Rare diseases affect only a small number of Canadians, but a lack of adequate testing and treatment reveals some of the key weaknesses in our health care system.These illnesses – which affect about one in 12 Canadians – raise hard questions about health care costs, access, and fairness, and test how well Canada's fragmented health governance systems can adapt to new challenges.For a closer look at Canadian rare disease policy, Macdonald-Laurier Institute Senior Fellow John Adams joins Inside Policy Talks. Adams is a management consultant and one of Canada's leading advocates for patients with rare diseases. Adams is the co-founder of CanPKU and chair of the Best Medicines Coalition, which represents millions of Canadian patients. His personal journey as a parent and caregiver for his son, who has a rare disease, has left Adams with unique insights on drug access, rare disease policy, and health care reform.On the podcast, he tells host Shawn Whatley, a physician and senior fellow at MLI, that one of the key steps Canada could take to better serve patients with rare diseases is passing an orphan drug law like the one that exists in the United States. These laws incentivize the development of new drugs for rare diseases that are otherwise unprofitable due to small patient populations.

The Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) proposes an increase to Canada's Old Age Security but it won't lift most poor seniors out of poverty.

In this episode of the Hard Truths pod, our social media coordinator Jennifer Fox joins Generation Squeeze founder, Dr. Paul Kershaw as he explains how some politicians and lobbyists wrap themselves in the language of helping poor seniors, but what they're really doing is enriching households with six-figure retirements — all while governments rack up massive deficits and hand the bill to younger Canadians.

In our latest Leadership in Insurance Podcast episode, I sat down with Garrett Droege (SVP, Director of Innovation & Digital Risk Practice Leader at IMA Financial) for a fascinating discussion on InsurTech with some thought-provoking insights that challenge conventional thinking about insurance technology.With 20 years exclusively on the brokerage side, Garrett brings a unique perspective as a former startup founder and self-taught software developer. As both Innovation Lead and Digital Risk Practice Leader at IMA, his role sounds incredibly broad, but as Garrett says, both sides serve each other—you need wide ranging touchpoints across tech ecosystems to stay ahead in both innovation and risk.In this episode, we cover: Build vs. Buy Decision Framework: Garrett's approach is clear: build customer-facing proprietary solutions that differentiate your business and serve your customers, but make sure it works with existing technology. The POC Framework That Actually Works: Forget 12-month POCs that drag on and lose momentum. Garrett advocates for highly targeted, 45-60 day maximum POCs with clear KPIs and the right team selection upfront. His advice to founders? "You think you want a 12-month contract. You don't. Let's prove your platform works fast and furiously, or let's wait until you're ready."The Bold Take: Garrett's view on how the industry has gone about InsurTech all wrong and allowed it to become a series of Band-Aids for the real problem: antiquated core systems from the 1980s and 90s that were built before APIs even existed. The result? Frankenstein workflows requiring 7-15 platforms to complete a single task, with 80% of users still working around the technology the same way they did 20 years ago.The AI Wake-Up Call: Despite AI being "transformational unlike anything we've ever seen" (and Garrett argues it's under-hyped), its promise is severely limited without access to core data systems. Garrett stated "You could build a fully agentic AI brokerage much easier than you could reverse engineer and retrofit an existing brokerage."The Investment Landscape: With 80% of recent Y Combinator and Broker Tech Ventures companies being AI-focused InsurTech solutions, the momentum is undeniable. The dot-com parallels are real—there will be winners and losers, and consolidation is coming.What Technology Can't Replace: Despite all the transformation, some challenges remain timeless: renewal management, client communication, trust-building. As Garrett notes, these require human expertise that AI augments rather than replaces.This conversation is essential listening for anyone in insurance, InsurTech, or risk management. The future of insurance isn't just about innovation—it's about getting the foundation right first. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ What if doing hard sh*t on purpose was the fastest way to build a multi-company empire? In this hard-hitting Dropping Bombs episode, Buck Holly—Marine veteran, world champion shooter, and founder of C&H Precision—goes from broke farm kid in Minnesota to leading multi-million-dollar plays in precision manufacturing, software, and performance nutrition. He built gear warfighters trust (red-dot pistol optics, optic mounting plates, limited-run pistols), invented early drone tech as a defense contractor, and hires misfits with grit over pedigree. Buck says it straight: comfort destroys success, real-world exposure crushes racism and homophobia, and the government keeps people divided on race and guns so they never build anything that lasts.   Then he hands you the operator's playbook: buy the machine you'll need next year, overstaff so you never miss demand, and when suppliers squeeze you—build it in-house. He's rolling out AIM Software to replace agency spreadsheet chaos, expanding BullyWerx to manufacture parts and run youth EV kit programs that teach real manufacturing, and pushing Ruck Pack (featured on Shark Tank) to fuel performance without junk. If you're done with fragile supply chains, influencer gear, and borrowed narratives, steal Buck's model—do hard sh*t, make it easy to buy, and build companies that outlast trends.

Send us a textFireplaces feel timeless, but the safety of that glow lives inside a dark shaft most of us never see. We pull back the curtain on chimney scopes—the video inspections that reveal cracked terracotta liners, missing mortar, offsets, and even missing tile sections that can channel heat straight into framing. Along the way, we explain pyrolysis in plain language and why wood repeatedly heated over time can ignite at surprisingly low temperatures. That one insight alone can change how you think about “just one more fire.”We share what a Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 chimney inspection actually mean, and why a Level 2 scope is the difference between guesswork and real risk assessment. You'll hear field stories: sixteen chimneys scoped in a historic building, a flue section gone near an attic, wildlife nests and bees blocking exhaust, and a seller who lit a “goodbye fire” after being warned—and lost the house that night.

In this episode we're talking about the truths we often avoid — the ones that feel too heavy, too risky, or too painful to face. These are the truths about ourselves, our relationships, and our lives that we push aside in the name of comfort, control, or keeping the peace. But avoiding them doesn't make them disappear. It only keeps us stuck in the very patterns that drain us. Together, we'll explore why these truths are so hard to look at, how they show up in everyday life, and what begins to shift when we stop running from them. If you've ever felt that quiet nudge that something isn't working — but you've been afraid to name it — this conversation is for you. Three Takeaways 1.    Clarity is freeing, even when it hurts. Avoiding truth costs you more than facing it. 2.    Truth builds self-trust. Every time you admit reality, you strengthen your ability to handle it. 3.    Facing truth is an act of courage. And it opens the door to healing, better choices, and peace.   Avoiding truth  doesn't protect us.  It only drains us, leaks out sideways, and keeps us living smaller than we're meant to.     Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

He took Loudcloud public with just $2 million in revenue (dubbed “the IPO from hell”), sold it for $1.6 billion, and has backed companies from Facebook to Stripe to Airbnb to OpenAI to Databricks (now worth more than $100 billion). His management philosophy—forged through near-death experiences and refined through coaching hundreds of CEOs—contradicts most conventional startup wisdom.In our conversation, Ben shares:1.
