As someone who loves the outdoors, problem-solving, and helping others, Guita Yazdani started Campertunity, which is like Airbnb but for camping.

Born and raised in North Vancouver, where Campertunity is based, Guita loves biking, dragon boating, and hiking…but mostly on rainy days when our rainforests are at the peak of freshness!

She endeavours to make the outdoors easily accessible to everyone because everyone has the right to be in nature. With anxiety and depression on the rise, it’s her mission and passion to offer a healthy vacation option to millions who need it, which is camping.

In today’s podcast, we talk about ‘Weology: How everybody wins when we comes before me’, based on themes in The Globe and Mail’s bestseller book authored by Peter Aceto.

Peter Aceto is a globally recognized and respected business leader, author and speaker, currently focused on reversing the epidemic of quiet quitting through caring, compassionate leadership. As a founder and investor in multiple technology companies, Peter devotes much of his time to the technology, innovation and startup ecosystem by serving as a mentor and advisor to Canadian startups.

Peter just completed a 2 year “turning around” of the operations of one of Canada’s largest mortgage brokerages, The Mortgage Alliance Company of Canada – rebuilding its management and sales teams, implementing operational processes, making significant technology enhancements and leading the company to its best financial performance.

Previously, Peter was a founding member of Tangerine (formerly ING DIRECT)’s senior leadership team helping transform ING Direct from a monoline savings bank to Canada’s most preferred “everyday” bank, ultimately leading to the 2012 $3.1 billion acquisition of ING DIRECT by Scotiabank.

Get great on the areas of life you’re most passionate about

Business, Distribution, Retail 0:36:40

Growing up John Krik‘s dad was a pitchman. You could see him slicing and dicing at the country fairs, PNE or home shows throughout Canada. That business grew from shows to television or products being sold on television and then mass distribution in major retail stores like Walmart. John has followed in his father’s footsteps. He’s developed several products that have gone from concept to millions in sales all based out of his home office in Surrey, BC. This is where he conceives the products, brings them to consumer shows, proves the salability, develops a pitch and from there brings it to mass distribution via direct response television.
