Chris and Kerry sit down with Ben Myers, from Robot and Pencils, about their new app CakeWalk. CAKEWALK, a free iPhone and Apple Watch app, leverages witty push notifications, fitness challenges, friendly competition and public shaming to encourage daily activity.

This week on the Innovation Alley Podcast we dive into TrapTap with one of the founders, Bryce North. TrapTap is a legal handsfree, speed trap indicator that has absolutely crushed the startup scene since it's inception only a few intense months ago.

David Bernhardt introduces us the TwoCane, an innovative cane that will easy mobility for tens of thousands of people across Canada. We discuss the inventive process, the numerous awards they have received so far, the Dragon's Den pitch process and what is was like to get a deal as well as introduce the crowdfunding campaign that has just launched.

Necessity is the mother of all inventions and in the case of inventor Marco Longley, a life-changing collision with a drunk driver inspired him and his business partner, David Bernhardt, to create the TwoCane. In Part 1 David introduces us to the TwoCane and highlights the Dragon's Den experience.

This week on the Innovation Alley Podcast we have an in-depth interview with David Bernhardt, Canadian Inventor, Dragon's Den Success Story and last but not least one of our founders of the AssentWorks Fabrication facility at Startup Winnipeg.
