In this episode, I sit down with Leanne Allen, the owner of "Always On Board," a Simcoe County-based charcuterie company. We dive into the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, with Leanne sharing valuable lessons learned from the mistakes she's made while building her business.

We also explore the nuances of raising boys versus girls, tackling the unique challenges and joys of parenting each.

We touch on the grieving process and how to support our children in navigating loss, and touch on time being a huge non-negotiable in our businesses.

To wrap up the episode, we discuss our favourite nachos and some local restaurants—because Leanne and I always have yummy food on the brain!
