If there is one thing that I continue to secretly hold out hope for, it’s for someone to hire me as a DJ of some sort.

I’d take a kid’s backyard birthday party. Maybe even the DJ of elevator rides.

Here are some of the tracks I have been listening to quite a lot in the summer of 2022, our third Covid summer. These songs are driving my family crazy, mostly because I’m spinning some of them twice or three times a day.

Of note, all songs had to have been released in 2022.

There are two caveats to report. First, Spoon released an album in 2021 but then issued some “Wild” remixes in 2022. One caught my attention. It’s stellar.

And the other is a 30+-year-old track. Huh? It’s a live cut from the Tragically Hip, finally officially released on vinyl this year. No more bootleg for me. #killerwhaletank (They made it one word.)

Other stellar entries come from the likes of Mt. Joy, Mondo Cozmo, Metric, P!nk, the Record Company, the Smile, and Death Cab for Cutie.

Enjoy!

We are so proud to have had you at our event. Your talk was a big hit. It moved us. We can’t thank you enough.

Malin Björnell, Salesforce
Dan challenged us to have clarity of purpose, both as individuals and as an organization. He related inspiring stories drawing on his experience in business, technology and academia. As he said, ‘There is no ownership without belonging.’

Christian Pantel, D2L
Fantastic engaging talk for our global partner summit. Thank you so much, Dan!

Barb Kinnard, CEO Response Biomedical Corp
Dan not only brought his presentation to life with his charisma, but also content, style and presentation finesse. Our members were especially interested in his thought provoking and top of mind topic on the future of work and how we’re going to be leading the next generation of leaders.

Cheryl Goodwin, CPA
Dan is a conference organizer’s ideal speaker. Not only did he inspire and energize our group, but he also masterfully adapted his content so it resonated with the audience and our conference theme. As a bonus, Dan is able to nimbly navigate to adjust to a reduced time slot when other speakers went over time without sacrificing the impact of his session.

Director and General Counsel
Dan accomplished what we set out to do, which was not only to be inspirational, but also to leave everyone with tools and food for thought / self-reflection to improve their personal and professional lives.

Hermann Handa, FCT
