My guest today is Tricia Helfer — actress, model, and producer best known for her iconic roles in Battlestar Galactica, Lucifer, and a string of powerful roles across shows like Suits and Van Helsing.
Born and raised on a farm in Alberta, Tricia’s journey has taken her from small-town roots to the biggest runways in the world, and eventually to some of Hollywood’s most recognizable screens. Her story isn’t just about career success — it’s about evolution, self-awareness, and the art of staying grounded in an industry built on performance.
In this episode, we get into her creative process, how she prepares for emotionally demanding roles, and what balance looks like after decades in the spotlight. Tricia opens up about the lessons she’s learned from reinvention, setting boundaries, and building a more intentional life outside the camera.

In this episode, we discuss:
- Growing up on a farm in Alberta and how those early experiences shaped her work ethic and perspective

- The importance of creative resets and protecting her energy
- Navigating identity, balance, and boundaries in the entertainment world
- What she’s currently working on and how she continues to evolve as an artist and person
- Voice acting for generational games such as StarCraft and Mass Effect

Thank you for listening to this episode! I hope you keep up with the weekly content posted on this channel. Subscribe and share your learnings with those who need to hear them.
My guests today are Sophie Poirier and Nick Bodoin. Sophie is an art advisor at Galerie Cosner, located in Montreal’s Ritz-Carlton, where she works closely with private collectors, institutions, and emerging artists to help navigate the evolving world of contemporary art. She also assists galleries in the sale, evaluation and recording of paintings. Nick is a Montreal-based visual artist whose work is quickly gaining notoriety in the city’s creative scene, blending modern technique with deep introspective themes.
Together, they recently co-founded Foire Parallèle—a new platform and independent art fair designed to offer an alternative, more intimate space to discover and connect with local artists. With curated selections that blend emerging and established talent, Foire Parallèle is reshaping how contemporary art is presented, consumed, and experienced in Montreal. At a time where the art world is quickly evolving with technology, AI, and shifting cultural values, this conversation explores how both artists and advisors are adapting, building, and finding their voice in a new creative economy.
In this episode, we dive into:
The story behind Foire Parallèle and its vision for independent art fairs
The evolving roles of artists and advisors in the modern art world
Marketing strategies for building visibility and value as a creative professional
How technology and AI are transforming artistic creation
The tension between commercial success and creative integrity
What it really means to connect with art—and the people behind it
