In this episode of Unscripted Curiosity, Scott and Jenn sit down with Scott’s brother, Dan Jones—a former beat cop, current Chair of Justice Studies at NorQuest College, and someone who brings heart, grit, and wisdom to conversations about justice, trauma, and healing.
Dan shares the path that took him from being labeled and underestimated as a kid to earning a Master’s degree from Cambridge University, and building a career rooted in compassion, not just correction. He opens up about the emotional toll of policing, the importance of boundaries, and how he’s learning to stay regulated in a world that often isn’t. From his deep respect for Indigenous healing practices to the everyday rituals—like barefoot walks and feeding magpies—that help him feel human, Dan invites us into a conversation about vulnerability, resilience, and finding fulfillment in unexpected places.
This episode is full of laughter, honesty, and reflections on brotherhood, burnout, and why men’s mental health deserves more space. It’s a conversation about doing the work—and staying curious while you do.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
