Part 1 - An Unconventional Journey from Music to Law with Yvan Guy Larocque

My next guest is Yvan Guy Larocque, a Red River Métis citizen, Indigenous Business Lawyer, and University professor. However, his journey to becoming a lawyer took unexpected turns.I first met Yvan at a Red River Métis business conference in Winnipeg. Despite his polished appearance and charm, what surprised me was his deep connection to the local music scene. As co-owner of The Good Will Social Club, I was taken aback when Yvan mentioned that his band, PIE - a tribute to Cake, had performed there numerous times. This juxtaposition of lawyer and musician challenged my preconceived notions.But there's more to Yvan's story than meets the eye. Yvan's journey is anything but conventional, from his roots in a small Métis community to military service, activism, and musical endeavours with a dream team of local musicians. Join us as we connect the dots of his extraordinary life.
