Run it like a girl with Lesley Gunn, head of marketing for Connor, Clark and Lunn Financial Group Ltd.
Run it Like a Girl
02/24/22 • 26 min
I had the great pleasure of working with Lesley Gunn for several years at a professional services firm in Toronto. I learned a lot from Lesley about leadership, advocating for my own career and to not be afraid of failure.
When Lesley first started her career like so many others she found herself in a job that she didn't find fulfilling. However, it ultimately helped her understand where she didn't want to focus her career. After some interesting job experience with a newspaper in London, England, Lesley returned to Canada and began working in the staffing business where she learned how to run a multi-million dollar business.
Lesley now works in financial services, as the Head of Marketing for Connor, Clark and Lunn Financial Group Ltd. in Toronto.
On this episode Lesley tells us communication and persistence are key when an organization is going through a period of transition and change. She talks about having a common vision and how to bring the best out of each individual.

Run it like a girl with Renee Brinkerhoff, owner of Valkyrie Racing, Season 3, episode 7
Run it Like a Girl
03/22/21 • 32 min
Renee Brinkerhoff is a rally race car driver, something she took up in her mid 50s. Believe it or not, she knew nothing about being a race car driver, and had no real desire to be one, but followed a 30 year urge and now owns her own team - Valkyrie Racing. In this episode Renee talks about racing around the world, and Project 356 which aims to raise awareness and funds to combat child trafficking.
Renee’s 1956 Porsche 356A - hence the name of Project 356 - has been to all but one continent. The trip to Antarctica is scheduled for December 2021 after being delayed by Covid.
It’s all in the numbers:
- HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS THE 2ND LARGEST ILLEGAL BUSINESS IN THE WORLD (BEHIND DRUG TRAFFICKING)
- $150 billion annually in illicit profits
- 25-40 million victims globally
- 25% are children and growing
Racer/philanthropist Renee Brinkerhoff, 64-year-old founder of Valkyrie Racing/Valkyrie Gives is not only using her extreme racing on all seven continents as a visual for her own voice to tell the story of human trafficking for those that cannot speak it – but she’s putting ‘boots on the ground’ and providing site visits, supplies, educational needs and funding to grassroots and NGO’s in Amsterdam, Australia, Cambodia, China, Katzkhstan, Kenya, Mexico, Peru, Russia and the US – AND, she was selected to participate in undercover investigative work with partner organizations and local law enforcement to enable rescue of victims and prosecution of traffickers. She has already served earlier this year in Thailand – and has missions slated in Latin America and Southeast Asia.

Run it like a girl with Christie Marchese, Founder and CEO of Kinema, Season 4, Episode 10
Run it Like a Girl
12/02/21 • 23 min
Christie Marchese, who grew up in Southern California, worked in a movie theatre through high school. She was planning on enrolling in filmmaking at college, but decided to pursue International Relations following the attacks of 9/11.
That love of film remained and after college Christie started working with a well-known TV producer on a non-profit film on registering voters. Christie’s path next took her to a company called Participant Media, where she worked on documentaries such as Food Inc., Waiting for Superman and The Cove.
Now based in New York City, Christie is the founder and CEO of Kinema, a company that uses a market platform to make films available to hosts who handle things like booking and ticket selling themselves through the digital platform. And this, according to Christie, allows Kinema to service more filmmakers and distributors.
On this episode, Christie Marchese talks about some mistakes she’s made as CEO - including not delegating enough. She has some advice for anyone interested in starting a business on venture capital, and she has some great advice for fellow introverts.

Run it like a girl with Heather Geluk, Adventurer, Season 2, Episode 19
Run it Like a Girl
05/13/20 • 45 min
Following some deep soul searching, and the breakdown of a relationship, Heather Guluk made an impulsive decision to climb a mountain in the Himalayas, despite knowing very little about mountain climbing.
Heather says she was challenged both physically and mentally, but, after three gruelling weeks, arrived at the summit. And that’s where a 10-year career of climbing some of the highest peaks in the world, including Mount Everest.
There have been some unexpected set-backs over her climbing career. Heather recalls a planned expedition to Mount Makalu (mack-a-loo), the 5th tallest mountain in the world. After waiting for two months on the mountain, the weather finally forced the cancellation of the expedition to the summit.
Another of Heather’s climbs also didn’t work out the way it was planned. Back in April of 2015, Heather was on her way up a mountain in Nepal with her guide, when a massive earthquake violently rolled the ground beneath them. Uninjured, it took a couple of days for the pair to get phone coverage - and that’s when they realized the seriousness of the situation. The Earthquake ended up killing nearly 9000 people, and injuring 25,000.
Heather says she may not have met her mountain climbing goals on that expedition, but her time helping locals offered her some of the best lessons of her life.
Heather tells us she recently moved to British Columbia to be closer to the mountains and the great outdoors, after convincing her boss in Toronto that she could work just as effectively from home. Because of Covid-19, however, Heather has had little time to explore her new community but has lots of plans once the threat passes.
