“Youth living in remote Indigenous communities deserve the same choices as every other Canadian. We believe our connection and sharing #WeSeeYou with these youth helps them believe in more than just words in a text book.” -Dwight Ballantyne
Dwight Ballantyne grew up in Montreal Lake Cree Nation, a remote north Saskatchewan First Nation, until the age of 21. He always felt like he was invisible to the rest of the world. When a once in a lifetime opportunity to move to BC presented itself in 2016, he took a leap of faith and left everything he knew behind.
Upon adjusting to his new lifestyle, he realized that many of the new people he met did not even know what a reserve was. This realization instilled a desire to find a way to bridge the gap between remote Indigenous communities and the rest of Canada.
In 2019, Dwight founded The Ballantyne Project with the goal of raising awareness about what it was like to grow up in a remote First Nation.
As part of this goal, Dwight has created three unique and impactful presentations sharing Canadian Indigenous history and the challenges and barriers that he faced growing up. He is in the extremely rare position to offer his audience an opportunity to understand a segment of Canada’s population that rarely makes it into textbooks, popular media or social conversation.
Since January 2020, thousands of students have attended Dwight’s live presentations. He offers these presentations at School District Professional Days and at other organizations who seek to gain a deeper understanding of Canada’s history that currently affects youth and young adults living in remote First Nations today.

Life moves fast. Everywhere you go, every emotion that passes through you, and every event you experience is one you have in your body. It’s often not until your body doesn’t work as you’re used to until you realize you need to offer it more TLC. I share how this has come up for me lately and what’s been revealed as a result. This may be a message you need to hear right now too.

You've built a business and hit the goals that looked impressive from the outside.
And somewhere in the middle of it, you started wondering what it would feel like to grow…
That's the room this show holds.
Every week, Sheila brings the kind of conversation you'd have with a strategist who's been inside the systems, the identity work, the decisions that don't have a clean framework yet. An exchange built from decades of sitting across from founders navigating exactly this stretch.
You'll hear business strategy, leadership, profit, identity, and the shifting landscape of entrepreneurship, covered the way it actually shows up: tangled together, not in neat categories.
Solo episodes. Minisodes. Conversations with founders and leaders building with depth instead of noise.
This is for the founder who's done the surface-level work and is ready for something with more weight to it.
Come on in. This is the place to expand, lead steadier, and trust yourself more fully every time you press play.
New episodes Tuesdays and Thursdays.
