Ep 5: Earning Trust Through Action with Andy Forsyth

Some leaders command attention. Others earn it over time. In this episode of The Splitting Atoms Podcast, host Caitlin Stone sits down with Andy Forsythe, Vice President of Business Development with the Millwrights, to explore a career built on consistency, discipline, and a willingness to step forward when it mattered most. From martial arts and policing to nuclear operations, major refurbishment projects, and business development, Andy shares the experiences that shaped his approach to leadership and the lessons he continues to carry with him today. Together, they explore what it means to build trust through action, navigate high-pressure environments with confidence, develop meaningful relationships, and lead with quiet consistency rather than recognition. Whether you work in the nuclear industry or beyond, this conversation offers practical insights into leadership, accountability, resilience, and the kind of mindset that allows people to create lasting impact wherever they are. The Splitting Atoms Podcast explores leadership, growth, and the lessons that shape us throughout our careers. Set against the backdrop of Canada's clean energy sector, each conversation uncovers the human stories behind the people powering our industry. Hosted by Caitlin Stone.

Ep 4: Being the First with Tracy Primeau

What does it actually take to be the first—and to keep showing up as yourself while you do it? In my upcoming conversation with Tracy Primeau, Owner and Chief Consultant of Agile Bear Consulting, we explore that through a career shaped by stepping forward, even when the path wasn’t clearly defined. Tracy is someone who has built her reputation on authenticity, conviction, and a willingness to lead in spaces where she didn’t always see herself reflected. Her journey speaks to what it means to move forward with courage, while learning to trust that who you are is enough. Today, her leadership is grounded in lessons learned through the Seven Sacred Teachings, shaping how she supports others, makes decisions, and shows up across the industry. Our conversation reflects on the moments that shaped her perspective—and what they can teach about trusting yourself, stepping forward, and creating space for others to do the same.

Ep 3: Following Your Compass with Darryl Spector

What does it look like to align your actions with your values—and to stay true to that, even when it isn’t the easiest path forward? In this conversation with Darryl Spector, President of Promation, that question sits at the centre of his approach to leadership. Through his experiences, Darryl reflects on what it means to lead in a way that is consistent, intentional, and grounded in what you believe to be right. His perspective highlights the importance of trusting your instincts, taking ownership of your decisions, and showing up with a clear sense of responsibility—for yourself, for others, and for the industry you’re part of. His story makes one thing clear: leadership is not defined by moments of ease, but by the ability to stay aligned with your values over time. This is a conversation about accountability, self-awareness, and the discipline of leading in a way that holds steady.

Ep 2: Leading with Empathy and Intention with Jessica Linthorne

What does it actually look like to lead with empathy while still making clear, strategic decisions? In this conversation with Jessica Linthorne, President and CEO of the Nuclear Innovation Institute, that balance sits at the centre of her story. From early lessons in confidence and self-acceptance, to the influence of competitive sports, to pivotal career moments where emotion and strategy were both present, Jessica’s journey highlights the discipline required to lead with intention. Her experience makes one thing clear: strong leadership isn’t about removing emotion—it’s about learning how to manage it. Emotion creates awareness and connection. Strategy provides clarity and direction. The ability to separate the two, and respond thoughtfully, is what builds trust over time. Today, Jessica brings that balance into her leadership through a thoughtful, consultative approach that prioritizes listening, alignment, and forward momentum. This is a conversation about self-awareness, discipline, and the kind of leadership that earns trust in complex environments.

Ep 1: The Connections That Shape Us with Rachna Clavero

How do the relationships in our lives shape the direction of our careers? In this conversation with Rachna Clavero, President and CEO of Conexus, that question sits at the centre of her story. From a childhood community that helped her rebuild confidence after experiencing racism, to the influence of her father, her husband, and the mentors who saw potential in her early on, Rachna’s journey makes one thing clear: the most pivotal moments in our careers are rarely shaped alone. The people around us influence our decisions, build our confidence, and help define how we lead. What makes this conversation especially meaningful is that Rachna now leads an organization built entirely around connection within the nuclear sector. In many ways, her work today reflects the very relationships that shaped her path. This is a thoughtful discussion on leadership, resilience, and the people who shape who we become.
