This episode of the Manitoba Inc. Podcast brings you a double dose of business wisdom. We first explore the topic of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), examining the Canadian perspective on recent pushback. Shreeraj Patel, co-founder of Seva Capital Canada Inc., joins us to discuss the data on how DEI drives profitability and innovation. The segment also includes an excerpt from a panel discussion at the QNET Back to the Future conference, featuring insights from Marty Maykut (Price Industries), Katie Hall Hursh (The Megill-Stephenson Company Limited), and Michelle Cameron (Dreamcatcher Promotions) on how embracing diversity of thought fuels success.

The next segment features a conversation with NFL legend Steve Young, who was in Winnipeg to receive The Associates of the Asper School of Business International Distinguished Entrepreneur Award (IDEA) for 2025. The Super Bowl-winning quarterback, now a private equity powerhouse, shares lessons on teamwork, culture, and the 'truest truth' of leadership in the business world.
