Building a great life full of happy energy with Stephen Morrison

It's hard to imagine that Stephen Jacob James was ever cut from a sports team. He is a young lawyer with Farris, Vaughan, Wills & Murphy LLP. Stephen has an amazing amount of energy; he's not just a busy lawyer, he's also a director with United Way of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen, a co-leader of November Project Kelowna, and he both plays and volunteers his time with Okanagan College Basketball and UBC Okanagan Heat. We talk about overcoming the rejection of getting cut from your high school team and going on to become a champion; coping with personal setbacks and depression in order to build an amazing, full and happy life. I am very jealous of Stephen's hair, which he gets done at Man Made Barber & Supply.
We now have a pair of great interns helping us with the audio. This episode was engineered by Alex Gardener, an outstanding student at Centre for Arts and Technology here in Kelowna. He is really easy to work with and the quality of his work is excellent. Please email me (Luke) if I can help get you connected with Alex.
