More Than a Job: Construction with a Purpose
In this episode of the BAM Canada Podcast, Aubrey Tozer and Ann Chow are joined by Tom Cameron of Step Up Industries, a Winnipeg-based construction business rooted in faith, community, and meaningful work. Tom shares how Step Up grew from a small construction initiative connected to Inner City Youth Alive into a growing general contracting business, and how his faith has shaped the decisions along the way. From turning down potential contracts that didn't align with the company's mission to integrating prayer, discipleship, and mentorship into the everyday rhythms of work, Tom offers an honest look at what it means to build a business that is both financially sustainable and deeply committed to people and community flourishing. Together, they explore the tensions that come with leading a mission-driven business, including the importance of setting boundaries, learning to receive mentorship, and trusting God's provision while making wise business decisions. Tom also reflects on how his understanding of community has grown, recognizing that everyone, regardless of their background or position, needs connection, support, and opportunities to grow. Our hope is that Tom's story encourages you as you navigate the challenges and opportunities of integrating faith and business, and inspires you to consider how you can remain faithful to your mission while building a sustainable business.
