Across The Street, Across The Country

“Season 4, Episode 11 – Sitting Down with the CEO”

DKI Canada

His name has come up, regularly, in interviews, since we launched this show more than three years ago. Indeed, virtually all DKI members across Canada have a story about their CEO and how he helps nurture, guide, inspire them – and how he even expressed genuine excitement to bundle up in a fishing hut with one of those members on a frozen Alberta lake in February!

We sit down, in person - (No Zoomin’ here, eh) - with Chris Schmidt to discuss where DKI was, is, and headed. Spoiler alert: The future’s bright, says the CEO who describes himself as an eternal optimist. Chris also expounds on what makes DKI special, and what inspires him in his leadership role – (Spoiler alert #2: it’s the people). 

Music for this episode is “Coming Up,” “The House We Built” and “Always Be Alright” by Close Kicks.
