Canadian Dream Podcast
Hosted by Canadian Dream
A long-form interview show exploring the success stories, personal philosophies, and practical strategies of Canadian entrepreneurs and leaders.
This is an interview podcast that profiles Canadian business leaders and entrepreneurs, many of whom are immigrants with 'built from scratch' stories. Host Elton Hubner deconstructs their professional journeys, focusing on mindset, practical business challenges like scaling, and personal philosophies on success, family, and failure.
“Unlike purely aspirational shows, it consistently digs into the personal sacrifices and loneliness of entrepreneurship. The host often probes the guest's upbringing and early struggles to find the roots of their drive, adding a layer of psychological depth to the business narrative.”
