In this episode, Candace talks conscious entrepreneurship and steps to a healthier lifestyle with Riley Cote, a former NHL Enforcer for the Philadelphia Flyers, and founder of BodyChek Wellness.  Riley's hockey days were spent getting his hands dirty the “old fashion way”, fighting on the ice as an Enforcer. Being a physical player was part of his role however it came at a cost.
