Join us for a coffee and chat with Ryan Jespersen, host of Real Talk! Ryan shares his compelling journey from a busy Calgary upbringing, where he got his first job cleaning his father's medical offices, to becoming one of Alberta's most recognizable voices in media.

We discuss how an early introduction to journalism led him to drop his plans for health sciences, which he quickly realized weren't for him, and how he got his start in broadcast news in Red Deer. Hear the hilarious story of how he met his wife while working for a competing radio station—and how they had to keep their relationship on the down low!

This is the story of a career built on seizing opportunities: the key moment a simple fill-in job launched him from swing host to Breakfast Television host, and the shift in his on-air commentary that ultimately led him to the world of political analysis and his current, successful platform hosting Real Talk.

Let us know your thoughts in the comments and leave us a review!
