More than a business podcast, this is about people - the individuals who make the City of Kawartha Lakes a place worth living, working, and growing in.
Each monthly episode features stories that range from those about small, family-run retail stores, to large entrepreneur manufacturers, to leaders in the area’s social and non-profit agencies. While it’s a profile of where they come from, where they are and where they’re headed, it’s also a celebration of why these unique people do what they do. Their stories, told in their own voices. While the show emanates from what is officially called, a “city,” you'll realize In Good Company with Wards Lawyers is really about a community.
Our Guests
A strong podcast needs strong subject-matter experts.
As the largest law firm in the area, Wards Lawyers brings together lawyers and law clerks across a wide range of practice areas - each with their own strengths, approaches, and perspective. That creates a deep bench of guests who can explain complex topics clearly, and connect legal concepts back to real decisions.
