What happens when the path you thought you were on suddenly disappears? Do you quit, start over, or create something new entirely?

For Precious Aigbe, authenticity has always been the compass. From helping class mates, to community friends pass standardized language test to turning setbacks into stepping stones, his story is one of staying true to what you love. Even when life doesn’t go as planned.

As the founder of Lancity, Precious is building more than a platform—he’s building a language city. Through AI-powered tools and community-driven coaching, Lancity is helping immigrants and global learners prepare for the exams that open doors to new lives. But behind the product lies a deeper story: one about resilience, faith, and the belief that confidence can be built one step at a time.

In this episode, Precious reflects on how he leverages his own “brag sheet,” when doubt steps in but the calling to more forward is still very strong.

What if 'success' doesn’t make you happy? What if you can have the career, the home, the family; and still feel like something is missing?

That’s exactly where Nikki Milligan, a corporate executive, and Linda, the CEO of her household, found themselves. Both successful in their own worlds, both doing “everything right,” and yet both realizing that happiness wasn’t guaranteed. Their curiosity about the science of happiness brought them together, and from that partnership, Mingle & Marvel was born to be a Happiness Centre designed to help people stop waiting and start living with intention, purpose, and community.

But their journey wasn’t easy. When they launched their first event, no one showed up. What could have been the end became the beginning of something bigger. Instead of giving up, Nikki and Linda doubled down on their purpose: to help others practice happiness as a daily habit, supported by evidence-based tools and meaningful connections.

In this episode, they share how purpose drives true happiness, why failure became one of their greatest teachers, and what it really means to build happiness through community. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why don’t I feel happy even when everything looks good on paper?", this conversation is for you.

The most powerful inventions don’t just solve problems, they give people pieces of their lives back.

For Sydney Robinson, the spark was a capstone project in mechanical engineering to design an ankle foot orthosis for a young girl that allowed her to play on the beach with her friends. That moment planted the seed for a career dedicated to transforming mobility for amputees.

From a master’s in biomedical engineering to the elite Medical Innovation Fellowship, Sydney’s journey has been rooted in curiosity, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to problem-solving. Today, as co-founder of Vessl, she’s leading a team pioneering Kinn, an automatically adjusting prosthetic socket system designed to bring comfort, confidence, and freedom of movement to amputees.

In this episode, Sydney shares the moments that shaped her mission, the importance of remembering why you start, and how reinvention isn’t just a design philosophy, it’s a way of leading and living. Whether you’re an innovator, a healthcare professional, or someone navigating your own challenging path, her story will leave you inspired to keep moving forward.

For Primie Cegnar, entrepreneurship isn’t just about building a business, it’s about rebuilding yourself. As an immigrant from the Philippines, Primie came to Canada expecting opportunity, but quickly learned the struggle of navigating barriers to employment. Instead of giving up, she leaned into the entrepreneurial spirit passed down through her parents and grandparents, daring to carve out her own path.

Her latest venture, Aeon Stellar Commerce, is home to StellaEats, an AI-powered nutrition-first food marketplace designed for people with food allergies, chronic illness, and cultural dietary needs. More than a business, it’s a system of care built on community, purpose, and a belief that everyone deserves access to food that supports their healing.

In this episode, Primie shares how she turned personal struggle into vision, why community is at the center of everything she builds, and what it really means to grieve old versions of yourself while creating something entirely new. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to keep going after a big pause, to stop or go, this story will remind you that sometimes resilience is the greatest innovation of all.

For Kamran Ahmad, it started in childhood, working in his dad’s computer shop and creating his own co-op placement when opportunities didn’t exist. Those experiences taught him resilience, problem-solving, and the power of curiosity.

What began as the simple act of dehumidifying his basement eventually grew into Hydrosphair: a pioneering company using atmospheric water generation technology to turn air into fresh, clean drinking water. Today, Hydrosphair is helping off-grid homes, tiny houses, farmers, disaster relief teams, and industries around the world access water in sustainable ways by proving innovation can flow from the most unexpected places.

In this episode, Kamran shares the lessons he’s learned as a founder, how listening to customers drives continuous innovation, and why clean water isn’t just a commodity, it’s a human right. His story is one of curiosity turned into purpose, and purpose turned into a company with the potential to change lives globally.

Before MERIT Brewing, before reshaping Hamilton’s downtown, Tej Sandhu was chasing a different dream: music. His first curiosity led him into the world of producing, where he discovered the thrill of creating culture and community through sound. That spark eventually grew into a career defined not by one industry, but by a guiding principle: to build spaces that bring people together.

From his grandfather’s furniture store in Nanaimo that inspired MERIT’s name, to his own ventures in music, real estate, and hospitality, Tej has never let traditional markers like age, education, or experience hold him back. Instead, he followed his instincts and carved out a path that worked for him. Today, MERIT Brewing is a brewery, kitchen, and bottle shop that reflects the heart, art, and soul of Hamilton. A place where history, innovation, and community come together.

In this episode, Tej shares his entrepreneurial journey, the family roots that continue to guide him, and why keeping his north star in sight has been the key to building not just businesses, but culture, community and impact!
