Starting Monday, October 20, 2025 the Behind the Business Podcast, presented by Gore Mutual and hosted by Ian McLean, will feature a special week-long series in celebration of BDC Small Business Week. Each day, we’re spotlighting a different small business owner from our community — the people who power our local economy, create jobs, and bring innovation to life. We’re also excited to have this year’s theme focus on the economic revolution, and getting your business ready.
You can watch and/or listen to each episode below. The podcast is also available on Spotify, Apple Music & Amazon Music & more.
And if you haven’t yet, don’t forget to secure your tickets for the 2025 Small Business Awards presented by BDC on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. We’ll be recognizing small business nominees across 7 categories. The event is too big to host all in 1 venue, so your experience includes celebrations in 2 venues! Join us at THEMUSEUM for food stations, live music, networking, and access to the exhibits… before we head next door to the Conrad Centre for the Performing Arts where we’ll host the official Awards Program.
