    Motivation just isn't enough with Isabelle Hill Co-Founder of Healthy Habits Coaches

    What if changing your life had less to do with motivation—and more to do with learning how to take the next small step? In this episode, I sit down with Isabelle Hill, Co-Founder of Healthy Habits Coaches, to explore why sustainable change is so much harder—and so much more human—than we think. What began as a desire to better support one client through an unexpected health transition evolved into a bigger question: How do we actually help people change when life changes faster than they expect? Grounded in decades of behavioural science and coaching research, Isabelle shares why progress isn’t built through pressure, intensity, or perfection—it’s built through understanding people, reframing setbacks, and creating momentum through small consistent actions. But this conversation goes beyond health. We talk about outgrowing old dreams, allowing yourself to evolve, and how sometimes the greatest transformation isn’t becoming someone new—it’s becoming more aligned with who you’re becoming. Because change rarely happens overnight. But enough small steps can change everything.

    Opening doors for entrepreneurs faster with Megan Tuck & Alban Jerome from York Angel Investors

    Can Canada compete globally without changing how we support and reward entrepreneurs? In this episode, we sit down with Megan Tuck and Alban Jerome from York Angel Investors to explore their platform designed to accelerate entrepreneurship by creating faster, more meaningful connections across the ecosystem—opening doors for everyone from side-hustle founders to companies with 100x growth ambitions. This conversation goes beyond fundraising. We unpack what Canada’s innovation ecosystem gets right, where friction still exists, and why access to opportunity often matters just as much as access to money. From building stronger founder–investor relationships to using technology to create faster, more meaningful connections, Megan and Alban share what they believe the next era of entrepreneurship in Canada could look like. At the heart of it all is a bigger question: How do we create an environment where ambitious founders don’t just start here—but choose to stay and build here? Because thriving companies rarely happen in isolation. They happen in ecosystems built to help them grow.

    Keeping an eye on what's next with Samuel Ayo Oyedemi Co-Founder of Skaap

    Have you been looking for something? An answer, an exit, a new direction? This weeks guest always has an eye on what's next. For Samuel Ayo Oyedemi, innovation isn’t about creating more technology—it’s about creating better experiences for people. As Co-Founder of SKAAP, Samuel is helping reshape the future of retail through AI-powered food intelligence and frictionless shopping experiences that give consumers more transparency while helping retailers stay competitive in a rapidly changing world. But this conversation goes far beyond grocery stores and mobile checkout. We talk about building in ecosystems that reward innovation, why sometimes opportunities require looking beyond your own backyard, and the challenge of balancing ambition with values. Samuel shares reflections on leadership, respect, faith, and the importance of creating boundaries that allow businesses—and people—to grow sustainably. At its core, this episode asks a bigger question: What happens when we stop building for technology’s sake… and start building for people? Because the best innovation doesn’t replace humanity. It helps us make better choices.

  4. Filling the real world skills in Education with Ritu Jhaveri CEO and Founder of Deschool Online Inc

    Filling the real world skills in Education with Ritu Jhaveri CEO and Founder of Deschool Online Inc

    Is the education system failing students? For Ritu Jhaveri, education has never been about memorizing answers—it's about preparing young people for the real world. After building a successful career in education across multiple countries, Ritu made the difficult decision to leave behind the security of a steady paycheck, immigrate to Canada, and build something entirely new. Today, through Deschool, she's helping bridge the gap between what students learn in school and the skills they'll need to thrive in life. In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore the changing landscape of education, the growing tension between technology and engagement, and why countries like Sweden are reintroducing textbooks into classrooms after years of digital-first learning. But this episode goes beyond education. It's about values. The principles that guide us when no one is watching. The courage to build with integrity. And the belief that whether you're raising a company, a classroom, or a family, strong foundations matter. Because the future isn't built by what we know. It's built by what we're willing to learn and do!

    Lighting shit on fire with Navkiren Ghag Co-Founder of Throne Room Inc

    Have you ever been told you're "too much"—too ambitious, too driven, too outspoken—only to realize those same traits were actually your greatest strengths? For Navkiren Ghag, entrepreneurship became more than building a business. It became a journey of self-discovery. From painting nails for classmates as a child, to managing the pressure of air traffic control, to co-founding Throne Room alongside her partner Chris, she's spent her life solving problems and stepping into leadership long before she had a title for it. Together, Navkiren and Chris are bringing a forgotten Canadian innovation back to life—a sanitation solution that provides safe, affordable, and sustainable access for people living beyond traditional infrastructure. But beneath the business story is something even more powerful. It's a conversation about growth, resilience, servant leadership, and learning to embrace the qualities others may have misunderstood. One of the most memorable moments of the episode comes when Chris reflects on something Navkiren had heard her whole life—that she was "bossy"—and offers a different perspective entirely. Sometimes the traits we're told to tone down are the very ones we're meant to lean into. And sometimes, entrepreneurship gives us the opportunity to finally see ourselves clearly.

  6. The Obvious Key to Happiness, Health & Longevity with Pete Bombaci, Founder and CEO of GenWell

    The Obvious Key to Happiness, Health & Longevity with Pete Bombaci, Founder and CEO of GenWell

    What if one of the greatest threats to our health isn't what we're eating, drinking, or breathing, but how disconnected we've become from one another? For Pete Bombaci, Founder and CEO of GenWell, the answer to a happier, healthier society isn't found in another app, device, or life hack. It's found in something fundamentally human: connection. In this powerful conversation, Pete shares why social health may be one of the most overlooked pillars of well-being and how our relationships with family, friends, neighbours, coworkers, and community shape everything from our happiness to our longevity. Reflecting on moments like the 2003 blackout—when screens went dark and communities came alive—Pete explores what we've gained through technology, what we've lost through isolation, and why rebuilding meaningful human connections has never been more important. This episode is a reminder that success means little without people to share it with, and that a better future starts by strengthening the ties that bind us together. Because at the end of the day, we're not meant to do life alone.

    Built on Love, Bottled with Purpose with CEO & Sauce Engineer Robert Robinson from Robinson Sauces

    How much of who we are gets passed down through food? For Robert Robinson, Robinson Sauces was never just about BBQ sauce. It was about family. Legacy. Love. And finding a way to bottle the memories and encouragement that shaped him—especially from his mother, whose influence continues to live through every jar of Sweet Joyce Pineapple. Joined by his brother Derrick and his son Cole, this episode becomes something much deeper than business. It’s a conversation about purpose, pressure, identity, and the people who push you forward and create spaces to help you shine. From family dynamics and living in the shadow of others, to discovering confidence through creativity and food, the Robinson family shares the heart behind a brand built on “heat with purpose.” And somewhere between the wings, the laughter, and the reflection… you realize this episode was never really about sauce at all. Its love on all levels. Follow them: Facebook: Robinsonsauces Instagram: @Robinsonsauces Website: www.robinsonsauces.ca Join the Buzz: Know an entrepreneur we should be making a buzz about?

    Going to the School of hard knocks with Chance Mutuku Founder / Creative Director Bbbblanc* Studio

    What happens when the future you imagined for yourself suddenly disappears? For Chance Mutuku, life has always required reinvention. Born in the middle of war, raised by a hardworking mother after losing his father young, and driven by a relentless curiosity that carried him from national-level wrestling to the world of design and storytelling. Chance has spent his life learning how to rebuild through creativity, discipline, and faith. Today, as the Founder and Creative Director of BBBBLANC Studio*, Chance helps purpose-driven brands and organizations turn ideas into meaningful digital and physical experiences. But behind the work is a deeper belief: that creativity is more than aesthetics—it’s service, impact, and responsibility. In this episode, we talk about identity, resilience, faith, and the moments that force you to reimagine who you are. From wrestling for Canada to collaborating on projects with Adidas, Chance shares how every chapter of his life prepared him to bridge the worlds of business, art, and purpose. Because sometimes the greatest creativity comes not from having a perfect path… but from learning how to create one.
