Yesterday I had the honour of speaking at my friend Louis March’s Celebration of Life. Louis passed away about a month ago. He was a community leader and activist for 40 years. I’ll share more about this experience another time.

For now I want to share this article from CBC a national newspaper interviewed me and others about Louis’ legacy.

Unfortunately I cannot share the full article here, but if you Google CBC + Danny Stone this article about Louis March should be found.

I’m sharing this for 2 reasons, #1 we must honour and remember our community heroes. These are people that have made a difference in our lives and the lives of others in our community.

#2 I believe that we all have stories to tell and knowledge to share. The problem is too many of you are playing small.

In the comments let me know what resonates with you from this message.

🔥 TODAY IS THE DAY!

🥳I’m super excited to release the Champion You trailer today!

🤔 What is Champion You?

🗓️ 2.5 years at the beginning of the pandemic 😷 I was feeling lost, scared and unsure about the future. As an entrepreneur I didn’t know what would happen with my public speaking and business coaching business. 🤷🏽‍♂️

👨🏾‍💻I started going LIVE everyday for 3 months! I was listening to others pain, sharing my own, and provided support and guidance.

👥Those conversations rolled over to the Clubhouse audio app. I realized people all over the world were struggling and I wanted to help. I called my group on Clubhouse Champion You because I believe we all have an inner champion that can get us through tough times and lead us to winning in business and life.

🚀 Champion You was unleashed. People tuned into our weekly conversations from around the world! For the last 2.5 years we have been leading TRANSFORMATIONAL CONVERSATIONS. People have had breakthroughs, opened up about deep pains, and unleash more happiness and success in the Champion You rooms.

🫂 I knew the power of Community, Connection and Coaching so I decided to bring the connection in person. A few weeks ago we had the first in person event and it was amazing.

👉🏾This trailer is a culmination of 2.5 years of building community, connection and coaching individuals across the world. We have been dedicated to helping people unleash their inner champion! So many people have told me how this community got them through the pandemic, helped them breakthrough limiting beliefs, and achieve goals they never thought possible.

🙌🏾Now is the premiere of the very first Champion You event trailer. I hope it lights a fire under you to get back to chasing your dreams.

🎥 Please click below to watch the trailer.

✍️ Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

🏷️ Tag someone if it resonates with you.

🙏🏽 Thank you to all of the moderators and to everyone that has been a part of the community over the years. I tagged the mods.

Special thanks to:

“DON’T CRY” and “GET UP!” and “BIG BOYS DON’T CRY” These are statements that myself and many boys heard and hear growing up.⁣
⁣
💯 Our parents, teachers, and other adults say these things to us not knowing that those words lead us to suppressing our feelings as older boys abs men. ⁣
⁣
😞 Men and boys carry this stigma around showing their emotions and talking about feelings which leads mental health challenges.⁣
⁣
🗣️ Us men need to talk more about our feelings, express our emotions and ask for help when we need it. ⁣
⁣
💯 It’s okay to be vulnerable, asking for help isn’t being weak it’s being strong, and we shouldn’t not suffer in silence.⁣
⁣
🙌🏾Please encourage boys and men in your life to speak up and ask for help, that’s how we build resilient individuals, strong families and healthy communities.⁣
⁣

🙏🏽 Please share this message with other boys and men.⁣

🇨🇦✊🏾 For more than 20 years, my friend Wally Fowler has been fighting discrimination within the Canadian military.

His courage to speak up, along with the documentation, evidence and personal stories he collected, helped launch a class action lawsuit against the Canadian military — and that fight was ultimately won.

But Wally’s fight didn’t end there. His journey continues unfortunately!

Now, you can hear more of his and others stories in this powerful new documentary on Apple TV. 🎥🍎

👉🏾 Wally is the Black man in the blue shirt at the beginning of the documentary.

I’m so proud to call Wally a great friend and I have so much respect for his courage, persistence and commitment to standing up for what’s right.

20+ years of fighting. 20+ years of perseverance. And a story that deserves to be heard.

Check out the documentary and support Wally’s story. 🙏🏾

Have you ever wondered how different your life could have been if just one person had stepped in when you were being bullied?

Today, I had the opportunity to join CP24 with Jennifer Hsiung and Nick Dixon to talk about bullying and the important roles that victims, aggressors, and bystanders play.

This topic is deeply personal for me.

Growing up, I was bullied a lot. There were times when it affected my confidence, self-esteem, and how I saw myself. What helped me rebuild wasn’t just time—it was people. My mom, caring adults, supportive friends, and sports all played a role in helping me find my confidence again and learn how to stand up for myself.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is this:

Bystanders have more power than they realize.

Whether bullying happens in person or online, choosing to speak up, offer support, report harmful behavior, or simply let someone know they’re not alone can change the outcome of a situation.

If you see something, say something.

You never know when a few words of support could make a lifetime of difference for someone else.

🚨 STOP THE LIES. SPEAK THE TRUTH. 🚨

A few years ago, I stood in front of an audience and said those exact words.

Because I believe we all lie to ourselves sometimes.

❌ “I’m not good enough.” — That’s a lie.
❌ “I’m not smart enough.” — That’s a lie.
❌ “I’ll never make it.” — That’s a lie.
❌ “I can’t do it.” — That’s another lie.

It’s time to stop the lies and start speaking the truth. 🔥

The truth is…

✨ You have greatness inside of you.
✨ Your goals and dreams are worth pursuing.
✨ You are capable.
✨ You are worthy.
✨ And you are more powerful than the story you’ve been telling yourself.

So instead of saying “I can’t,” ask yourself:

👉 “HOW CAN I?”

Because “I can’t” closes the door.

“How can I?” looks for the key. 🔑

What are you working toward achieving right now?

👇 Tell me in the comments. I want to know what you’re going after!

🔥 STOP CHASING GREATNESS. FOCUS ON THIS INSTEAD.

Greatness doesn’t happen overnight. 🏆

You don’t wake up every day thinking, “How do I become wildly successful?”

You focus on taking consistent action. 💪🏾

You focus on being 1% better than you were yesterday. 📈

You show up.
You do the work.
You learn.
You improve.
You keep going—even when you don’t see the results yet. 🔥

Then one day, you look back and realize…

Those small daily actions created something GREAT. 🚀

👉🏾 In the comments, tell me ONE thing you’ve achieved that you’re proud of. I want to celebrate with you! 🎉

Stop carrying guilt that was never meant to define you. 💔➡️❤️

We all have mistakes we wish we could erase. We’ve all experienced failures, setbacks, and moments we’re not proud of.

But you can’t move into your future while staying chained to your past.

Today, make a decision:
Forgive yourself.
Not because what happened didn’t matter—but because you deserve the freedom to heal, grow, and move forward.

Your past is a chapter, not your identity.

👇 If you’re choosing to let go today, type “I forgive myself” in the comments.

Have you ever felt like giving up? Read this. 👇🏾

The path to your purpose will never be easy.

There will be pain.
There will be setbacks.
There will be moments when you question if it’s all worth it.

But every challenge is shaping you into the person you need to become to live the life you’re dreaming of.

Don’t let temporary struggles convince you to abandon a permanent dream.

Keep going.
Keep fighting.
Keep believing.
Don’t quit.

One day, you’ll look back and realize every obstacle was preparing you for the breakthrough you were praying for.

🚨 If you’re ready to give up, read this first…

So many people are carrying battles no one else can see.

I have friends facing health challenges. Others are struggling financially. Some are fighting battles in their relationships or just trying to make it through another day.

I’ve faced difficult seasons too.

Here’s what I want you to remember: You will get through this.

Keep going. Keep taking one step at a time. Don’t let today’s pain convince you that tomorrow won’t be better.

Your breakthrough might be closer than you think.

❤️ Comment “KEEP GOING” if you’re not giving up, and send this to someone who needs this reminder today.

🛑 The story you’re hiding might be the one someone else needs to hear. 👇🏾

For years, I was afraid to share my story.

I didn’t think anyone wanted to hear about a kid who grew up in low-income housing, surrounded by drugs, crime, and violence.

I was wrong.

The moment I started opening up, people began saying, “I can relate.” They thanked me for giving them hope and inspiring them to believe their own story wasn’t over.

Your story isn’t something to hide—it’s your greatest connection.

Someone is waiting for the lesson you’ve lived through.

🎯 Stop waiting for the perfect moment. Share your story. You never know whose life it could change.

👇🏾 What’s one chapter of your story that has made you who you are today? Share it in the comments.

🛑 STOP comparing your life to someone else’s highlight reel. 👇🏾

There was a time I woke up every day comparing my success to everyone else’s.

They seemed further ahead.
Making more money.
Getting more opportunities.
Living the life I wanted.

But comparison wasn’t motivating me—it was stealing my confidence.

Everything changed when I realized this:

I’m not running their race. I’m running mine.

The moment I stopped trying to beat everyone else and focused on becoming better than I was yesterday, my confidence grew, my mindset changed, and my life started moving forward.

Your only competition is the person you were yesterday.

💬 What’s one area of your life where you’re choosing progress over comparison? Drop it in the comments—I want to cheer you on.
