"Abawashded and welcome to the Chief Tony podcast. Leadership can be a job or a position, but it's also a quality and a way of living and seeing and finding your way. The world needs leaders in every part of life, and through the power of shared stories we can walk that path together. This first one is going to be a 'getting to know you' episode, a chance for me to tell you a bit about myself, the podcast and what I've got planned."  Chief Tony Alexis   The Chief Tony Podcast brought to you from the heart of Treaty 6 Territory, a production by Chief Tony Alexis and pipikwan pêhtâkwan.
