Full Biography
Sydney Brouillard-Coyle
An empowered, passionate 13-year-old from Windsor, Ontario, Sydney Brouillard-Coyle wants to change the world. And even though she has very publicly stated her intention to become the Prime Minister of Canada in 40 years, she’s by no means waiting to take real action. In fact, she provides an incredible example for youth across the country of how it doesn’t matter what age, size or colour we are – we can make a difference.
Starting at age six, Sydney rallied her church community to make sandwiches for a downtown mission. At the age of nine she not only engaged her school to fundraise for a women’s shelter, but also create a garden in order to grow fresh produce for its kitchen. After inspiring fellow participants at Me to We’s Take Action Camp in 2012, Sydney was invited to speak at We Days all across Canada where she shared the stage with Molly Burke and Marc Kielburger. And that’s where, at the age of 12, she proclaimed to tens of thousands that her dream is to one day occupy the country’s top office.
In the summer of 2013 Sydney travelled to Kenya on a Me to We trip to gain further insights into the life journeys of her peers. She believes deeply that the world can be a better place and enjoys challenging others to light their sparks and make a difference. Sydney’s confidence and commitment are an inspiration to behold – she is a change-maker who proves each day that children are not just the future – they are the present.

Life Changes Show
Come and join the conversation about what's going on and what we can do together about it, with it, and for it. We have the choice, we have the power. We can do magic if we just believe!
A show about the changes going on in us, to us, around us, and because of us. Therefore, it's technically a show about "Everything," only with a how to make it better, see it better, be better.
In the show, there is talk about, and with, people who have either been through major changes, are helping others with major changes, or people who are changing the world for the better in a major way.
The show is a one-hour talk show format with a monologue by the host, a 30 minute interview with a guest of note, capped by a "Producer's Wrap" segment, in which Filippo and Co-Host Mark Laisure, and sometimes surprise guests, bring it all home for the listeners in a sometimes humorous and sometimes touching, but always entertaining conversation.
