In this episode, we explore the challenges of achieving work-life balance while building a business from the ground up. Alex and Pat share insights on creating a unique, high-quality niche in Canada’s RV industry, their commitment to culture-focused hiring, and the irony of running an adventure brand while rarely having time for adventure themselves.

Welcome to Filming In Progress. The show takes you backstage into the world of local businesses and the people who make them shine. We are here to bring you candid conversations that unravel the challenges, victories and untold stories of those who dare make their mark. We’ll be delving into topics like innovation, leadership and personal growth, providing practical insights you won’t find in a business textbook. Grab your beverage of choice, kick back and get ready to intake the wisdom of founders who have been there, done that, and are still hungry for more.
