For our second episode of The Next Gen Podcast, we sat down with powerhouse Karen Dosanjh — a tech marketing executive, author of Untold Stories: The South Asian Pioneer Experience in BC (now part of BC school curriculum), mentor to youth, advocate for women’s rights, and a leadership and board member at Be The Light Society.
In this thoughtful yet candid conversation, Karen opens up about her journey as a woman in tech, the challenges of navigating leadership in a male-dominated industry, and how being a mom — especially a boy mom — shaped her approach to balance, purpose, and impact.
We dive deep into why women in STEM still face barriers today, the gap that remains in technical leadership, and how culture and identity influence ambition. Karen also shares heartfelt advice for the next generation on finding your voice, owning your story, and advocating for change from within.
A powerful conversation that bridges inspiration and honesty — reminding us that while progress has been made, there’s still work to do
Episode 1: Inquisitive – 15 Years of Art, Culture & Creativity
We kicked off The Next Gen Podcast with none other than the legendary Inquisitive — and yes, this one was recorded before our studio was even ready (because when opportunity calls, we show up).
In this candid yet formal sit-down, Inquisitive opens up about his 15-year journey in art, his evolution as one of the OG influencers in the South Asian creative scene, and what it really means to build a legacy driven by passion and purpose.
Between the deep reflections, plenty of laughs, and random broken punjabi , this conversation gives a genuine look into the artist behind the art.
And just when you think it’s wrapping up… Inquisitive drops a major announcement you don’t want to miss. 👀
It’s the perfect start to our journey — real stories, raw inspiration, and a whole lot of yapping and good vibes. Welcome to The Next Gen Podcast!
