Conversations with Calgary's Business Community

Innovators, Leaders & Community Builders

 

ABOUT THE PODCAST

The Back to Business Podcast from the Calgary Petroleum Club offers engaging conversations with Calgary’s business leaders, entrepreneurs, and industry experts. Hosted by Kim Hayden, each episode delivers practical insights, leadership lessons, and real-world strategies that listeners can apply in both their professional and personal lives.

We recently celebrated a major milestone with our 100th episode—an achievement reached by fewer than 7% of podcasts—reflecting the strength of the conversations and community behind this series.

Our guests include CEOs, innovators, and community builders shaping Alberta’s business landscape across all industries. While many episodes focus on leadership and success, others explore the more personal side of business—sharing honest, sometimes emotional stories of challenges, resilience, and growth. These conversations offer a more honest insight, taking a deeper look at the experiences that shape both people and their work.

This podcast connects listeners to the ideas and people driving Calgary’s business community forward, inspiring growth, learning, and meaningful connections along the way.
