Rebuilding Canadian Manufacturing, One Food Brand at a Time | Sheena Russell, Made with Local

Canada is rich in natural resources and grows extraordinary food. Yet much of the processing and value creation still happens elsewhere. What happens when founders decide to build differently, and keep more of the process closer to home? In this episode of Builders & Believers, Amanda sits down with Sheena Russell, founder and CEO of Made with Local, a Canadian snack company built around locally sourced ingredients, partnerships with farmers and food producers, and a belief that business can strengthen both communities and supply chains. What started at a small farmer’s market table in Nova Scotia has grown into a nationally recognized brand found in more than 3,000 retailers across Canada, while choosing a harder path: manufacturing at home and building closer to the source. Together, Amanda and Sheena explore a bigger question emerging across Canada: What would it take to rebuild more manufacturing capacity here at home and what role can entrepreneurs play in that future? They unpack:• The realities behind Canadian food processing and manufacturing capacity• Why “Made in Canada” is more complicated than it sounds• Building a purpose-led company while staying focused on profitability• What founders can learn about resilience, priorities, and long-term growth This is a conversation about entrepreneurship, manufacturing, food systems, and building businesses that create impact beyond the product itself.

From War Zones to Good News: Building Hope in a Fear-Driven World | Muhammad Lila, Goodable

What if the content shaping you’re thinking every day is quietly shaping your leadership and your business outcomes? And what if building hope isn’t soft… but strategic? In this episode of Builders & Believers, Amanda Stassen sits down with Muhammad Lila, former CNN war zone correspondent turned founder of Goodable. After years reporting from conflict zones, Muhammad began questioning why so much of what we consume amplifies fear. With no clear roadmap, he started with a conviction, a simple prototype, and one idea: change the inputs, change the outcome. Today, that idea has scaled into AI-powered technology reaching millions. In this conversation, we unpack:<ul><li>How media consumption shapes mental health, and directly impacts how leaders think and decide</li><li>Why most media is skewed toward negativity, and the downstream effect on culture, behavior, and performance</li><li>How Goodable identified a missed market truth: people don’t just consume content, they’re shaped by it</li><li>Why founders stall by focusing on monetization too early, and how starting with impact creates traction and growth</li><li>How a simple prototype became proof enough to unlock a scalable business model reaching millions</li></ul> This isn’t about ignoring reality or painting rose-coloured pictures, it’s about recognizing that what people see shapes how they think, how they act, and ultimately what your business becomes, and deciding whether you reinforce fear or build something stronger.

Why More Cars Won’t Solve Mobility | Sandra Phillips of Modo

What happens when the obvious solution isn’t actually the solution? Electric vehicles promise a cleaner future. But replacing every gas car with an electric one won’t solve congestion, affordability, or how cities actually move. In this episode of Builders & Believers, Amanda Stassen sits down with Sandra Phillips, CEO of Modo, to explore what it takes to build better mobility systems when affordability, infrastructure, convenience, and sustainability all have to work together. From launching carshare in North America to building her own mobility consultancy and now leading a long-running co-op, Sandra shares what it looks like to create change across corporate, entrepreneurial, and operational environments. Rather than focusing on outcomes alone, this conversation explores what it looks like to build while the path is still unfolding, where communities need more choice, legacy models need to evolve, and leaders have to keep making decisions before the system is fully solved. You’ll hear how Sandra navigated:• building new mobility options inside existing systems• the trade-off between convenience, sustainability, and affordability• creating belief in alternatives before adoption was mainstream• moving from intrapreneur to entrepreneur to operator Because building something that matters takes both the builder and the believer.
