May 25
55 mins

Episode Description

Daniel Deleary brings a perspective that reaches far beyond the trades.

Rooted in Anishinaabe teachings, community, culture, and lifelong service to Indigenous people, Daniel shares a conversation centered on connection to the earth, to one another, and to the work of creating something better for future generations.

Throughout the episode, the discussion moves between Indigenous worldview, skilled trades, mental wellness, ceremony, purpose, environmental responsibility, and the importance of approaching life with respect and balance. What stands out most is the reminder that progress does not come from division or ego, but from people willing to listen, learn, and build together.

Daniel also reflects on the growing presence of Indigenous workers in the skilled trades through his work with ISEAD, and the importance of creating meaningful pathways, support systems, and opportunities that allow people and communities to thrive.

More than an interview, this episode feels like a shared perspective on humanity, responsibility, and the kind of world we leave behind for the next generation.
