From working on his dad’s crew at 12 to running one of Manitoba’s top cost consulting firms, Ben Postma’s story is about risk, family and finding your own path.

After getting a finance degree, Ben spent years in estimating and project management for major contractors — helping deliver projects wort up to $400 million.

Then in 2020, he left a secure six-figure job to take over his father’s two-person company Postma Consulting. Five years later, he’s grown it into a 14-person team leading cost management across Western Canada.

In this episode, Ben shares how he rebuilt the family business, self-doubt and what he’s learned about work-life balance.
