How do you build a team where leadership is shared, not hoarded? Where power is a tool for progress—not control? In this deeply insightful episode, Tyler Chisholm speaks with Jeff Couillard and Pablo Romero, co-CEOs of The Ally Co, about the future of leadership, the hidden cost of hierarchy, and why real change starts with self-awareness. As consultants working with everyone from fast-scaling startups to major global energy firms, Jeff and Pablo share how they help organizations move from performative leadership to purposeful transformation. Together, they explore the concept of “leaderful teams”—environments where trust, dialogue, and distributed power become strategic advantages. They dig into how leaders can build psychological safety, address unconscious bias, and break cycles of “artificial harmony” that often undermine growth. The conversation also touches on the Ally Co's own co-CEO structure, revealing how it models the accountability and allyship they teach. Whether you're managing people, designing culture, or leading change in a complex system, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes leadership is a shared responsibility—not a solo act.In this episode:What it means to create “leaderful teams”Why power isn't inherently good or bad—and how to use it more consciouslyThe importance of psychological safety in organizational performanceThe common gap between good intentions and real-world impactHow leaders in technical industries can unlearn old paradigms The value of co-leadership and distributed decision-makingTop 3 Wisdom Bombs“Leadership isn't what you do to people—it's what you do with them.” - Pablo Romero“If we've done our job right, things might feel worse before they feel better. That's how you know you're being honest.” - Pablo Romero“Power is just the ability to affect change. It's neutral. What matters is how you use it.” - Jeff CouillardThis episode is brought to you by clearmotive marketing.

In this candid and insightful episode, Tyler Chisholm is joined by Barry Po—CEO of Brilliant and a veteran of mCloud and HSBC—to talk about what AI really means for business leaders today. Far from the hype, Barry focuses on clarity, strategy, and the courage it takes to lead meaningful change.

For leaders navigating the early or messy middle stages of AI adoption, this episode is full of practical insights—from building data readiness to avoiding the trap of pilot purgatory. Whether you're leading a legacy company or scaling something new, Barry makes the case for bold, human-centered transformation—and explains why the most innovative move might be simply asking better questions.In this episode:What AI *really* means for business operationsThe myth of “newness” and the long road to today's AI momentWhy adding AI to a broken process just creates a faster broken processReducing organizational complexity as a strategic imperativeThe importance of data readiness and avoiding “pilot purgatory”AI theater vs. real transformationWhat leaders need to ask before bringing AI into their businessThe role of courage, skepticism, and bias in successful innovationWestern Canada's unique opportunity to lead in industrial AIWisdom Bombs:“If you take a broken process and you add AI to it, the best you're going to do is make it slightly faster.” - Barry Po“I like to talk about AI like it's a fabric inside an organization.

In this powerful departure from the usual business talk, Collisions YYC host Tyler Chisholm reconnects with longtime friend and award-winning author Marcello Di Cintio to discuss his newest book, Precarious: The Lives of Migrant Workers. What begins as a conversation about storytelling and research quickly becomes a compelling dissection of Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program—a system that many Canadian businesses now depend on, yet one that “enables bad bosses to be bad” and quietly upholds racial and economic divides.Tyler brings the lens of a business owner frustrated by labour shortages, while Marcello offers moving and deeply researched accounts of the people working behind the scenes in farms, restaurants, and care facilities. For leaders navigating a tight labour market, this episode challenges you to see migrant workers not just as solutions to staffing problems—but as human beings who deserve better from the systems they uphold.Buy the book: Precarious: The Lives of Migrant Workers Support Calgary indie booksellers like Shelf Life Books or Owl's Nest Books.In This Episode Why Canada's labour policies don't live up to its valuesThe historical shift from European to racialized migrant labourStories of courage, loss, and exploitation across sectorsThe business owner's frustration vs. the worker's realityHope from the frontlines of advocacyThis episode is brought to you by clearmotive marketing.

In this episode, our host Tyler Chisholm reconnects with returning guest John Hetherington—consultant, systems thinker, and trusted advisor to finance leaders navigating complexity in the AI era. John's mission? Help financial teams in mid-sized companies (100–500 employees, $50–100M revenue) close their month-end books twice as fast through systems thinking, automation, and a clear-eyed approach to change management.They explore why chaos can't scale—but systems can—and how finance teams can avoid burnout by building smarter processes. John shares his “Absorb, Assemble, Align” model for introducing AI responsibly and emphasizes the need to clarify how teams will use the time saved by automation. They also tackle the human side of transformation, including the 20/60/20 rule of change management and the importance of securing buy-in from the people doing the work. The conversation highlights how process improvement—not shiny new tech—is often the most impactful kind of innovation.
