Collectivism vs Individualism: Listening and Learning from Indigenous Wisdom with Tim Coldwell | SMC

Canada is a country that is mostly populated by immigrants. Settlers arrived on this land generations ago and made choices that irreparably impacted the sovereignty of the Indigenous populations and the very land upon which we live.

Our guest this week, Tim Coldwell, President of Chandos Construction, learned first hand the impact of the choices made throughout his lineage. As he learns his way through a forgotten and hidden indigenous history, Tim finds himself in a position to create a positive impact.

Tune in as Tim and Andrea explore how we can learn the lesson of Collectivism from the Indigenous people in Canada and how we can create a society where we choose equity and sustainability to create a society where all are valued.
