Back to school! But this time, Gary was at the front of the classroom, joining Dr. Laura Tate’s graduate-level REM 602 course at SFU as a guest lecturer.

A proud SFU alumnus, where he studied Geography, Gary shared his perspective on how our cities are changing, the demographic shifts shaping them and what these changes mean for public policy and community engagement.

He also shared three related readings with students, including perspectives on the growing influence of millennials, to encourage further thinking about the forces shaping our communities.

It was a great opportunity to reconnect with SFU and share his experience with students preparing for careers in planning.

Episode 23 is live! We hope you've been enjoying the Poonicast so far—if you've missed any of our past interviews, be sure to catch up here: https://www.poonigroup.com/poonicast.

Our latest conversation delves into the family story behind the success of Vancouver Whitecaps player Jeevan Badwal and his younger brother Manav, who recently became the youngest player to debut for Whitecaps 2 in MLS Next Pro. It's a story shaped by hard work, discipline and intentional parenting. Their father, Kamaljit (Kam) Badwal, came to Canada from India, at just 15 without speaking any English—and went on to build a life rooted in faith, family and football.

In this episode of the Poonicast, Gary Pooni and co-host Kavie Toor, Managing Director of UBC Athletics, sit down with Kam to talk about his journey from a village in Punjab to the city of Surrey, the multi-sport philosophy that helped shape Jeevan's athletic development, and the role sleep, nutrition and discipline play in reaching the professional level.

It's an honest conversation about immigrant resilience and the values that help young athletes excel both on and off the field.

Episode 22 is LIVE! 🎙️

What does it take to keep downtown Vancouver thriving? And what happens when you refuse to give up on the city you love?

Jane Talbot, CEO of the Downtown Van BIA, has spent years advocating for the heart of Vancouver. Mike McDonald, meanwhile, has been bringing culture, community, and a new vision to Library Square Public House. Both share a deep passion for downtown and the people who bring it to life.

On Episode 22 of the Poonicast, Gary Pooni and co-host Jamie Gladman sit down with Jane and Mike for a candid conversation about their journeys, from growing up in Whalley and small-town Pennsylvania to the challenges and opportunities shaping downtown Vancouver today.
It's a conversation about what makes a city special, the people who give it character, and what it takes to keep its heart beating.

What does it look like to build a successful acting career while staying deeply connected to the community you call home?

For Episode 21 of the Poonicast, Gary is joined by two Vancouver-area superstars: Kandyse McClure (Battlestar Galactica, Virgin River) and Celeste Ziegler (Shoresy, Upload).
Two accomplished actors. Two different career paths. And both are making their mark well beyond the screen.

Kandyse is bringing her passion for film to her own backyard through the New West Film Festival and other local initiatives, while Celeste is balancing acting with a thriving real estate practice in Greater Vancouver.

They talk about everything from navigating the film and television biz, why there’s still nothing quite like an in-person audition, and why giving back matters.
It’s a candid, fun conversation with two incredibly talented women.

Episode 21 is live. Catch up on past episodes here: poonigroup.com/poonicast.

Lisa reflects on transforming a depressed downtown into a thriving waterfront. Gerardo shares what it means to bring New West's tourism ambitions to a seat at the big kids' table. Together they dig into the immigrant roots that shaped them, the hidden gems most people have never heard of, and why New West has a way of becoming home.
