Podcasts about Bay Street

In this deeply personal and moving episode, I sit down with Alok Ahuja, co-founder and CEO of Trexity, for a conversation that goes far beyond business. When Alok's father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Alok left a high-flying role at Shopify to become his full-time caregiver. That decision, rooted in love, sparked a journey of clarity, purpose, and the founding of a company built to serve Main Street, not Bay Street. This is a story of legacy, resilience, and how one man chose presence over prestige to honor the father who shaped him. It's also about the kind of father Alok hopes to be. “My goal in life is not to say to my kids, but to show to my kids, to lead by example that hard work pays off.” This Father's Day, we celebrate the mentors, protectors, and everyday heroes who show up to lift their future, and ours on their shoulders.   To learn more about Trexity. https://trexity.com

This episode of Friends Who Argue features a discussion panel with three lawyers who have made the transition from BigLaw to found very different types of small or solo legal practices. Our speakers include Alexi Wood, Ryan Breedan, and John McIntyre. Our panelists discuss the very different reasons why they decided to found an independent legal practice, the myths and misconceptions of starting a small law practice, what challenges they overcame, and why they value the freedom of small or solo practice.Alexi Wood graduated law school in 2000 and started out carrying out non-private practice work relating to international development and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. Alexi transitioned to BigLaw six or seven years after law school, and valued the commercial litigation training she received working in BigLaw for the decade that followed. Alexi struck out to found a law practice that was more flexible, diverse, and responsive to a mission statement that she could champion (as well as to benefit from conflict of interest referrals).Ryan Breedon made partner at a “big” Bay Street litigation boutique and was essentially content with his career. However, circa 2015 his wife and him wanted to relocate their young family back to Barrie, Ontario, where they had roots. Remote working was not yet a thing that law firms did at this time, which led Ryan to found his own solo practice. This eventually led to hiring some associate or two, and, recently, a partnership. While not his purpose, Ryan very much valued the flexibility and ability to make independent decisions that being a solo/small practitioner provided him. John McIntrye gained valuable experience in the health law specialty while articling and being an associate in BigLaw. John began to feel increasingly constrained by the bureaucratic environment he was in. He therefore left legal practice to pursue a master of public health at John Hopkins in the United States, intending to continue his career in the health sector but not necessarily legal practice. With the pandemic having very much put remote work on the table, John initially carried out Canadian health law work as something of a side practice while in graduate studies. In 2022, however, he joined forces with Jessica Szabo and embarked on a business development spree to found a boutique health law firm. This was successful, although a growing business leads to its own challenges. Land AcknowledgementThe Advocates' Society acknowledges that our offices, located in Toronto, are on the customary and traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinabek, the Huron-Wendat and now home to many First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples.  We acknowledge current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit and honour their long history of welcoming many nations to this territory. While The Advocates' Society is based in Toronto, we are a national organization with Directors and members located across Canada in the treaty and traditional territories of many Indigenous Peoples.

“What I want Canada to be, and I think this is where Pierre can take us, is a country that is so full of opportunity that we need to open our doors even bigger to have the best and the brightest come in because our economy is growing.”In a time when politics, business, and economics feel like a house of mirrors, this episode breaks down why Canada still matters—and what it will take to keep it that way. From affordability crises to bloated bureaucracy, it's not about ideology anymore—it's about survival. This conversation draws a sharp line between stakeholder control and individual freedom, between bureaucratic sprawl and a thriving economy rooted in opportunity.Ian Robertson reflects on lessons from Mike Harris' era, where clear communication, common-sense leadership, and policy courage turned third-place polls into governance victories. He outlines how Pierre Poilievre's focus on clarity and urgency parallels that legacy, and why the fight today is not just political—it's structural. Whether it's reforming immigration policy or slashing government bloat, Ian argues that Canada must choose between decline or regeneration.Ian Robertson is a seasoned political strategist and corporate advisor.

Radhika (aka: Rad) Lakhani Esq., LLM JD, is an expert in human conflict resolution and relationship dynamics. She has thousands of hours of experience as a divorce lawyer, mediator, children's lawyer, court appointed dispute resolution officer, and educator.   In 2022, after almost 20 years in law and ADR, Rad transitioned from family law lawyer to family IN-powerment educator.   Rad's mission is to help families experience greater peace and harmony. She believes that when parents and children are IN-powered, with the right tools, they not only resolve their own conflict, but begin to truly THRIVE.  Rad believes that every child deserves to be raised in a peaceful home.  Rad left law to help families heal conflict at the ROOT (which she realized the legal system is not designed to do). Her experimental group-courses led to dozens of clients stating that they felt more empowered, less anxious, happier, & more at peace in 1-2 months.  The results were incredible, and better yet, they were starting to positively impact her client's children.     Rad's clients have called her their “life guru”, “Yoda” and “soul activator.”  Her desire is to help people transform their greatest challenges into their greatest miracles, to help them experience rapid transformation with greater ease, and provide a new pathway for families to resolve conflict in a lasting and empowering way. Key points of our interview include:

On this episode of the "House of Hockey" Podcast, Rae and her guest co-host Joe Cangelosi, dive deep into the latest NHL news, PWHL news and share candid opinions on the hottest topics in the hockey world. Joe is a two-time guest of the podcast and a former pro hockey player most recently playing for the Carolina Thunderbirds. We dive right into the NHL frenzy, starting with the Florida Panthers vs. Carolina Hurricanes showdown that seemed to involve everyone throwing punches. And speaking of fights, who could forget Brandon Tanev of the Seattle Kraken taking on Connor Garland of the Vancouver Canucks? And let's not overlook the confrontation between Bobrovsky and Tkachuk, adding more fuel to the fire in the NHL rivalry department.  But the drama doesn't stop there. We discuss the rollercoaster week for the NY Rangers' Matthew Rempe, from his eventful first game on the outdoor rink to controversial hits and game-winning goals. Plus, Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs reaches a milestone with 50 goals this season in his home state of Arizona, while the Arizona Coyotes face controversy with Adam Ruzicka's contract termination after a troubling social media post. In AHL, we celebrate the Rochester Americans' unique initiative of putting nicknames on jerseys for a good cause, and goaltender Jaxson Stauber's impressive night for the Rockford Icehogs. The PWHL takes center stage with the historic Battle on Bay Street at Scotiabank Arena, where Montreal faced off against Toronto in front of the largest pro women's hockey crowd ever expected and the newest sponsor of the league. We also delve into the lighter side of hockey fandom with a social media viral video call-out involving a disgruntled Toronto Leafs fan and a tossed hat.

Emeryville is a tiny town – less than 2 square miles. It's nestled between Oakland and Berkeley, right at the foot of the Bay Bridge, and most people probably think of it as a place to go shopping. Two major freeways cut through Eville and from your car, while you're inevitably sitting in traffic, you can see giant signs for Ikea, Target, and Bay Street mall. If you're not from the Bay Area, you might know it as the home of Pixar. This era of Emeryville as a mecca of cartoons and commerce is relatively new. A generation ago, the landscape looked drastically different. Media often described it as an “industrial wasteland” due to the toxic pollution left behind by factories that fled in the 1970s and 80s. It was also known as a place where corruption festered during the reign of an allegedly corrupt police chief who “ruled the town with an iron fist,” according to former city manager Joe Tanner. Flash forward to 2024 and Emeryville's brand new mayor Courtney Welch, the first Black woman to hold that position, can legitimately claim that the town is “having a bit of a renaissance.” Brand new parks, apartments, and shops now occupy land that was littered with junked cars, rusty warehouses, and crumbling buildings. Taking notice of this transformation, I wrote about some of my favorite things to do in Emeryville recently for SF Gate and the article got a huge response. So, since a lot of people seem to be checking out Emeryville for the first time, I though it would be a good opportunity to look back at Emeryville's history and ask some important questions… Like: How did it become such a hell hole in the 80s? How did it transform so radically since then? Why does this extremely unique tiny little town even exist? Spoiler alert: The answers to all these questions are pretty crazy. There's a good reason why former Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren famously called Emeryville “the rottenest city on the Pacific Coast.” Today's episode features interviews with Rob Arias, publisher of The Eville Eye community news site, and creator of the Emeryville Historical Society's new Park Avenue District walking tour; and also Joe Tanner, who served as Emeryville's city manager in the 1980s. https://eastbayyesterday.com/episodes/rotten-city-no-more/ Note: Note: To hear my previous episode about the history the “Emeryville shellmound” and battles over Ohlone sacred sites, click here: https://eastbayyesterday.com/episodes/where-are-those-ancestors-now/ This episode is sponsored by UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals.
