  Episode #76

  Designs by Karin of Kelowna

  Aug 10, 20261h 8m

  Send us Fan Mail Karin’s path to Designs by Karin began long before she ever considered furniture refinishing a career. Growing up in Oshawa, she was always creating, whether she was crafting, baking with her grandmother or refinishing her first cedar chest by hand. Her professional life took her into pharmacy, hospital work and eventually a seventeen year career teaching pharmacy technicians. After moving to the Okanagan and working with Interior Health, Karin stepped away from her career to care for her parents and needed to find something she could build from home. What began with a $25 nightstand grew into a thriving custom furniture refinishing business, a community of fellow creators and a return to the creative side that had always been part of her. Karin shares the care, patience and persistence behind transforming both furniture and an unexpected new chapter of life. #ofkelownapodcast

  Robin Killoran of Kelowna

  Aug 3, 20261h 8m

  Send us Fan Mail Robin @bluepineapplestrongman and @bluepineapplebarber grew up in Salmon Arm, but a love of travel and new experiences soon took him far beyond his hometown. After working at a plywood mill, he spent a year travelling through Australia and Southeast Asia before returning to Canada and eventually making his way to Kelowna. His career path has been just as varied. Robin worked in construction and installed windows on high rises before turning a skill he had practiced since his teenage years into a career as a barber. He went on to compete in barber battles across Canada, using bold colours and creative designs to stand out from the competition. More recently, Robin entered the world of competitive strongman. In only his second season, he won provincials and became Canada’s under 80 kilogram strongman champion, earning his professional card and invitations to compete internationally. Robin shares how he built the discipline to keep training, what it takes to prepare for strongman competitions, the injuries and setbacks he has worked through and why the supportive community surrounding the sport has made the journey so meaningful. #ofkelownapodcast
