New episode is live on the CanadianSME Small Business Podcast.

In this conversation, we sit down with Melissa Durrell, CEO of Durrell Communications, angel investor, former Waterloo City Councillor, and Co-Founder of Roseview Global Incubator.

We explore how strategic communications shapes leadership, why storytelling matters for entrepreneurs, and how women investors and mentors are helping build stronger, more confident founders. Melissa also shares honest insights on career reinvention, leadership in public office, and the responsibility that comes with influence.

Key takeaways include
• Why every SME needs a communications plan that accounts for uncertainty
• How women in angel investing are backing meaningful change
• Why more women should step into political leadership
• Practical advice for navigating career pivots with clarity
• The power of mentorship in creating global impact
