The Builder’s Circle

The Builder’s Circle - Live Podcasts + Curated Networking (Ottawa–Gatineau)

From the mind of Dan St-Aubin. When we’re not in the ring, we build rooms where deals get made.

What this is

A no-fluff, results-driven day for founders, creators, leaders, and athletes to connect, learn, and move their mission forward. Think live podcast meets round-table meets real networking. Not your dad’s wine mixer.

What happens

• 3 Live Podcast Conversations (raw & unfiltered) with open Q&A after each talk

• Tactics & Mindset you can use Monday morning
• Momentum: leave with 3 actions and 3 new, valuable contacts
