    He Left Corporate for a "Marketing Isekai" - Toronto - Canada's Entrepreneur

    "This is a must for any entrepreneur who's ever wondered if there's more to business than KPIs" Suneel Mistry is a Toronto-based marketing leader who made an unconventional career move — he stepped away from a corporate marketing role at HSB Canada (a Munich Re subsidiary) to do a 6-month sabbatical placement through Cuso International with the Protected Areas Trust in Guyana. As a Communications Specialist, he worked on capacity building for conservation in the Caribbean, using modern marketing and storytelling tools to drive environmental awareness in resource-constrained environments. He even traveled to Chile for the RedLAC Congress (the Latin American and Caribbean Network of Environmental Funds). He calls the experience his "Marketing Isekai" — borrowing from the Japanese anime genre where a character is transported to a completely different world. For Suneel, that world was the rainforests and protected areas of Guyana, where his corporate marketing skills had to adapt to entirely different realities. He studied Communication Studies at York University, founded Studio Two Seven in 2017 as a creative media platform, and has photographed across Colombia, England, Guyana, Mexico, New York, and Toronto. He's also a cinephile and Star Wars enthusiast. Stay Connected with #CanadasEntrepreneur! Join our growing community of entrepreneurs across Canada!

    How Great Entrepreneurs Build Things That Last - Guelph - Canada's Entrepreneur

    "When you meet another entrepreneur, it's like finding a special friend." Taylor Beech believes progress in business and life comes down to disciplined execution, applied consistently over time. For more than 25 years, he worked at the intersection of performance, systems, and growth — starting as a personal trainer, then translating that operating discipline into entrepreneurship and real estate development. Today, he is focused on building Dominion Crate Works, an industrial packaging company serving manufacturers that require export-grade, military-spec, and mission-critical crating. His work is grounded in fundamentals: clear processes, reliable execution, and long-term value creation. Alongside this, he mentors and coaches men in their second act through Second Wind, helping them rebuild energy, clarity, and internal leadership so they can execute at a higher level in business and life. The common thread in everything he does is simple: turning intent into action and building things that last. Stay Connected with #CanadasEntrepreneur!

    Opportunity-driven retirement entrepreneurship - Toronto - Canada's Entrepreneur

    At a time when more Canadians are rethinking what retirement looks like, lifelong sailors and retired brand builders Sian Roberts and Kevin Dunal offer a compelling second-act founder story. While living aboard a 95-year-old Dutch barge in the Netherlands, the couple encountered a problem familiar to many downsizing consumers: traditional cookware simply wasn’t designed for tight, modern living. Their search led them to nesto by Cook Vision, a German-engineered nesting cookware system that reduces storage needs by up to 50 per cent without compromising performance or durability. With more than 50 years of combined experience launching and scaling brands across North America, Roberts and Dunal quickly recognized a broader market opportunity, particularly as Canadians move into smaller homes and prioritize longer-lasting household investments. Though officially retired, they made the deliberate decision to return to entrepreneurship, leading nesto’s expansion into Canada. Today, they are building the brand around a system-based, "buy better, buy once" philosophy, positioning nesto as a premium alternative to cluttered cookware sets, and a case study in opportunity-driven retirement entrepreneurship.

    Putting a delicious spin on the ancient digestive tonic Kombucha - Toronto - Canada's Entrepreneur

    Zoey Shamai, founder of Tonica Kombucha, which is celebrating 20 years in business this March. Zoey founded Tonica in 2006 as the first commercially available kombucha brand in Canada, helping introduce and build a category that is now firmly established in grocery + specialty retail nationwide. With no outside investment and no formal business training, she grew the company from small-batch brewing within Toronto’s yoga community into a national brand now available in more than 2,500 stores. Under her leadership, Tonica became a recognized Canadian success story, including a memorable appearance on Dragon’s Den, further cementing the brand’s profile and credibility as it scaled. As a former yoga teacher with a deep interest in health and fermentation, Zoey built Tonica around traditional brewing methods, ingredient integrity, and long-term thinking. Today, Tonica operates out of its own certified organic and HACCP production facility in Ontario and offers a diverse portfolio of bottled and canned kombucha flavours. Zoey remains the sole owner of the business, overseeing production, distribution, and brand strategy - an increasingly rare model in today’s consolidated CPG landscape.

    The Billion-Dollar Lesson in Being Different - Toronto - Canada's Entrepreneur

    Come into any situation with a clear idea of what you can contribute, and what you would like to get out of it. Michael Shapiro is a cultural entrepreneur, author, and language enthusiast passionate about reviving ancient Jewish traditions through modern innovation. He's spent my life embracing what others might call "personal weirdness" and turning it into something extraordinary. He’s always been fascinated by languages, alphabets, and the meaning of words. At age twelve, he took a Hebrew calligraphy class and in high school, he was the Hebrew language valedictorian. After earning his MBA from the University of Michigan, he spent two years in Brand Management at Procter & Gamble, but the corporate world felt too narrow for his creative spirit. In December 1994, he left P&G and flew to Israel to study at the Pardes Institute. By June 1995, he met his first Ketubah (artistic Jewish marriage contract) artist. In 1996, he registered Ketubah.com. What he had envisioned as one product line for a gallery soon became his entire focus online. Nearly three decades later, Ketubah.com has become the largest Ketubah publisher on the planet, featuring 75+ leading artists and 900+ fine art limited edition designs. Michael has created HebrewNamer.com, a platform helping people discover the meaning and proper spelling of their Hebrew names. Last year, a major Jewish Publisher (JPS) published "Ketubah Renaissance", a coffee table book about this ancient tradition's modern revival. And he’s about to launch "Doing Jewish Today" an e-magazine for Jewish, interfaith and LGBTQ+ couples and families interesting in connecting with Jewish traditions on their own terms. As someone who speaks multiple languages and reads 6-7 alphabets (and is aiming for 10!), he believes deeply in embracing what makes you unique. Whether you're a "Jewish day school nerd" or have your own passion, he encourages everyone to lean into their personal weirdness—it might just become your greatest strength!

    Scaling a business idea into a success story - Toronto - Canada's Entrepreneur

    Dylan Munro is co-founder of Spot & Tango, a fast-growing U.S. based direct-to-consumer dog food company, which launched in Canada in March. Canada is the brand’s first international expansion and is being led by co-founder Munro, a Toronto native who is bringing the brand he helped build in the U.S., back home. The move reflects both the growing appetite among Canadian pet owners for premium, human-grade nutrition and Dylan’s personal desire to introduce the product to his own family, friends, and fellow Canadians. Spot & Tango delivers human-grade, vet-developed dog food through a subscription model, including its best-selling FreshDry™️ "UnKibble," which combines the nutritional integrity of fresh food with the convenience of dry.
