Incidence & Experience with Homelessness | Beyond Four Walls | Calgary Business
You're not going to want to miss this one. On a very special (and very real) episode of Beyond Four Walls, host Sean Mackenzie sits down with Stephen Vaivada to unpack something that too many people still get wrong — how we talk about and reference people experiencing homelessness.
This isn’t just another business podcast. It’s about humanity, humility, and how the language we use shapes the way we see others. Of course, there’s also a healthy dose of storytelling, a few laughs, and a little chaos — because that’s what makes Beyond Four Walls tick. Grab your coffee (or something stronger), because this one will make you think, laugh, and maybe even squirm a little — in the best way.
