Gruff Gushnowski: Nothing to Hide

Gruff Gushnowski has been living life openly and honestly
for the last three and a half years. If you following him on
social media, he can be uncomfortably candid about his postings,
and he revealed in this week's show about how helpful it has
been. We explored his radio career which has been set in Alberta
for 25 years outside of a brief stint programming CHEZ 106 in
Ottawa. There are other heritage rockers in their too like K97 in
Edmonton and The Goat in Lloydminster, Alberta. (Given all the
awards, accolades and talent that has passed through that
station, I think we can give it iconic status) He worked his way
up from announcer, to music director and the program director's
chair. As the pressure mounted and the responsibility
accumulated, so did his drinking. Until one day -- he
stopped. 





Last November he started back at Newcap in his current position
as Program Director for the Northern Alberta
stations; overseeing radio stations in Lloydminster,
Wainwright, Cold Lake, Bonnyville, St. Paul, Lac La Biche,
Athabasca, Slave Lake, High Prairie, Whitecourt, Westlock, Edson
& Hinton. Best of all for him, he has moved back to
Lloydminster where he lay down some heavy roots in early part of
the millenium. In this episode, Gruff holds nothing back. He
and I even take a few moments to share tactics for alleviating
depression. I am not a clinical psychologist, but I briefly play
one on this podcast. 


If you do need help and are looking to make a life change, this
is a great place to start.
