John Trapp is the founder of Chief Wellness Advisory, dedicated to developing Human Centric Leadership teams. His entrepreneurial journey began in 2001, coinciding with his marriage to Mandy. As co-founder of Total-R Inc., he navigated family succession, partnerships, and business growth before selling in 2015.

Despite outward success, he faced personal challenges including anxiety, depression, and alcoholism. Seeking renewal, John became a certified Integral Coach in Bali and co-founded Edmonton's first meditation studio upon returning to Canada. Joining Clark Builders in 2017, he rose to VP - People and Wellness - integrating well-being practices into corporate culture and impacting Clark Builders. John has since co-created Longship to share his passion for inner development, by growing a community of men with aligned values.

Ryan Collins, born in Devon, Alberta, grew up in the construction industry and eventually took over Collins Steel, a leading steel fabrication organization, alongside his brother Jason. Under their leadership, Collins Steel thrived as a Canadian success story.

Ryan's passion for Business Development and connecting people led him to an eight-year tenure at EO Edmonton, where he served on the board. He is committed to fostering personal growth and supporting others on their journeys, leading him to become co-founder of Longship. Married to his childhood sweetheart Jackie for 20 years, they enjoy a fruitful life with their two teenage children.

After earning his psychology degree, Cody entered finance, managing investment portfolios across Alberta and British Columbia with his father until his sudden passing in 2014. Cody then founded Holos Productivity, specializing in corporate wellbeing programs.

After additional personal tragedies struck in 2018 and 2019, Cody took time off from his professional career to focus on healing after he was diagnosed with PTSD, before launching RavenLake Investments, a private equity fund supporting young organizations seeking to make positive impact in areas focused on health and wellbeing. With several companies in the portfolio, RavenLake anticipates robust growth in the next few years. Cody's foremost passions remain his daughter Adella, wife Elaine, stepsons Kingston, Blake, and Harlon, and supportive brothers who stood by him during his darkest times, which became the inspiration for Longship.
