If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to start (and sustain) meaningful conversations online—or felt nervous about leading deeper, sometimes tricky discussions on camera—this episode will meet you right where you are.
For this episode of Midlife Unmuted™, I sat down with Dr. Vibe, the award-winning host who’s held space for more than 5,000 online shows—all dedicated to real talk, deep connection, and spotlighting stories that often go unheard. Dr. Vibe isn’t about quick trends or curated perfection. Instead, he’s built community by staying present, asking better questions, and listening with intention.
His mission? Making every guest feel like a friend—and every listener feel seen.
👋 Who is Dr. Vibe?
Dr. Vibe is the host and creator behind The Dr. Vibe Show, one of Canada’s most longstanding platforms for honest, wide-ranging online dialogue. For over a decade, he’s led conversations spanning fatherhood, identity, purpose, and major social issues—with a steady focus on service, impact, and lifting others along the way. He’s also the co-host and co-producer of Dad Central, a show dedicated to fatherhood and supported by Dove Men+Care.
🎙️ Inside this conversation:
Dr. Vibe’s journey from a dining room table with a Blue Snowball mic to running a globally recognized video podcast (5,000+ episodes and counting)
His rituals for preparing meaningful shows—including why he blocks off “pre-show” time to pray, meditate, and be fully present
How he creates safe and brave spaces for guests to share vulnerable stories, even ones they’ve never told before
What it looks like to adapt and evolve (from audio to video, from tech newbie to trusted mentor), including learning how to ask for help—and delegate
Tips for keeping live conversations engaging, authentic, and manageable (even when the topics are complex or emotions run high)
Why visibility is about service, not ego—and the surprising payoff of growing slowly and intentionally
If you’re tired of scripted exchanges or chasing vanity metrics—and you want to use video to create actual impact, not just noise—this one’s for you.
Dr. Vibe’s challenge for you: 🎯
Before your next meeting, live stream, or call—pause for 15 minutes. Shut everything off. Center yourself. Ask: “How can I be fully present and make this conversation matter for the other person?” Notice how it shifts your energy (and theirs).

✨ Key Takeaway
You don’t need the perfect script or fancy gear. The ability to hold space, listen deeply, and treat people with genuine respect leaves a lasting impression—online or off.
You can build something significant—one real conversation at a time.
