About the Podcast
Reconciliation in Business: Creating Partnerships, Prosperity, and Change
Reconciliation in Business is a podcast dedicated to exploring how the Canadian business landscape is being reshaped by reconciliation — not as a symbolic gesture, but as a powerful economic opportunity. Through in-depth interviews, storytelling, and real-world case studies, the show brings forward the voices of Indigenous entrepreneurs, innovators, corporate leaders, and community builders who are carving a new path toward shared prosperity.
At its heart, the podcast exists to answer one question:
What does real economic reconciliation look like, and how can businesses become part of it?
Our Purpose
Reconciliation cannot move forward without economic inclusion. Business is one of the strongest tools we have to empower communities, strengthen partnerships, and build a future where Indigenous and non-Indigenous people succeed together.
This program was created to:
Highlight success stories that prove reconciliation works
Share challenges honestly so others can learn and improve
Provide practical insights for businesses ready to take action
Amplify Indigenous leadership, innovation, and worldviews
Inspire bold partnerships that create measurable impact
The podcast positions reconciliation not as a compliance task or a checkbox, but as a driver of innovation, competitive advantage, and long-term economic growth.
Themes We Explore
The podcast covers a wide range of topics, including:
Procurement with Purpose — integrating Indigenous suppliers and value chains
Indigenous Entrepreneurship — innovation and impact from the ground up
Corporate Leadership — how executives embed reconciliation into governance
Finance & Investment — pathways for capital to reach Indigenous ventures
Innovation & Technology — together bridging Indigenous knowledge & emerging tech
Workforce Inclusion — hiring, developing, and advancing Indigenous talent
Partnerships that Work — collaborations that produce real, lasting results
Beyond Compliance — moving from statements to authentic relationships
Every topic is explored with both courage and humility — acknowledging the historical realities while looking forward to what’s possible.
Why This Podcast Matters
Reconciliation is often talked about as a social responsibility — but in this space, we uncover why it’s also a powerful business strategy. Companies that build strong Indigenous partnerships experience:
Fresh innovation
Expanded markets
Stronger teams
Better governance
Increased trust
Long-term sustainability
Reconciliation in business isn’t only the right thing to do —
it’s good business.
This podcast shows you how and why.
What You’ll Walk Away With
Every episode leaves listeners feeling:
Inspired by what’s possible
Grounded in Indigenous perspectives and knowledge
Informed by real examples and expert insights
Equipped with practical actions to implement
Motivated to make reconciliation part of everyday business operations
Reconciliation is not a distant idea.
It’s happening now — in boardrooms, workshops, investment pitches, co-working spaces, and communities across Canada.
This podcast brings those stories to the surface.
