have everything and you’ll actually realize its still not enough. And that’ll make you ask some really hard questions” 
“Your distraction is your compensating mechanism for when you run out of energy”
