Minhas, welcome to RIMScast! [411] Manjit loves risk professionals and loves working with them. She is very excited to speak to risk professionals from many industries at the RIMS Canada Conference 2025. [4:27] Manjit has worked with risk professionals in her companies and through the boards she sits on and the companies she advises or invests in. She sees a variety of talents and skills in risk professionals. They have a technical expertise and a strong foundation in methodologies. [5:01] Manjit says risk professionals identify not just the basic operational and financial risks but strategic risks and mitigation risks. There is so much M&A happening in every sector. Their technical expertise is very important. [5:22] Manjit explains, they are really good at data analysis and modeling, and making that data and a large volume of information into something that matters, that decision-makers can use to make great decisions, and think about the pros, the cons, and sometimes the blind spots. [5:57] The risk officers Manjit hires have her ear. She always likes them to be at the table. She wants their perspective beforehand rather than after. They are good at listening, taking it all in, succinctly communicating, and helping with stakeholder management. [6:18] Manjit believes that with their business acumen and their wealth of knowledge from so many parts of the business, risk managers should be at the table all the time. She wants their input from the outset. [6:42] Manjit believes that more business leaders with that viewpoint are coming up. It's a matter of how long you've been an entrepreneur or founder. Manjit has been an entrepreneur for 26 years. She and her brother started when she was 19. The drinking age in Canada is 18. [6:58] Manjit was studying engineering at the University of Calgary and came up with the idea of getting into the private label spirits business, and a couple of years later, the beer business. They started as a sales, marketing, and branding company, and then got into manufacturing. [7:16] It went step by step. It was not overnight, by any means. She just started young and has been at it for a long time. With that time comes experience, knowledge, and understanding that there are a lot of smarter people than she, that she needs to collect around the table. [7:34] At year four or five, she didn't have the same perspective she has now. Founders and entrepreneurs in early stages are still figuring it out and don't have the resources to have the same perspective as Manjit. As they gain self-awareness, they look to risk professionals. [8:14] As a 19-year-old, Manjit says she had no concept of risk. She didn't have money or a reputation at risk. Now, she has a lot more of those things, plus a list of a dozen more, that are at risk. A young person doesn't think they're risking anything other than time and energy. [8:48] Manjit thinks time definitely makes all of us a bit smarter.  [8:52] The risk professionals working for Manit work under the legal department. [9:42] Manjit talks about her risk professionals. As a business owner, you want to have the confidence that you have someone there identifying risks, assessing the impact, prioritizing risks, developing mitigation plans, and assigning responsibility. The list goes on. [10:18] In this day and age, things are changing so fast, from policy, regulation, and the labor environment. There's a long list of things that companies need to be aware of. They can't just close their eyes. They have to have a plan. [10:47] Manjit is an optimist. She wakes up thinking that where there is a challenge, there is an opportunity. She believes that when things are tough, there are a lot of problems to solve. That's when great businesses are born. Great entrepreneurs are good at solving and discovering. [11:29] RIMS Events!

[12:31] Let's Return to Our Interview with RIMS Canada Conference 2025 Opening Keynote, Manjit K. Minhas!  [12:41] Minhas products include a beer for Trader Joe's, and a fair number of private-label, controlled-label, and white-label brands throughout North America, including food service. If you've had a beer-battered onion ring or French fry on the East Coast, you've had Minhas beer. [13:28] Minhas has a diverse business within the liquor industry. [13:37] Manjit discusses reputational risk. There is reputational risk in any consumer-facing business. She says, often, what separates you from the flurry of competitor advertising is taking some risks with your brand image. [14:15] She shares an example of making a decision early on that was to get noticed, but also to protect the Minhas brand. Marketing professionals are more forward-thinking, and risk professionals are more conservative. Manjit comes to a happy middle-ground decision. [15:40] Final Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [15:58] Since 1999, Spencer has awarded over $2.9 million to create more than 570 Risk Management Internships. The Internship Grants application process is now open through October 15th, 2025. [16:14] To be eligible, risk managers must be based in the U.S., Canada, or Bermuda. A link to the Internship Grants page is in this episode's show notes. You can always visit SpencerEd.org, as well. [16:28] Let's Conclude Our Interview with RIMS Canada Conference 2025 Opening Keynote, Manjit Minhas! [16:39] Manjit states that innovation is one of the fun parts of R&D. Manjit talks about different vodkas and beers. Innovation has a financial and reputational cost, and the cost of pushing away another product from retail shelves, for a variety of marketing reasons. [17:40] There are a lot of reasons you don't want to innovate and upset the apple cart. The risk professionals help by getting the metrics for the decision. When will you see if the risk is paying off? It's an art. There are a lot of people involved, so that leadership can make a decision. [18:33] Manjit says there are a lot of nerves in the launch phase of innovation, after being in business this long. It's different when you're new. Once it's out and Manjit sees the execution phase, that's when she gets excited. All of the pieces of the puzzle have come together. [19:18] When Manjit started the business, it was super cool to see her brand offered on the menu or in the bar. It still is, going to the grocery store with her daughter and seeing their craft sodas. Her daughter went up and turned the bottles so the logos were forward-facing. [19:40] It never gets old. Her brother is the same way. They send photos to each other all the time. They package 600 cans a minute at all their facilities. It's a big operation. But to Manjit and her brother, it's like it's still the two of them against the world. [20:29] It's the drive to keep winning that gets Manjit up every day. Minhas is the 9th largest brewery in North America. How are they to keep climbing that ladder and keep getting better, compared to themselves? [20:53] Some Minhas facilities in the States offer tours. But they have secrets they want to protect. It's a very competitive industry. [21:23] Manjit explains operational resilience and risk strategy in the light of supply chain disruptions and tariffs. It's something we all need to look at and not take for granted. Look at critical operations, people, facilities, technology, third-party dependencies, ownership, and more. [22:08] They look at every part of that as to how they can be resilient and be better than their competitor, and do it more efficiently, quicker, with faster adaptation, and recover when things don't go right. Everybody is a part of it. They're doing more scenario testing than ever before. [22:44] Minhas is looking at different impacts and how long they can get through them. What are the tolerance levels? Their culture is more transparent to both issues, where they are winning and where they are not. Manjit lists the many types of business resilience. [23:26] If your business is not looking at using technology and AI to your advantage, what are you doing? Resilience is more than the easy definition. [23:57] How does Manjit keep a consistent approach to risk across all her verticals? It's communication. Manjit doesn't think there is such a thing as too much communication. Ideas have to be shared. It has to be a collaborative space to understand everything that comes. [24:25] A lot of people know Manjit from Dragon's Den. She has been on for 10 years and just finished filming her 11th season, which is airing soon. She'll let people take selfies with her. [25:11] Some of what to expect from Manjit on September 15th, in Calgary: She'll talk about her story, lessons learned, mentorship, the courage, skills, and talents that have brought her success, and fun stories about leadership. [25:37] Manjit will give some advice on how to build confidence, self-awareness, negotiation, and lots of fun things. She will leave about 15 minutes for an open Q&A session. She always enjoys learning what people in the audience are wondering. It's fun! [26:08] We look forward to seeing you on September 15th, 9:00 a.m. In Calgary! It's been such a pleasure to meet you!

 ✅ Understand why investors are shifting to U.S. markets ✅ Learn how to raise capital and structure bigger deals ✅ Hear what it takes to put 5,000 investors in a room with A-listers Ever wonder what it takes to build Canada's biggest investing conference? My old friend Seth Ferguson, returns to the show, after losing all his rental properties to a nasty divorce along with his golf clubs, he started the Multifamily Conference in Covid in 2022 which was excellent, 2023 was headlined by Grant Cardone & Alex Rodriguez, 2024 Wolf of Wall Street Jordan Belfort and Robert Harjevic.  Today, Seth takes us behind the scenes of how he scaled from a couple hundred person real estate event into a 5,000-attendee juggernaut, easily Canada's largest Business & Investment event. With speakers like Kevin O'Leary, A-Rod, Dragons Dens: Michelle Romanow, and Manjit Minhas, and still another major speaker yet to be announced. Powerhouse is an apt name for the event.  Same for the budget! We dive into marketing, event growth, and how Seth landed some of the biggest names in business. For details and to register go to: https://powerhouseconference.com/ The event takes place May 23-25th in Toronto. We also get into Seth's own real estate portfolio and his shift away from Canadian rentals to focus exclusively on multifamily investments in landlord-friendly U.S. markets like Texas and Florida. Seth and his team specialize in garden-style multifamily properties—low-rise, landscaped apartment communities that are common in the U.S. but virtually unheard of in Canada, where high-rise towers dominate. He shares what makes these assets so attractive, how they're managed, and why he's also drawn to build-to-rent communities and why he's bullish in places like Florida and Texas.

“Sometimes allyship doesn't look like stepping up, it looks like stepping back and inviting others to the table,” says Camille Dundas, Principal Educator for The IDEA Practice Inc. “Statistics show that industries across the board could make serious gains in revenue per year through diversity, inclusion, and belonging efforts, but despite throwing millions of well-intentioned dollars at DE&I programs, underrepresented groups struggle to get their foot in the door, and when they do, they almost never make it up in the ranks. Something doesn't add up." Dundas joins host Manjit Minhas to discuss her journey and the power of diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I). She is a DE&I consultant specializing in allyship and anti-racism education, and also the Editor-in-Chief of Canada's largest Black online magazine ByBlacks.com. Dundas has been named among the top 100 Black Canadian Accomplished Women, and her pursuit of truth as a journalist has led to years of research into the untold stories of Black Canadian history and the persistence of anti-Black racism in Canada.  Topics they cover include: 0:00: Camille's Story: “That's when I started realizing how important words were.” 8:25: Discrimination to determination: “I started noticing little things that I couldn't quite explain.” 13:35: Practicing allyship: “No matter your identity, you will need an ally at some point.” 27:50: Diversity, equity + inclusion in the workplace: “Nobody fits into one single category, and we're influenced by our socialization experiences, culture and background.” 33:20: Becoming an entrepreneur: “To see someone succeeding in a field that you didn't think was for you makes a big difference in your choices.” 43:20: Closing: “We have to be very transparent with younger women when they ask us for advice.” Presented by IG Wealth Management Learn more at ig.ca/women The views, information and opinions expressed are those of the featured guests, and not necessarily those of IG Wealth Management

She joins Manjit Minhas on A Wealth of Women's Stories to discuss her outlook on life, her path to entrepreneurship and her volunteerism. She's raised more than $1.8 million for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and thousands more for other charities.

Most recently, she served on the board of Small Business B.C. and is a regular guest presenter at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in the fashion design and marketing program, and also, has sat on their advisory board. Topics they cover include: 0:00: Jen's Story: “It doesn't seem like a natural path from competing in windsurfing and teaching snowboarding to a career in fashion retail.” 6:20: Experience as your key to success: “It's a really great way to become successful, to get paid to learn.” 12:30: Embedding your values into your business: “We all share a similar commitment to the brand and what it stands for.” 16:40: The importance of authenticity: “People are craving loyalty and trust, and they also seek things that align with their values.” 27:10: The impact of volunteerism + socializing: “The height of your success is equal to the depth of your gratitude.” Presented by IG Wealth Management Learn more at ig.ca/women The views, information and opinions expressed are those of the featured guests, and not necessarily those of IG Wealth Management

“I thought, ‘Wait a second. Women own the voting power. We own the buying power. Why aren't we harnessing that to reverse this ridiculous cycle of war and poverty?'," says Barb Stegemann, founder of The 7 Virtues, a company that sources organic, fair trade essential oils from nations rebuilding after war or strife. “We were a clean and social enterprise before there was a word for it, really. I felt if people are going to help me help these farmers, I'm not going to put harmful chemicals in their perfumes.”   Stegemann joins host Manjit Minhas and discusses her compelling story of overcoming adversity through the power of stoic wisdom. She has been named one of Canada's 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada. She won the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year in Emerging Category Award. She's ranked in Profit Magazine's Top 30 in Cool, Fabulous Canadian Entrepreneurs, and she's the author of the bestselling book The 7 Virtues of a Philosopher Queen, as well as a subject of the feature-length documentary Perfume War.   Topics they cover include: 0:00: Barbs's Story: “I didn't fit the cookie cutter as a woman.” 7:50: Rising above obstacles: “Realize it's never over. It's never over and also, never rest on your laurels.” 20:35: The 7 Virtues book: “If we're going to walk in those arenas as women, we do need to understand the language and then shape the language.” 28:55: Staying true to your beliefs: “Don't take criticism from people you would never go to advice for.” 37:25: Social entrepreneurship + well-being: “Don't stay in motion; move to action.”   Presented by IG Wealth Management Learn more at ig.ca/women   The views, information and opinions expressed are those of the featured guests, and not necessarily those of IG Wealth Management

Wherever you find yourself in the world of business, you had to have started somewhere. Often these stories get overshadowed by an entrepreneur's current success.

As you ascend in the world of business, it's important never to forget where you came from. Being a leader comes from many years of overcoming challenges, adversities and obstacles.

Dr. Dagher speaks with Manjit today about her difficult childhood, starting a new life in a new country, being a woman in the tech industry, and how she as a leader is always giving back.

“We are all worthy of wealth, we are worthy of abundance, that includes you, that includes me, that includes everyone,” says Vanessa Bowen, Founder of Mint Worthy in the ninth episode of A Wealth of Women's Stories. Bowen is not your average money coach, and Mint Worthy is not just another personal finance coaching platform. She says there is more to money than just the numbers. “I really wanted to create lasting financial change for my clients,” says Bowen. “I didn't want to just put a Band-Aid on it and say, ‘Here's your budget, here's your savings and investment plan, go run with it'. I wanted to make sure we got to the root of what created the financial life that they're living in today.” As a Chartered Professional Accountant, Vanessa spent almost a decade in the accounting industry helping corporations in North America make sense of their numbers. She made the leap from corporate number crunching to personal finance for two reasons: One - she wasn't built for a career of cubicles and calculators and, two - she knows first-hand how financial independence can change a woman's life. She joins host Manjit Minhas to share her energetic and relatable approach to financial literacy and inspire women to live life on their own financial terms. Bowen has been featured as a money expert on CBC, Global news, Breakfast Television and the Toronto Star.

On today’s podcast, I’m interviewing entrepreneur, Dragon investor, and new podcast host ! I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t starstruck while interviewing Manjit since I am a huge fan of CBC’s Dragon’s Den.

Manjit Minhas is the co-founder and owner of Minhas Breweries, Distilleries, and Wineries with her brother Ravinder Minhas. Since starting her business at the ripe age of 19 years old, Manjit has gone on to grow her business portfolio, which includes over 30 Canadian businesses stemming from the 6 seasons she’s been a Dragon investor on CBC’s Dragon’s Den. In November 2020 she decided to hit record on her conversations with fellow business leaders and CEOs by way of her podcast, “The Manjit Minhas Podcast” so that she could share their stories and insights into achieving success.

We got a mix of everything on this week's episode of New Theory Radio. Host Nav Nanwa welcomes Bianca and Maliha from youth organization STAY WOKE. They were recipients of grant funding through the Access Charity Bright Ideas pitch competition - with the group’s mission being around intersecting social/global issues with creative mediums. The three of them talk about what it means to be woke, while both Bianca and Maliha share a theory on the role youth engagement can play within this current pandemic. Then, Nav digs deep into the New Theory Radio hard drive archives and shares two unreleased interviews/discussions: The first is with Entrepreneur/Dragon's Den TV show personality Manjit Minhas. Manjit is the founder of the Alberta-based Minhas Breweries, and in this interview she share's some advice to entrepreneurs who are thinking about entering an established market/category. The second is a fireside conversation Nav had with electronic music group kLoX. The group consists of NTR alum Gurpreet 'The Tabla Guy' Chana and producer Robert Mason. kLoX can be described as modulated Tabla and electronically processed Violin melodically uniting during a live PA performance. Both Gurpreet and Robert share perspectives on the disruption that takes place when mixing technology in with traditional musical instruments, and why this is the future. Both of these conversations are great for anyone looking to be inspired during these trying times.
