The looming threat of tariffs has Canada's premiers rolling up their sleeves. British Columbia Premier David Eby is calling for export bans on B.C. minerals as retaliation, while Alberta Premier Danielle Smith went alone to meet with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Kwantlen Polytechnic University instructor Jeff Meyers joins the show as we ask viewers about the best approaches to Trump's tariff threats. Next, CBC's new series Welcome to Canada surveyed more than 1,500 newcomers about their experience living in the country. It found that 82 per cent of respondents believe that Canada accepted too many immigrants with no planning for adequate housing and infrastructure. Neelam Sahota, CEO of DIVERSEcity, discusses the resources available as we ask new immigrants to tell us about their experiences.

Have you ever thought of what you could do if you had a vision to change the world just through loving people as Jesus would? Putting all things aside, the worries, the cares about finances, what job you're called to or even where to live. . . ALL of that stuff DEEPLY matters to Jesus of course he wants you to get where you want to get more than anyone else. He's always at work behind the scenes within our lives to direct our paths but also give us opportunities to be his hands and feet to others… and I believe it's his LOVE that will lead someone into being forward transformed and changed. B.Haley, former drummer for TobyMac and the DiverseCity band, is a visionary on a mission to unite the world through love. His journey from the streets of St. Louis to the stages of Christian music has been marked by a profound transformation. Seeing the lives of others impacted by Jesus it was during his time with TobyMac and the Diverse City band that God gave B a vision that he wasn't able to shake. A vision for our world to live united and come together. As challenging as that feels for today's society post covid, this vision is bigger than the division the enemy wants us to buy into: To put down the many differences that divide us and pick up the one thing that unites us—LOVE. *but not just any love. It's Jesus' love that will grab someone's heart and transform a life. Armed with a blazing passion to make this world a better place through unity, the We Are 1 Movement was birthed. Now, as the founder of the We Are 1 Movement, B emphasizes unity and service as pathways to change. Powered by Love We can do more together than we could ever do alone. B is a father of four, he combines personal anecdotes with a dynamic speaking style, inspiring audiences in business, communities, and families to embrace a life of purpose and connection.

Harvard Business Review published author and business researcher John Katsos prides himself in his international work in conflict zones, specifically Myanmar, Ukraine, Northern Ireland, Ethiopia, and Iraq. Witnessing the destructive effects of climate change and civil unrest, John Katsos has taken the lead in corporate responses such as ESG to make the world a better place.  ▶️ ESG Reporting in Conflict Zones with John Katsos: Key points discussed in the episode: ✔️ John Katsos describes his personal and professional background and his current projects. ✔️ John Katsos gives his insights on the issues driving migration like political turmoil and how it has escalated since civilization. He cites Syria as an example of drought acting hand-in-hand with armed conflict, compelling citizens to seek refuge in neighboring countries. ✔️Climate change is environmental destruction on a global scale. People continue to relocate to areas with employment and food, but such rapid changes take a toll on the environment. ✔️ Staying ethical in economic desperation is a real challenge for companies. Downward wage pressure happens when immigrants accept lower salaries for high-paying jobs. Some companies take advantage of the situation, even evading taxes to cut production costs and maximize profit. CEOs have to compete with such unethical practices. ✔️ John Katsos explains the role of a corporation when complying with ethical standards in conflict zones. Do no harm, and have a clear picture as to why you're operating there. ✔️ Ensure effective due diligence. If you can't adequately audit workers' conditions while doing business in conflict areas, always assume the worst. The best course of action is to withdraw and plan on shutting down your factories there. ✔️ Mass migration places people at risk of labor exploitation. John Katsos urges companies to thoroughly examine worker contracts and verify the content's authenticity. They must ensure no one is harmed as they operate in war-torn zones. ✔️ Reporting structures are in place - from international organizations and NGOs to academic institutions - to allow companies to achieve thorough environmental reporting. ✔️ The holy grail of John Katsos' work is gathering data about the direct impacts of conflict on business operations. It proves to be a challenge, as most information is collected from people's first-hand accounts and the number of casualties. ✔️ John Katsos emphasizes that fighting against corruption, bribery, and abuse in conflict zones is everyone's responsibility. John E. Katsos is an Associate Professor of Management. John researches business operations in conflict zones. He examines specifically how businesses can mitigate political risk and enhance peace in conflict and post-conflict zones. He is also one of the top global authors for business on the website Medium. John sits on the Boards of the UNGC UAE Local Network, the UNPRME Business for Peace Working Group, and DiverseCity, a social enterprise.

We are thankful for their honesty and openness to discuss the real things that really grow company culture. The show also reached some very honest and real discussions surrounding company culture when it comes to diversity and inclusion and supporting your people as real people with feelings. This show was also lighthearted and fun, with momma Maples (Kindra's mom Connie) in the studio as well. Company culture is deeper than just the values on the wall that people align with though. It is important to understand the others that you are working with as more than just what their job is. Who are they? We spend the majority of our days with the people that we work with, so why not understand them on a deeper level. It is also extremely important to understand the importance of diverse teams and make sure that everyone truly feels included and accepted. Once your company has been able to include diverse teammates and see them as people with feelings, then they can grow the culture of the company even further. There were so many great tidbits in this show, that people will definitely want to take a listen. Leaders get the teams they deserve Culture is the way and how things get done People simply want to be Once you have the taste of a company with a good culture you just can't go back. If you are a company that is trying to take your company culture to the next level, then you need to listen to the show. This podcast is for all leaders. Brian and Darren give examples, tips, and reasoning for the ways that they are helping to grow company culture. Both gentlemen are supporting companies in their journeys to grow company culture.

In this episode, I discuss the report that Tulsa is now a majority minority city. So, if that's the case doesn't that mean the minority is now the majority, so it isn't really a majority minority city? The implications are mind boggling, and kinda silly. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
