Finance professor Moshe Milevsky studies personal finance and retirement planning, focusing on a simple question that matters to each of us: How can you make sure your money lasts as long as you do? The answer that the world of finance gives us is to share that risk with as many people as possible. Moshe doesn't agree with the assumptions behind this answer. In this interview, he talks about what we can learn from the world's first pension plan, which began in Scotland in the 1744 and lasted until 1995. Risk sharing is not about large numbers of people, he says. It's about solidarity with others in your community. Hosted and produced by Cameron Graham, Professor of Accounting at York University.

How can we make our money last as long as we do?In this episode of Podcast or Perish, I talk with Prof. Moshe Milevsky of the Schulich School of Business, York University, a leading expert on pensions and financial planning. We discuss “longevity risk,” which is all about what happens if you outlive your retirement savings. We look at the origins of pensions in the Church of Scotland, the psychology of retirement, and how Moshe's research bridges economics and human behavior to design safer financial futures.***Full transcript, photos, and related resources:https://www.podcastorperish.ca/episodes/episode-053-moshe-milevsky***Podcast or Perish is about academic research and why it matters.

Prof. Eileen Fischer, the eminent marketing researcher at the Schulich School of Business, talks about her research into the roles that emotional work plays in creating and sustaining alternative markets. These are those local markets that offer an alternative to mass market consumer capitalism. They bring together local producers and local consumers in an effort to build community and help save the planet. If you've ever wanted to "shop local," you'll be surprised to learn how much emotional effort it takes to keep things running.

Making a simple consumer choice has become a minefield of moralizing and shame. It's not enough to buy the right products, you have to use them in the right way. Returning guest Dr. Ela Veresiu, Associate Professor of Marketing at the Schulich School of Business, studies how consumer behaviour is moralized. With her co-authors, she has identified four scripts that people follow in taking a moral position on the products and services they use: hygienic, improvement, holistic, and indulgent. In this interview, she explains how policy makers can apply these insights to influence public behaviour, and how companies can position their products to align with morally desirable end-states, leaving consumers to choose their own moral path to that end.

Authenticity. Corporations chase it. Consumers desire it. Maxim Voronov, Professor of Sustainability and Organization at the Schulich School of Business, studies authenticity in a business context. He breaks it down into two categories, traditionality and originality. Which one a corporation pursues depends on factors such as how large they are, and how old they are. In this episode, host Cameron Graham talks to Maxim about his study of authenticity in the Canadian whisky industry. Hosted and produced by Cameron Graham, Professor of Accounting at York University.

Do the beliefs of people who live near a company's head office affect the company's actions on climate change?In this episode of Podcast or Perish, I talk with Prof. Giri Kanagaretnam, Ron Binns Chair in Financial Reporting, Banking, and Governance at the Schulich School of Business, York University. We explore his work on whether local beliefs about climate change are related to corporate tax behavior, specifically when firms take advantage of green tax incentives. Giri's data says that firms in counties with strong climate-change norms tend to have lower effective tax rates. Giri says this means that social beliefs—not just financial incentives—shape corporate action. I take some convincing.***Full transcript, photos, and related resources:https://www.podcastorperish.ca/episodes/episode-049-giri-kanagaretnam***Podcast or Perish is about academic research and why it matters. Hosted by Prof. Cameron Graham.
Beliefs about climate change vary, and one big difference of opinion is whether we should try to do anything about it. One way of getting people to do something about climate change is through tax incentives. But what makes one company take advantage of tax breaks for green technology, while another company does nothing? Do the company's beliefs about climate change matter? And how would you know what a company believes, anyway? These are the kinds of questions Giri Kanagaretnam can answer. Giri is a Professor of Accounting at the Schulich School of Business, where he holds the Ron Binns Chair in Financial Reporting, Banking and Governance.

How can ancient artifacts rewrite women into history?In this episode of Podcast or Perish, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Greene, Associate Professor of Classical Studies at Western University.

Dr. Elizabeth Greene, Associate Professor of Classics at The University of Western Ontario, holds the Canada Research Chair in Roman Archaeology. Her work on Roman ruins near Hadrian's Wall in northern England looks at everyday objects like leather footwear. History is written by the winners, they say, and as a result, the voices of women are often left out of historical narratives. But by looking closer at the archaeological record, Dr. Greene has been able to discover a lot more about everyday life in Roman society. It's an approach to history that challenges our assumptions about how the world works. Hosted and produced by Cameron Graham, Professor of Accounting at York University.

Meet our special guest, Cameron Graham, who started his journey in senior care at just 20 years old. Cameron is originally from Scotland and is the Founder and CEO of StoriiCare, a software solution for the adult day care industry. Crazy enough, Cameron entered this field after being hospitalized for acute kidney failure. During his hospitalization, Cameron roomed with an elderly man who suffered from dementia. While in recovery, he was able to witness the benefits of reminiscence therapy. The nurses who provided this therapy were simply using pictures from the patients life to help with his memory loss. This experience is what gave Cameron the "lightbulb moment" to modernize this type of therapy. By creating a software that allows users to upload their patients photos to the software, they can create a more mobile and effective user experience. By including analytics and metrics to the software, Cameron was able to make an extremely useful and successful software system. After gaining traction in the UK, Cameron made the bold leap to bring his new company to the U.S. Today, StoriiCare now serves over 240 businesses here in the U.S. Cameron is committed to improving the efficiency and user experience of the software to help adult day care centers increase productivity and better manage their centers. #adultdaycare #seniorcare #software --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/krischana/message
Cameron Graham and the Storii team are building a software platform for Senior Care Facilities. As the CEO, Cameron is responsible for leading their efforts to sell, fundraise and paint a vision for the future. The Storii product started with enabling care staff to digitally schedule and record the care they provide. It has evolved into a tool for case notes, family messaging, media consumption, and more. In this episode, you'll hear Cameron and 1517 Fund's Zak Slayback talk about how Cameron found his way into senior care, the challenges of being so young in such a conservative industry, and the disciplined customer discovery process Storii has followed.
