In this episode of On the Subject, host Michael Vilardo sits down with Nathan Bowen—former pro hockey player, co-founder of Total Package Hockey, and Executive Chairman of TPH Academy. From gritty roots on the ice to leading one of the most impactful multi-sport academic academies in North America, Nathan shares how TPH is giving student-athletes back their time, their purpose, and their confidence. They dive into scaling culture, designing education around passion instead of the bell schedule, and what it takes to develop not just champions on the field, but leaders in life. Plus, the moment his mom told him to stop whining about ice time might be the best parenting advice ever recorded.
