    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.

  3. 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.

    Restoring Dignity & Rewriting Futures with Founder & Executive Director of Help A Girl Out, Yanique Brandford

    Is there a dark struggle following you? Maybe its time to solve it! Before she founded Help A Girl Out, Yanique Brandford was a teenager navigating period poverty—first in Jamaica, and then again in Canada. Same problem. Different country. She thought she left that behind. Today, her organization is tackling something that still affects 1 in 5 women and girls—lack of access to period products—through education, advocacy, and direct support across the country. But this episode isn’t just about the problem. It’s about faith, resilience, and building something that restores dignity—quietly, consistently, and at scale. Because sometimes the most powerful movements… are the ones hiding in plain sight.

    The Road to Freedom & Passu with Founder Youssef (Joseph) Assad

    What if the thing that held you back… became the thing you built your life around? For Youssef (Joseph) Assad, it started with a failure. A language test that stood between him and a new life. A system that didn’t feel built for people like him. And a decision to figure it out anyway. From traveling across Asia and rethinking how he lived, to learning French in under a year to accelerate his path to Canada, Joseph’s journey is one of persistence, reinvention, and clarity. Today, he’s the founder of Passu, a platform helping others prepare for the same high-stakes exams—this time with structure, support, and systems that actually work. This episode isn’t about looking like a founder. It’s about building something real, staying close to the problem, and having the endurance to keep going—even when doubt shows up. Because sometimes the path forward starts exactly where you struggled most.

    Where Play Meets Purpose with CEO & Co-Founder Deena Al-Sammak

    What do you rely on when you can’t see the full path ahead? For Deena Al-Sammak, the answer has always been faith. From throwing out business ideas as a kid to building a med-tech startup while still in university, Deena has learned to move forward without having everything figured out. Today, she’s the Co-Founder of Power of Play, a company reimagining how pediatric therapy is measured, turning something clinical into something engaging, meaningful, and built for children. But this conversation isn’t just about innovation. It’s about surrender, trust, and the discipline of taking the next step even when the outcome isn’t clear. It’s about building with purpose, letting go of control, and finding freedom in the unknown. Because sometimes the only thing you need to keep going… is just enough light to take the next step.
