    Progressive Conservative Leader Obby Khan on The Future of Manitoba

    We sit down inside the Manitoba Legislative Building with Obby Khan, Leader of the Opposition, for a conversation about leadership, resilience, and the responsibility that comes with representing an entire province. Walking through the historic halls of the legislature each day is something Obby says he never takes for granted, a reminder that the work being done inside those walls affects real people across Manitoba.We also get into the philosophy that guides the way he leads today. Obby talks about why disagreement isn’t something to fear, why listening to people with different perspectives is essential to progress, and how the idea of service, a value passed down from his father, continues to shape the way he approaches politics, business, and life.#204Rise #ObbyKhan #ManitobaPolitics #WinnipegPodcast #Leadership #PublicService #CanadianPolitics #CFL #Entrepreneurship #LeadershipMindset #PodcastEpisode

    The Science of Belonging: Why Community Determines Your Happiness | EP 202

    In this Episode of the 204Rise podcast we sit down with Margaux Miller to explore a question that feels more relevant than ever: how do we build real community in a world that’s constantly connected but increasingly isolated? Margaux shares why happiness and longevity are directly tied to the strength of our relationships, and why physical proximity, intentional time, and meaningful interaction still matter in ways technology can’t replace.From the psychology behind belonging to the 2,000-hour rule of deep friendships, we unpack what actually creates trust and participation. Margaux explains why most networking events struggle to create real connection, how communities like run clubs are reshaping social life, and why building belonging, whether in business or in life, requires structure, clarity, and intention.This conversation goes beyond surface-level connection. It’s about designing spaces where people feel seen, building environments that foster depth over noise, and recognizing that in an AI-driven world, human connection isn’t soft it’s strategic. If community is the foundation of everything we build, this episode is a blueprint for getting it right.#204Rise #MargauxMiller #CommunityBuilding #HumanConnection #LonelinessEpidemic #Leadership #PublicSpeaking #Networking #Entrepreneurship #Winnipeg #Belonging #ModernLeadership

    What It Takes to Build a Space People Actually Care About

    Amie didn’t set out to build a gym as much as she set out to build a place where people felt seen, supported, and challenged in the right ways.In Episode 201, Amie Seier, founder of The Community Gym, walks us through the decisions that shaped her business long before the doors ever opened. Early pop-up classes and unconventional equipment choices eventually became the quieter leadership moments no one prepares you for, this conversation explores what it means to build culture with intention instead of chasing growth for growth’s sake.We talk about the mental load of leadership, the loneliness that can come with being the decision-maker, and why execution matters more than ideas once real people are counting on you. Amie opens up about fear, regret, and the internal pressure of choosing to act before certainty shows up. She also shares how hiring for balance, not duplication, helped shape a team and environment people genuinely want to be part of.#204Rise #CommunityGym #LeadershipDevelopment #EntrepreneurMindset #WinnipegBusiness #CultureBuilding #WomenInLeadership #CanadianPodcast

    Inside University Leadership: Crisis, Culture & Decision-Making at Scale

    On episode 200 of the 204 Rise Podcast, we sit down with Michael Benarroch, President of the University of Manitoba, for a rare and candid conversation about leadership at scale. We ask the question, "what does it actually take to lead one of Canada’s largest public institutions?". Breaking down how a $1.1+ billion organization functions, how decisions are made when students, faculty, government, and the broader community are all impacted, and why rankings alone don’t define a great university. From navigating COVID, strikes, and campus safety, to fostering trust and encouraging honest feedback, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at leadership when the stakes are real and public. We also explore Michael’s personal journey, from once believing law school was his path, to discovering economics, to becoming president without ever chasing the title. #204Rise #LeadershipPodcast #UniversityLeadership #MichaelBenarroch #UniversityOfManitoba #PublicLeadership #HigherEducation #LeadershipAtScale #CanadianLeadership #WinnipegPodcast #DecisionMaking #InstitutionalLeadership #Episode200
