EP#289 (355) The Spy Washington Never Named, With Dr. Randy Overbeck

Two hundred and fifty years later, we still do not know her real name. Historians call her only "355," a number buried inside the Culper Ring, George Washington's real spy network in British-occupied New York. Award-winning educator and bestselling novelist Dr. Randy Overbeck joins host and producer Dr. Tom Dutta on The Quiet Warrior Show to talk about his historical suspense novel, ABIGAIL TRENCH: A Novel of Washington's Spy Ring (Diversion Books, distributed by Simon and Schuster). Overbeck gives that unnamed woman a name, a voice, and a reason for disappearing so completely from the record. In this conversation: ✓ How three decades in education led to seven published novels and nine national awards ✓ The real historical mystery behind an unnamed woman spy lost for 250 years ✓ Why the Culper Ring's secrecy still keeps historians guessing today ✓ Historical details Randy's own research turned up that even he had never encountered "[A] rousing, top-notch tale of courage amid our nation's struggle for independence." William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling author Learn more about Randy Overbeck: www.authorrandyoverbeck.com The Quiet Warrior Show is recognized as: #2, Feedspot Top 30 Canada CEO Podcasts; Feedspot Top Canadian Leadership Podcast; Top 100 Life Stories Podcasts, worldwide (MillionPodcasts); Top 10 Pacific Northwest Leadership Podcasts (MillionPodcasts); Top 10 Canadian Leadership Podcasts (MillionPodcasts).

EP#287 From a Village With No Power to Canada's Calm: Nuttha Goutier Founder Sabai Thai Spas

Today she leads seven locations across Greater Vancouver and is opening the brand to franchise partners across Canada.

EP#284 FINAL CUT PREMIERE: Culture Fluid: How Sharon Gai Turned Not Belonging Into an AI Empire

What if everything you've been told about AI and your job is wrong? Sharon Gai sits down with host and producer Dr. Tom Dutta on The Quiet Warrior Show, and this one is going to stop you in your tracks. Sharon moved to Vancouver at age 7 from China, not speaking a word of English. She hid her dumpling lunches so the other kids wouldn't stare. She hid who she was. Then, 18 years later, she moved back to China for work, only to be told she wasn't Chinese enough. Between those two worlds she forged a philosophy she calls Culture Fluid, and a career at the cutting edge of global AI and commerce. A TEDx speaker. A Wiley author. Named Top AI Voice 2026. Sharon has advised Walmart, LVMH, Coca-Cola, and heads of state. And she's here to say what most people are afraid to: AI doesn't replace jobs. It slices off tasks. And knowing the difference is everything. In this episode you'll discover: ✓ Why being different is your biggest AI advantage, not your liability ✓ How to split your job into 'AI tasks' and 'human tasks' right now ✓ The 'Busy Bee to Beekeeper' shift that changes how leaders think about productivity ✓ What the West is still missing from China's AI playbook ✓ Why doing more with less starts with clarity, not hustle Sharon's new book HOW TO DO MORE WITH LESS (Wiley, March 2026) is out now. This is the conversation the whole world needs. www.sharongai.com #TheQuietWarriorShow #SharonGai #AILeadership #FutureOfWork #DoMoreWithLess #AILiteracy #Leadership #Podcast #Livestream #CultureFluid #Innovation #BusinessStrategy #DrTomDutta #FinalCutPremiere

EP#279 Final Cut: 17 Runs: The Unbeaten Path to Unlock Life's True Potential | Garnet Morris

What does it take for a man to outrun his own ghosts? In this episode of The Quiet Warrior Show , host Tom Dutta sits with Garnet Morris , Canadian entrepreneur, endurance athlete, and author of 17 Runs – The Unbeaten Path to Unlock Life's True Potential . On the surface, Garnet built success in the world of wealth management — a polished professional in tailored suits advising other high-achievers. But beneath that exterior lived a man shaped by deep loss and quiet battles. He lost two siblings to suicide. He once carried an extra 130 pounds and the weight of self-doubt. He admits he was hard to live with, harder to like, and for years he buried pain beneath performance. Then came the runs. Seventeen of them. Each one a ritual of reckoning. Each one a mile closer to forgiveness. Through running, Garnet began to shed not only weight, but shame, anger, and the story he'd been living under. What emerged was not perfection — but peace. This conversation goes beyond success and into the unseen terrain of grief, endurance, mental health, and leadership. It is a story of breaking, rebuilding, and learning to run toward your own truth. 🎧 This is the first-time audio release of this conversation. 📅 Podcast Premiere: Wednesday, February 11, 2026 📡 Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts , and wherever podcasts are heard . 🔔 Follow, subscribe, and share to support independent conversations that matter. #QuietWarriorShow #GarnetMorris #17Runs #MentalHealth #Resilience #Leadership #Healing #Endurance #PersonalGrowth #Authenticity #PodcastPremiere

PREMIERE: The Truth He Buried: John Krotec's Fight Back From Silence

📝 EPISODE DESCRIPTION What does it take to reclaim truth in a world built on noise? And what does it cost a man to carry stories he never asked for? In this powerful FINAL CUT episode of The Quiet Warrior Show , host Tom Dutta sits down with John Krotec — U.S. Army veteran, founder of NeoMasculinity Solutions, and author of The Sentinel Handbook — for a conversation that goes far beyond surface-level success. John's journey spans military life, high-altitude expeditions, building an eleven-million-dollar business before the internet, and surviving a traumatic brain injury that unearthed long-buried memories of physical trauma, violation, and silence. Rather than run from the truth, John chose to face it — and transform it into clarity, agency, and leadership. This episode explores identity, emotional resilience, self-leadership, and what it truly means to reclaim your story in a chaotic world. It's not about performance or polish. It's about courage, responsibility, and the quiet strength required to live in truth. This is The Quiet Warrior Show — where real conversations create real transformation. 🎙️ Now streaming across Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Google Podcasts, Stitcher , and all major podcast platforms.

EP#277 BEYOND POLITICS: Life Lessons and Stories with Former Premier Mike Harcourt

Over the span of his illustrious career, Mike began by starting the first storefront law office in Canada, and establishing the UBC law school legal advice clinic (1968-71). He then went on to serve for four terms as a Vancouver Alderman (1972-980), until he became a tremendously successful and articulate Mayor of Vancouver for three terms (1980-1986). In that position he played a prominent role in establishing Vancouver as one of the world's most livable cities through effective land use and planning. Mike then moved on to serve as the 30th Premier of British Columbia (1991-1996), where he extended the boundaries of quality of life in urban areas, with the 1995 Growth Strategy Act. In that position he played a prominent role in establishing Vancouver as one of the world's most livable cities through effective land use and planning. Mike then moved on to serve as the 30th Premier of British Columbia (1991-1996), where he extended the boundaries of quality of life in urban areas, with the 1995 Growth Strategy Act. Among his many noteworthy achievements at that time was his success in safeguarding more than 12 percent of the province's land base, establishing 500 new protected areas. After retiring from politics, Mike made headlines in 2002, when a devastating six-metre fall left him partially paralyzed. He has shown incredible physical, emotional and spiritual strength in his remarkable recovery, and published a book about his ordeal called Plan B – One Man's Journey from Tragedy to Triumph. Following his accident, Mike became actively involved in spinal cord research and education, working with the Rick Hansen Man in Motion Foundation on International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (I-CORD) and chairing the Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life Advisory Group. As a self-described "recovering politician," Mike was appointed Federal Commissioner on the British Columbia Treaty Commission in 2003. He has always been an avid supporter of aboriginal economic development, and his commitment to the treaty process is long-standing; as Premier in 1992, he signed the agreement establishing the Commission – the neutral body responsible for facilitating treaty negotiations among the governments of Canada, B.C. and First Nations in B.C. In recognition of Mike's exceptional community contributions, Simon Fraser University presented Mike with the 2019 President's Distinguished Community Leadership Award.
