   Ep 36 - Sim Bains

   🎙️ This week on Shit My Dad Taught Me, we sit down with Sim Bains — architect, designer, entrepreneur, and founder of All Eyes On Me. Sim’s work lives at the intersection of space, culture, and human experience. As the driving force behind All Eyes On Me, he’s redefining what luxury eyewear and optometry can feel like — not just through product, but through emotion, environment, and intention. Born in Windsor and raised in Tecumseh, Sim took a non-traditional path early on. He left university before completing his degree, choosing instead to bet on himself and chase a calling in the optical world — long before entrepreneurship was trendy. That decision set the foundation for a career built on instinct, discipline, and an uncompromising eye for detail. From launching his first boutique at a young age to establishing a flagship presence in Toronto’s Yorkville district, Sim has created immersive, jewel-box-style spaces featuring curated eyewear from global icons like Cartier, alongside collaborations with art, fashion, and lifestyle brands. With private showrooms, elevated hospitality, and exclusive events, All Eyes On Me has become more than a retail experience — it’s a destination. Today, the brand operates three locations across Yorkville, Oakville, and Milton, supported by a tight-knit team of optometrists and front-of-house staff all aligned around Sim’s vision of excellence. He’s not chasing trends — he’s setting standards. Most importantly, Sim is also a father of two. In this conversation, we go beyond architecture and business to talk about fatherhood, legacy, balance, and how becoming a dad has reshaped how he builds, leads, and lives. This episode is a masterclass in modern luxury, intentional leadership, and the quiet lessons that shape who we become.

   Ep 35 - Robin Yates

   In this episode of Shit My Dad Taught Me, we sit down with Robin Yates, a quiet force behind some of the most respected outerwear brands in Canada and around the world. Robin is a seasoned brand builder and operator whose career spans performance apparel, global brand strategy, and disciplined execution. He was appointed CEO of Woods, one of Canada’s oldest outdoor brands, where he helped guide the company into a modern era by focusing on relevance, authenticity, and long-term positioning in a crowded global market. He also served as a senior executive at Canada Goose during a critical period of growth, playing a key role as the brand scaled from a respected Canadian label into a global icon. Following that chapter, Robin founded Nobis, a premium outerwear brand known for technical innovation, clean design, and uncompromising quality. Nobis earned its reputation not through hype, but through performance and product integrity. Across his career, Robin has built trusted relationships with elite athletes, industry leaders, and high-profile individuals by prioritizing credibility, long-term thinking, and doing things the right way — especially when the stakes are high. But this conversation goes beyond brands and titles. We talk about leadership under pressure, lessons learned the hard way, building things that last, and how fatherhood and legacy shape the way you show up, in business and in life.
