What does a professional baseball umpire turned entrepreneur and a marketer turned author have in common? They're guests on this week's episode.

There's a lot of noise in the business world, but real insight often comes from those actively building, leading, and navigating markets day by day. From the trenches, presented by the Business Examiner News Group, grounds itself in that very idea. Each monthly episode is a direct conversation with a business leader from somewhere across British Columbia's diverse economic landscape. You'll hear the unfiltered perspectives of founders, investors, and executives as they discuss not just their successes, but the tangible challenges and strategic decisions that define their journeys. This podcast moves beyond theory to explore the practical realities of entrepreneurship, investment trends within the region, and the news stories that actually impact local commerce. The dialogue is focused on substance, offering listeners a chance to learn from the experiences of peers and pioneers operating in the same environment. It’s a resource for anyone invested in the province's business community, providing actionable context and a deeper understanding of what drives growth and innovation right here. Tune in for candid interviews that feel more like a strategic briefing than a broadcast, all dedicated to the real work happening on the ground.
