   It's almost unthinkable the son of a just departed president could be as unhinged as Hunter Biden.  The former first son is sitting down for interviews and firing shots at everyone else in the democrat party and it's glorious.  Oh, and he's not doing his dad's legacy any favors in the process despite the fact he's trying to help.    House Speaker Mike Johnson says he's not afraid to investigate Barack Obama for his role in operation Russia Hoax.  But Johnson stops way short of making any promises.    Newt Gingrich has written a brilliant column showing how the Congressional Budget Office works against Republicans, and especially Mr. Trump.  Wait until you hear the numbers.    Salvy hit two more bombs as the Royals blast the Cubs.  Man, when this guy is hot, the Royals are hard to beat.  What a legend.    We are usually a big fan of Colin Cowherd but wait until you hear why he thinks the Chiefs will finish third in the division this year.   The Big 12 rejects $250 million from the University of Memphis to join the league and we remember one of the stars of the Cosby Show.

He is also a visiting lecturer to several universities on venture capital and intellectual property rights, and he co-authored a master's program in Technology Law for the Riga Graduate School of Law. Since 2018, he has co-founded medical tech startup Longenesis, a cutting-edge company that unlocks the hidden value of biomedical data and accelerates novel drug treatment & discovery.

From Startup Founder to Ecosystem Bridge-BuilderIlias Benjelloun's journey began with identifying untapped talent in Canada's tech scene and helping create community among builders. He transitioned from launching startups to developing programs at large institutions like Desjardins, where he helped align startup innovation with corporate goals. His goal has remained constant: unlocking value trapped by outdated structures and accelerating impact through strategic collaboration.Building Innovation Programs with PurposeDuring his time at Desjardins, Ilias led several key initiatives including a $250M fund, a corporate accelerator, and a pre-incubator. What made these efforts unique was their grounding in local ecosystem needs, not top-down mimicry of Silicon Valley models. His philosophy is simple but powerful: start with what you have, listen to the community, and complement what's missing. He was also an early advocate for integrating SDGs into innovation frameworks, proving that financial returns and social impact can go hand-in-hand.Lessons from Around the WorldHaving traveled to innovation hubs in the Middle East, San Francisco, and beyond, Ilias observed a few standout patterns: corporate investors are entering earlier, opening doors more readily, and embracing a pay-it-forward culture that fosters genuine collaboration. By contrast, some ecosystems - including parts of Canada - remain more cautious, often waiting until startups are less risky. Ilias believes this risk aversion can be overcome through smart partnerships and shared learning.The Untapped Power of the African DiasporaIlias is now focused on activating a massively underutilized force: the African diaspora in Europe and North America. These globally connected individuals hold cultural insights, technical expertise, and business potential that is often overlooked. He argues for shifting the narrative away from DEI as a moral obligation and toward viewing inclusion as a strategic business advantage, especially in sectors like climate tech, agtech, and water innovation where frugal solutions are in high demand.A New Model for Global CollaborationTo turn this vision into reality, Ilias advocates for partnerships with anchor corporates in target countries - like OCP in Morocco - and creating consortiums that lower the risk of startup collaboration. This requires intermediaries with cultural fluency and operational know-how to translate between regions. He sees VivaTech as a prime example of where these global bridges can be built, linking France, Canada, Africa, and beyond. His mission is to move from talk to action, harnessing innovation not just for returns, but for systemic change.
