On this episode of Shane Hewitt & The Nightshift, we sit down with Nicolas Mulroney, CEO of Bond Bakery Brands, to uncover a story that blends politics, pastries, and purpose. You may know the Mulroney name from Parliament Hill, but Nicolas is carving out his own legacy—one bakery at a time.

Shane dives into Nicolas’s journey from growing up at 24 Sussex Drive to leading a powerhouse in Canada’s food industry. Bond Bakery Brands isn’t your average bread company. It’s a brand accelerator that helps family-run bakeries grow without losing their heart. Nicolas shares how lessons from his father, the late Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, shaped his leadership style and entrepreneurial vision.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves a good reinvention story, especially when it’s served with a side of warm bread and Canadian legacy.

SH&TNS - From 24 Sussex to Sourdough: How Nicolas Mulroney Is Quietly Building a Bakery Empire

Financial panic investing has a trigger and right now you're surrounded by them. The gas price on the sign jumped overnight. The news is about oil and conflict and markets. Everything on your screen is red. And somewhere in the back of your head a voice is telling you to do something about it.

Think about how it feels to have built a careful plan and then watch the world make it feel irrelevant. The research on this is specific and the pattern is the same every time: markets go up, people buy at the peak. Markets crash,
people sell at the bottom. Both moves feel like the right call in the moment. Neither one is.

The studies say inaction is often the best action. Your heart rate is a better signal than the market color on your screen. If your circumstances actually changed, adjust carefully and set a reminder to restore what you changed. If they didn't, the plan is still the plan.

NEW - The Worst Time to Check Your Investments Is Right Now

Millennial party culture has a specific before and after and you lived through both sides of it. Before: Project X was in theatres, G6 was on every speaker, and the whole cultural message was that a real night out

required spending serious money and recovering for two days. After: you are genuinely considering whether your most comfortable sweatpants and a bag of chips alone on your couch counts as a party. It does.

What does it feel like when the version of fun you actually have turns out to be better than the version you were sold? A 27th birthday party ran about a hundred dollars total. Decorations from Valley Village. Tres leches cake. Bring-your-own-booze karaoke. No hangover. Nobody made terrible decisions. The friends who came asked beforehand if anyone was planning to get wasted. The answer was no. That was fine with everyone.

The music is still playing. You still know every word to the songs that promised you a life you were never going to have. You sing them at your frugal karaoke party and go home at a reasonable hour. It turns out that is the whole story.

The Sweatpants Sofa Party Is a Valid Life Choice

Iran war unconditional surrender sounds decisive until you ask what comes after. You are watching a conflict that has been building for fifty years, funded by a regime that paid for the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Hamas in Gaza simultaneously. The bombing started a week ago. Nobody has clearly defined what the finish line looks like.

What does it feel like when the most powerful military alliance in the world launches a campaign without an end game? A former diplomat puts it plainly: maybe they gamed out the strategic moves but were overly optimistic about how it ends. Maybe there is no end game at all. Demanding unconditional surrender from a leadership that believes dying in battle is a reward is not a negotiating position. It is a hope.

Canada cannot categorically rule out participation. Drones entered Turkish airspace, which is NATO territory, and Article 5 exists for exactly that scenario. The sleeper cell question is the one nobody wants to ask out loud: when does the war that feels far away start producing consequences on a Canadian street?
