Tim Srigley is the craftsman behind Black Flag Leather Goods a great leather-working YouTube channel.
Tim Srigley lives in Chilliwack, BC, with his wife and 3 year old daughter. He started leather working in July of 2020. He was on a 3 month paternity leave from work and looking for a hobby to do while his daughter napped each day. That hobby turned into a business and he was suddenly selling a good amount of small goods (wallets, belts, camera straps, etc). It quickly got out of hand and that was all he was doing in his free time. Tim decided to try his hand at making YouTube videos on leather craft and began growing an audience. He decided to close his books and devote his time to YouTube. As of right now he has 4705 subscribers and the channel has turned into just as much of a hobby as the leather craft itself. In his videos he talks about how to get started in leather work, things to avoid, and great tools to use. He shares templates and tutorials on how to make things like leather cup holders, wallets, card holders, as well as tips and tricks.
In this conversation, Aaron and Tim drink whisky and talk about starting YouTube channels, society, family, choosing a hobby, and sharing your passion with others. More specifically, Tim shares his experience working with leather, the journey of starting the Black Flag Leather Goods YouTube channel, his recommendations when starting a YouTube channel, how to make money on YouTube, as well as tips and ticks to make a successful channel.

Keith Thor Carlson is a father, husband, professor of History at the University of the Fraser Valley, Tier One Canada Research Chair in Indigenous and Community-Engaged History, and ethnohistorian.
Professor Carlsonâs scholarship is designed and conducted in partnership with communities and aspires to answer questions that are of relevance to those communities. His interests include: Indigenous history, Indigenous historical consciousness, and the history of settler colonialism â especially in western Canada and north western USA. The approach he takes is to invert the classic scholarly gaze and to forefront the perspective of Indigenous partners. âSo what intrigues me most is not the history of Indigenous people in Canadian or American history, but the history of Canadian and American society within Indigenous histories,â offers Carlson. His focus is on the history of the Coast Salish of British Columbia and Washington and has worked extensively with Hukbalahap veterans in the Philippines.

Dara Kelly is from the LeqâĂĄ:mel First Nation, part of the StĂł:lĆ Coast Salish, and is an Assistant Professor at the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University.
She completed her Doctor of Philosophy in Commerce in the Department of Management and International Business at The University of Auckland Business School in Aotearoa-New Zealand. Daraâs doctoral research explored Coast Salish economy of affection with a focus on Coast Salish philosophy of freedom, unfreedom, wealth and reciprocity. Economic unfreedom emerged with introduction of the Potlatch Ban across Canada, and its residual impacts are prevalent today reflected in an aspect of the research findings that honour XĂĄ:m! Crying, weepingâthe affective expression of grieving that shapes how the Coast Salish wisdom keepers in this research talk about gatherings. Economic freedom from within Coast Salish worldview is inherently spiritual by virtue of the interrelated nature of exchange between XĂĄ:ls, the Creator, SĂłlh TĂ©mĂ©xw, the river environment, and XwĂ©lmexw, the river people. She conducted this research using research methodology emerging from Coast Salish philosophy, protocols and worldview.
Dara completed a Master of Commerce at The University of Auckland Business School. Her research thesis was entitled, "NgÄ Kete e Toru o te WÄnanga: Exploring Feminine Ancestral Leadership with MÄori Business Leaders". She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of British Columbia (UBC).
In addition to her studies, Dara was a Researcher with the Mira SzĂĄszy Research Centre for MÄori and Pacific Economic Development at The University of Auckland Business School. Dara also has professional experience in leadership development programming.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JMkE8y3dgPk

Lee Harding is a father, grandfather, biologist, environmental consultant, hunter, and researcher. In this conversation, Aaron and Lee talk about the wolf culling that is taking place in British Columbia. Aerial wolf reduction involves the shooting of wolves from a helicopter, which the province claims is the most effective and humane way to reduce wolf populations in remote areas to protect Caribou. Mr. Harding's research suggests this is inaccurate, and in the conversation they discuss viable alternatives.
After graduating from a California university with a B.Sc. degree in Wildlife Management (1970), Lee guided for a season in northern British Columbia, hunting Stoneâs sheep, moose, caribou and mountain goats. He consulted in wildlife ecology in the Arctic for five years, where he worked closely with First Nations trappers in studies of furbearers, muskoxen and caribou. He was an Environment Canada biologist and program manager for 20 years, and after taking early retirement from the Canadian Wildlife Service, went to Japan for a PhD in Wildlife Toxicology from Gifu University (2003). He was an environmental consultant for another 20 years (1998â2007). Dr. Harding is a Registered Professional Biologist in British Columbia, Canada and a member (retired) of the College of Applied Biology (B.C.), the American Society of Mammalogists and the British Columbia Field Ornithologists. Most of his writing is in government technical reports, technical reports for consulting clients and newspaper/magazine articles.

Andrew Christopher is a Father, Husband, Singer, Songwriter, Entertainer and Host of the AC Podcast.
Andrew Christopher, as he often says, is âliving the dreamâ. He values time with his wife, 3 kids and his work as a father and husband in Ryder Lake, BC, above all else. The fact that he is able to create and perform music as a career is a result of some hard life lessons which have molded him into the artist, and man he is today. Andrew lost his daughter, Lilee-Jean, to cancer in 2013 at 2.5 years old. His dad went to jail in 2017 and was mostly absent since adolescence. A sense of responsibility to live a good life in honor of his daughter, some deep soul-searching, plant medicines, and reading a book given to him by his drummer, Dylan, changed Andrews life in a way that cannot be explained via biography.
Growing up with The Beatles, Garth Brooks, piano lessons, and singing in the church choir gave Andrew a great head start in music. He played drums in band class, picked up an acoustic guitar along the way and wrote some of his first songs in high-school. After a pretty serious, but financially frustrating stint as front man in Pardon My Striptease (Pray (for LJ) #1 iTunes + top 20 99.3 âfox seedsâ band) Andrew started busking on Granville island to make ends meat and build up a substantial cover song repertoire which now amasses over 500 songs. He recorded his first solo album âGoneâ and busking quickly turned into warmer, dryer venues such as pubs, and private parties. His busiest year to date had him performing 274 gigs and sold over 1,000 copies of his debut album.
Most recently âACâ has ventured into the podcast world (The AC Show, Between Sets) and started a new original project with his close friend and fellow beer lovinâ, hockey fanatic, family man, Jamie Rowe. Parliament of Owls (credit Jamie with the name) was a match made in heaven and is as much about family and friendship as it is songwriting. Their self-titled album has sold over 2,000 CDâs. Yes, Andrew is still selling Compact discs off stage as an ode to his longing for the good olâ days, but it can also be found everywhere music is streamed. To get a glimpse of who Andrew really is you need to see him perform. You need to feel his joy, his pain and his insatiable lust for life connect with you through song.
