Kelly Ruta knows from decades of experience that people do not arrive with overnight success. They bring baggage, some conscious and some unconscious, and many years of experience. Subconscious beliefs will override intellect nine times out of ten, and so Kelly’s strategic CEO development empowers entrepreneurs to move beliefs and paradigms out of the way, and become the best version of themselves. The limitless entrepreneurs lead exceptional companies and teams to greater impact and revenue. It is not possible to build a successful life and business with focus only on the tactical. Inner work differentiates and enhances resilience and fortitude.

This transformational journey is for Kristina and her customers.

Is there a way to truly create a win-win in the world of fighting climate change? For a company or individual to advance their own financial wealth while at the same time reducing and eliminating carbon and expediting environmental projects? To find a way to encourage really large companies to fund conservation and environmental enhancement projects, which tend to be starved for capital, in a significant way and also improve their own carbon footprint? Justin Cochrane is leading Carbon Streaming Corporation to achieve exactly that.

New uranium mines are needed urgently to supply the clean power industry. Daniel Major is leading GoviEx to develop their first project in West Africa to meet this demand, and potentially benefit from a significant increase in the commodity price.

Jim Pakulis and Boosh Plant-Based Brands believe they are onto something, and are growing both company size and the variety of good quality, quick-serve meal options very fast. Set to dominate the supermarket frozen, refrigerated, and shelf stable categories as well as expand, both organically and through acquisition, into other food service niches Boosh is a story to be heard and watched.

The team discovered a rainbow! A rainbow VMS deposit that is. Copper, gold, silver and zinc at the Callinex Mines Flin Flon district property with the potential to become a continuation option for the mine scheduled to close in late 2022. At a time when the demand for base metals is increasing with the move to green energy and large infrastructure projects, and as the supply in known mines declines, this discovery is exceptional. The team at Callinex is accomplished, and aside from the Manitoba property has exploration projects ongoing in New Brunswick and Newfoundland that also hold significant promise. Are new base mineral mines likely to be developed in time? Are investors primed to benefit as the stock market rebounds with increasing commodity prices?

The humble, versatile, stackable functional mushroom is healing brains, modulating immune systems and contributing anti-oxidant functionality to a growing number of believers. Through functional mushrooms, and in the future making psilocybin producing product available to that industry, Eversio Wellness is both developing and educating an industry. The rigorous screening and dual extraction that Eversio performs ensure their products are superior and release the adaptogenic compounds that are the super-power of each individual genus of mushroom. If Brandi Garden could cure auto-immune psoriatic arthritis, and their clients report significant advantage from extracts, what is the future potential for both functional and psilocybin mushrooms?

Entrepreneurs generally, and in this case those in mineral exploration, can experience significant challenges! Pierre Leveille has seen his share in Southern Africa. Currently focused on the Haib copper deposit in Namibia, and working to renew the exploration license, Deep-South Resources is also investigating other opportunities with accessible infrastructure in stable countries. Pierre suggests that the difference between successful and less successful entrepreneurs in the exploration space can be found primarily in the quality and experience of the team. Of course an element of luck counts too. Listen in for more on the success and challenges, as well as why focus in copper mining is so important.
