    Prosh with Roshni Wijayasinha

    In this episode, we sit down with Roshni Wijayasinha, a marketing leader who shares how she went from an arts-focused high school student to building a career across some of the world’s biggest brands, and eventually founding her own company, Prosh Marketing! Roshni walks us through her early days launching digital products like TIFF’s first website and Windows Live SkyDrive at Microsoft (with just a $1,000 budget), and what she learned working at companies like Sony, Microsoft, and Kobo. We talk candidly about advocating for yourself, applying for roles before you feel fully qualified, and why passion, not perfection, is often what opens doors. Roshni also opens up about leadership as an introvert, how she manages energy while leading large teams, and why kindness and communication are at the core of the culture she’s built at Prosh Marketing, now home to over 100 fractional CMOs. If you’re building a career in marketing, thinking about leadership, or questioning whether you’re ready for your next step, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

  2. Figiúra

    Figiúra

    In this episode, we sit down with Jessica Johnson, the visionary behind Figiúra — a brand on a mission to redefine bras for women with implant-based augmented breasts. Figiúra was born out of Jessica’s personal journey: after getting breast augmentation, she struggled to find bras that felt comfortable, supportive, and flattering. From her lived experience, Jessica identified a glaring gap. Traditional bras weren’t designed for the unique shape, rigidity, and projection of augmented breasts — leaving many women limited to sports bras or ill-fitting bralettes. What began as her personal frustration turned into a broader conversation when she reached out to others; women in her community who had undergone augmentation (cosmetic, reconstructive, or restorative). The response was overwhelming: many shared the same problem. In the podcast, Jessica describes that moment as an awakening — realizing she wasn’t alone, and that there was a real underserved community calling out for better options. That collective need became the foundation for Figiúra. For additional content check out our website, www.powerinheels.ca Don't forget to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn

    Behind the Seams with Helene Clarkson

    In this episode we meet someone who turned travel frustrations into fashion innovation — Helene Clarkson, the founder and creative force behind the Canadian travel apparel brand heleneclarkson. Helene's journey is anything but ordinary. A seasoned actress who spent years traveling the world for work and pleasure, Helene realized there was a serious gap in the market: stylish, wrinkle-resistant, multi-purpose clothing that worked just as well in a business meeting as it did at an elegant dinner — all designed to fit into a carry-on. That insight sparked a big idea. In 2014, she launched her own clothing line, and what began with pop-up shops in Toronto has since grown into a global brand. In this episode, Helene opens up about what it really takes to build a clothing line from the ground up — the wins, the stumbles, and the surprising lessons she learned along the way. Whether you're dreaming of launching your own fashion label or simply curious about how great ideas are born and brought to life, this episode is for you.
