    The Itch Came Back: A Journey of Self-Discovery with Anita Grant, Founder of Hello Hair

    .What happens when the itch to build returns, but this time, it’s not about success, it’s about self-discovery?

From navigating the lessons of a “failed” startup to stepping into her purpose as a mother and founder, Anita opens up about redefining success, representation, and what it really means to build something rooted in meaning rather than metrics.

Dragons Den had Matt glued to the TV watching people pitch their ideas. Little did he know he would be one of those people. not on Dragons Den, but some who brings ideas to life! Years later, that moment became Toques From The Heart, a company turning upcycled hockey socks into purpose-driven winter wear. For every toque sold, another is donated to a Canadian in need. In this episode, Matt shares how his mom supported his creativity as boy and helped him start a business with very little upfront costs, how giving back became the company’s true north, and why his goal to donate 35,000 toques reflects more than just a number.

    What happens when “yes” becomes your strategy for opening doors? For Ryan Patrick Moran, every opportunity—from co-founding a coworking community to designing watches inspired by Hamilton’s history—started with a simple yes. A yes to uncertainty. A yes to community. And a yes to building something that didn’t exist yet. As a founding member of the Hamilton Hive, co-founder of CoMotion, and the creative force behind Locke & King, Ryan has spent his career bridging business and culture. He has been helping shape Hamilton’s entrepreneurial ecosystem while balancing the responsibility of taking over his family’s industrial business, Central Rail Supply. But his story isn’t just about success, it’s about being present enough to turn problems into purpose and finding freedom in the spaces where certainty doesn’t exist. In this episode, Ryan reflects on what it means to build community, manage legacy, and keep saying yes, even when the path isn’t clear. If you’ve ever wondered how to find opportunity in ambiguity or make impact in your own backyard, this conversation will make you rethink how growth really happens.
