Are you someone in film, not-for-profits, or a leader with an itch to infuse your city with more culture? Meet Leonard Schein, a dear mentor to me and many others. He’s best known for founding the Vancouver International Film Festival and for helping strengthen the sustainability of Toronto International Film Festival during a pivotal time. He entered the film business in Vancouver in 1978 and went on to operate several iconic theatres across the city.

What you may find most insightful from our deep conversation are the following:

• How creatives can unlock government and donor support

• Where media and cities like Vancouver must evolve in an AI-driven world

• Why letting go and trusting others helped his businesses thrive

• The mindset behind a lifetime of impact and entrepreneurship

Get present and get ready as we kick off the episode with a defining story from Leonard’s life.
