What if saving a home could help save the planet and a family in need?

We tear down 600 beautiful homes every year… That seems incredibly wasteful. Not just from a materials perspective. From a human one.” — Glyn Lewis

On this episode of Chatter That Matters, I sit down with Glyn Lewis, a man who’s not just talking about sustainability—he’s building it, one rescued home at a time. As founder of Renewal Development, Glyn turns wrecking balls into hope machines. Instead of demolishing homes, he relocates them—beautiful, character-filled properties—into communities that need housing now. It’s a story of purpose and possibility. Of disruption, not destruction.

And joining us is Leah Robinson, VP of Home Equity Financing at RBC, with a sharp lens on how Canada’s largest bank is reimagining the idea of home—through multigenerational financing, innovative lending models, and support for sustainable living.

Glyn Lewis, a dreamer and doer who sees our world and ask, “What if we did it differently?”
