Kaleeg Hainsworth's journey, from the streets of Calgary to becoming a pioneering CEO and spiritual leader, is one of resilience and transformation. His story is a powerful reminder of the strength it takes to rise above circumstances and pursue a meaningful life.

Soft-spoken, articulate, and rather slight of frame, you might easily mistake him for a teacher or university lecturer, which he has been. Alternatively, you might think he is a successful business executive or writer or filmmaker. You would be correct on all counts.

But for the time being, life with his loving parents...
