The Sheila Botelho Show: Business Strategy and the Inner Work of Leadership
The Sheila Botelho Show is a business and leadership podcast for founders, CEOs, and women leading at the highest level of their work, who are ready to build the next decade of their business with more clarity, more profit, and more of themselves in the room.
You’ve already done the hard part. You’ve built something that works. You’ve hit the goals that looked impressive from the outside. And somewhere along the way, you started wondering what it would feel like to grow without trading pieces of yourself for the next milestone.
That’s the conversation happening on this show.
Every week, Sheila pulls up a chair for the kind of conversations you’d have with a trusted friend who’s spent decades growing businesses through wave after wave of change, reading rooms, and helping people come home to themselves no matter how fast the landscape moves.
You’ll hear about business strategy, leadership, profit, scaling, identity, creativity, and the shifting landscape of entrepreneurship in a season where everything is changing at once. Solo chats, minisodes, and conversations with founders and leaders building businesses with depth and integrity. Real talk for the woman who’s done the surface-level work and is ready for something with more substance.
So come on in. Get comfortable. This is the place to think bigger, lead steadier, and trust yourself more fully every time you press play.
New episodes Tuesdays and Thursdays.

#WeSeeYou: Indigenous First Nations Youth in Canada - with Dwight Ballantyne - Episode 137

“Youth living in remote Indigenous communities deserve the same choices as every other Canadian. We believe our connection and sharing #WeSeeYou with these youth helps them believe in more than just words in a text book.” -Dwight Ballantyne
Dwight Ballantyne grew up in Montreal Lake Cree Nation, a remote north Saskatchewan First Nation, until the age of 21. He always felt like he was invisible to the rest of the world. When a once in a lifetime opportunity to move to BC presented itself in 2016, he took a leap of faith and left everything he knew behind.
Upon adjusting to his new lifestyle, he realized that many of the new people he met did not even know what a reserve was. This realization instilled a desire to find a way to bridge the gap between remote Indigenous communities and the rest of Canada.
In 2019, Dwight founded The Ballantyne Project with the goal of raising awareness about what it was like to grow up in a remote First Nation.
As part of this goal, Dwight has created three unique and impactful presentations sharing Canadian Indigenous history and the challenges and barriers that he faced growing up. He is in the extremely rare position to offer his audience an opportunity to understand a segment of Canada’s population that rarely makes it into textbooks, popular media or social conversation.
Since January 2020, thousands of students have attended Dwight’s live presentations. He offers these presentations at School District Professional Days and at other organizations who seek to gain a deeper understanding of Canada’s history that currently affects youth and young adults living in remote First Nations today.
