The man behind .oro.roastery was a major supporter of ours when he was running Al Centro Café prior to the pandemic. Antonio was kind enough to host our episodes in his beautiful cafe at the time, while we were in the midst of figuring out where our next studio space will be.

At a certain point, Antonio adapted to delivering coffee beans door to door on his bicycle!! What I respect about this guys hustle and mentality is no matter what gets thrown at you in life, you adapt and adjust the game plan to ultimately still chase after the same mission you were destined to accomplish.

The goal post sometimes may continue to become further out of reach in some cases, but that doesn’t mean you stop trying to shoot for it.

For anyone in the Edmonton scene, book your next meeting or hang out spot at Bar Oro. The attention to detail in your coffee and the service is five stars across the board.

Introducing your newest addition to the team! We are exciting to have had on our podcast as a host for the past year

Khurram was born in Lahore, Pakistan and moved back and forth from there and Abu Dhabi till the age of 12 when his family moved to St Johns, Newfoundland.

Having moved for a big chunk of his childhood, he fell in love with soccer and basketball in St. John’s and his passion for basketball continued to grow.

Going onto play college basketball, khurram has mixed his media and basketball skills to be known by various international leaders in the basketball training industry.

Now running his own academy called ITD Academy, Khurram’s mantra is “in the details” or formerly known as “in the dark”

In 2024 his pronouns are “Him/Alein” and he enjoys learning and growing to make dreams turn into reality.

We would like to take the time to reintroduce ourselves! 👋

Introducing co-host Kanwarbir Singh Bhullar. Formally known in our community as Kenny. Kenny’s given Punjabi name means Prince of Bravery, which inspired him to name his academy “Bravé Fitness & MMA” .fitness

Kenny’s mission is to provide every child and adult the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of martial arts and have a healthier relationship with body movement in a safe and inclusive environment. Kenny has participated and competed in martial arts for 18.5 years. As the years pass on, he has navigated his career and interests in many different fields related to sales, marketing, and fitness; one thing that stayed constant has been his love for sharpening his skills in martial art disciplines.

Kenny is experienced in tae kwon do as a first degree blackbelt, has fought in MMA and kickboxing, and traveled the world competing in jiujitsu. Before building the academy, he has experienced managing teams and growing the bottom line for Canada’s largest corporations: TELUS, GoodLife Fitness, and Postmedia (Edmonton Journal). Kenny’s business acumen, passion for connecting with people, and love for story telling led him to co-founding 2nd Floor Podcast, which has given me the opportunity to connect with over 150+ innovators, entrepreneurs, and creators internationally. This has led to spearheading conversations on how to survive and thrive in both your personal and professional life, respectively.

His podcast has led to collaborations with TELUS Optik TV, University workshops, and Alberta Pod Network. When you’re not hearing Kenny on air, you can catch him on the mats teaching and preparing for his next Jiu Jitsu competition. Osssssss.

Allow us the opportunity to reintroduce ourselves. Introducing your co-host 👋

Qashus is a rapper and songwriter starting his musical journey in 2009, immediately finding a deep inspiration to create music. For him, he recognized the deep meaning beyond the rhythms and rhymes of rap. He takes influence from the talents of hiphop legends such as Gangstarr, Dj Premier, Nas, Tupac, Dr Dre, 50 Cent, and artists of today’s generation J Cole, Logic and Russ.

He developed a connection with the old school boom bap rap vibe of their music and felt the messages of these rappers beyond their music. He works to emulate their anecdotal approaches to his music as he’s seen done before by the greats. His resilient Afghan Canadian identity is what motivates the more personal messages of his rap and defines who he is as an individual and as an artist.

We brought on the one and only Sunee Dhaliwal - who happens to be opening for Bill Bur and Theo Von this weekend!!

Unreal. We recorded shortly after Kenny MC'd his comedy night special he did in collaboration with The Universal Radio Network. We got real and honest about how we all feel about comedians and how comedians are treated off stage.

Sunee shares some entertaining stories on what he has been through from tours to audience members treating him like he isn't human. Comedians have feelings to guys. 

Sunee Dhaliwal may just be the fastest rising star on the Canadian comedy scene. Think of the funny guy in high school that both the jocks and the nerds liked.

His professionalism and reputation for being both a club and crowd favourite has already landed him opening spots for top Headliners like Charlie Murphy, Sugar Sammy and Jo Koy along with showcases for Just for Laughs and MTV.

Sunee has recorded for XM Radio and has done his very own Comedy Now! special on CTV. Sunee Dhaliwal is definitely one of those Comedians that you will be saying a few years from now “I saw him when..."

The sky is the limit for him. We enjoyed talking about our passions for comedy, rap and martial arts.

I respect a fire backdrop and takes the cake 🍰

Same day edit got me pumped up to review the tape! It was such a pleasure going on the show to talk about so many things I’m passionate about lately:

1) how you can be your biggest obstacle from all the things you are destined to achieve. How to avoid this? We talk about it.

2) being present, aware and intentional with everything you do and understanding the ripple effect and consequences it has on your future results

3) personal training and martial arts expands your comfort zone and shouldn’t be painful. Debunking the myths of “needing to be ready”

And much much more in 55 minutes with the goat of content creation 🐐

We invite you to our 3rd self defence instalment in association with The Universal Radio Network at Edmonton Downtown Farmers Market! x - This event will be co-ed for the 1st time.

I would like to add this isn’t like your typical “self defence seminar” you learn at a crash course seminar taught by some kung fu wizard who teaches you to “just kick them in the nuts”. This is something I take very seriously. You will learn practical ways on how to protect yourself from various martial art disciplines that I’m experienced and educated in. You will walk out feeling more confident and safe when it comes to protecting yourself and you will have a new appreciation for learning martial arts. This is a great way to get an idea of what learning martial arts could be like for you and your loved ones. See you then! 🥊 Link is in bio to register

For 4 years we’ve been preaching to our listeners to “follow your passion”. After nearly a decade since high school of trying to figure out what path I want to carve out for my life, .fitness.mma is born.

This goes out to all the people out their who put in the work and time during those unseen hours; to all the people out their working a 9-5 job to gain experience and learn the ins and outs of how to do it yourself one day, the day your time comes to go ALL IN… you won’t regret a single second of it. I’m blessed to reach this point and I couldn’t have done it if the conversations I had on the podcast never took place.

Let the legacy building begin.
