Filming In Progress Ep. 5 | Alex + Pat, Yama Vans

In this episode, we explore the challenges of achieving work-life balance while building a business from the ground up. Alex and Pat share insights on creating a unique, high-quality niche in Canada’s RV industry, their commitment to culture-focused hiring, and the irony of running an adventure brand while rarely having time for adventure themselves.

We are here to bring you candid conversations that unravel the challenges, victories and untold stories of those who dare make their mark. We’ll be delving into topics like innovation, leadership and personal growth, providing practical insights you won’t find in a business textbook.
