Allan Degenova’s journey is proof that success isn’t just about deals—it’s about people. From selling paper cups in Chinatown to revolutionizing real estate, Allan’s story reveals how trust, community, and unconditional giving can create extraordinary opportunities. But his biggest mission? Helping Canada’s veterans and first responders heal through Honour Ranch, a sanctuary for those battling PTSD. If you’ve ever wondered how business and compassion can go hand-in-hand, this episode will change your perspective.

The problem? Many veterans and frontline workers struggle in silence, with PTSD often going untreated. Traditional systems fail them—long wait times, lack of tailored care, and the stigma of asking for help. Allan’s solution? Honour Ranch, a retreat where heroes find peace through equine therapy, nature, and brotherhood. No red tape, no cost—just real healing. But this mission isn’t just about charity; it’s about recognizing that strong communities start with looking after those who protect us.

Allan’s philosophy? "Your net worth is your network." Whether in business or life, the relationships you build determine your impact. From million-dollar real estate deals to saving lives at Honour Ranch, his story proves that success isn’t measured in dollars—it’s measured in lives changed. Want more inspiring stories like this?

🔹 The West Coast Business Show
The West Coast Business Show is a new web series that takes a deep dive into the business, technology, and leadership of the west coast of British Columbia. Hosted by Jerrod Downey from Crownsmen Partners and William Donnellan, President of IRL Group and owner of Irish pubs across Vancouver, the show features interviews with industry leaders, technology leaders, and experts in business and community.

🔹IRL Group
IRL Construction Ltd. was the first company they founded within only a few short years of moving to Canada. William had owned his own construction company in his early 20's back in Ireland and utilized his trade as a carpenter to build the enterprise from the ground up. Likewise, the pubs that were soon to follow, were also built by William and his hard-working IRL team.
