The Mindset That Helped Him Survive COVID, Supply Chain Chaos & War with Ivan Lypovyk

In this inspiring episode of the True North Success Podcast, Gary Mah and Amy Kim sit down with Ivan Lypovyk, entrepreneur and co-owner of Permanent Window Solutions, to explore his remarkable journey from carpenter and construction superintendent to building one of Western Canada’s leading European window and door companies.

Ivan shares how moving from Ukraine to Canada opened his eyes to opportunities in the construction industry and led him to introduce modern European window technology to the Canadian market. What began as a small side business eventually became a thriving company with multiple showrooms and a growing team.

Despite launching his first showroom only days before COVID restrictions began — and later navigating the impacts of the war in Ukraine — Ivan and his team continued to grow by embracing adaptability, leadership, and continuous learning.
