  • An inspiring podcast and a fantastic host.

    Tony has an uncommon ability to distill insight from every conversation and knows how to ask just the right questions. I love the guests he brings on the show, and specifically his ability to make guests and the audience think more deeply. He is a master of his craft and an exceptionally thoughtful human being, and I keep coming back to listen for that very reason.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Our World Needs More Sunshine
Q: So tell me a little bit about Pow Wow Pitch, how it came about and how big it's grown because now supports entrepreneurs across the entire Turtle Island.
Inspired by the doors Dragons' Den opened for her, Tenasco created Pow Wow Pitch to give Indigenous entrepreneurs a chance to pitch ideas, receive mentorship and access funding. In-person finalists pitch to judges after mentorship, and entrepreneurs can also participate online.
Our World Needs More Sunshine
Q: Is there a common thread that connects everything you do?
Tenasco says her work is rooted in Indigenous love and excellence, community, matriarchy and celebrating the goodness and vitality of Indigenous culture.
How does she do it? - Jody Steinhauer
Q: You saw a man who froze to death in a bus shelter. What happened, and how do we fix this?
Steinhauer asked shelter workers what the man had needed and was told a sleeping bag could have saved his life. She brought business leaders together with community members and service workers to assemble and distribute survival kits, a project that developed into a charity.
How does she do it? - Jody Steinhauer
Q: At 14, you discovered you had an unusual ability to sell. How did that come about, and what did that bring you as a young girl?
Steinhauer says she was a top seller of Girl Guide cookies and at retail jobs because she focused on helping people rather than pushing products. She also used systems and efficient methods to sell.
Make them Count - Andrew Black
Q: What do you look for from an individual that comes knocking on your door saying, I should be part of the whole BrandProject experience?
Black says BrandProject looks for founders with curiosity, drive, people skills, the ability to fundraise and recruit, agility, and a willingness to adapt their ideas without taking reckless risks.
