Artists can do many things with their work to combat injustice: begin or contribute to larger conversations affecting people; bring light to an issue not being addressed by society; conceptualize a solution to a problem in a new way; etc. But some issues are so vast and large that even addressing it presents its own series of issues. One could enter a conversation with generations of artists having already laid the groundwork, requiring research and participation before engagement. A good question for artists to ask themselves is: am I the right person to bring this issue up? We will have two guests discuss the work it takes to address political and/or social issues in their practice and what considerations artists should do before entering new conversations with their work. Shayna Schlosberg is the Director of Operations + Strategy at Women of Color in the Arts.

My guest today and I met during her first season in Club Med Cancun in May of 2004. She was part of the Waterski Team and a fellow Montrealer. Everyone, please help me welcome, Jo Pilon! Before Club Med, Jo was a competitive wakeboarder and was a Quebec wakeboard champion. Jo grew up in a town on a lake with a small population and as a result, had a somewhat sheltered upbringing. Working at Club Med was a bit of an eye-opening experience for her, what with the 22 different nationalities that were present that season. She fully embraced the different cultures, age groups and lifestyles of her fellow G.O's and is very glad for the experience she had, as it made it much more meaningful and rewarding for her. In this interview, Jo shares a pretty funny story about a trip to the nightclub Dady'Os one night and many more from her first season. After Club Med, Jo obtained a Master's degree from HEC Montreal and is currently an Operations Manager. Please enjoy and listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.

Our theme this week is Dream Team – how the stars can align, and the destinies of people can intertwine. We are joined today by two QUAAF alumni, and MFIN class of 2019 co-presidents Romel & Yacine. Romel was born and raised in Montreal, and became a financial advisor at National Bank after graduating from a BBA in Finance from HEC Montreal. After passing the first two CFA levels, Romel decided that he wanted to dive deeper in the world of investment analysis and left his job to focus on personal research, analysis, and his investment portfolio. Romel joined the Smith MFin program where, in addition to school, he participated in and won multiple case competitions, and became involved in QUAAF, becoming the Director of Portfolio management. Post-graduation, Romel joined a leading private equity firm and has since moved to his current role at Scotiabank in Equity Research covering the REITs. Yacine grew up in Montreal after moving from Morocco at the age of 10. During high school, Yacine dabbled in electronic music and dreamed of having a career as a DJ and music producer, and even got a record deal, but ultimately decided finance was a more suitable path. Yacine attended Concordia University's finance program, passed the first two CFA levels, and sought out a graduate program to take his knowledge and skills to the next level. During his time in the Smith MFin program, Yacine was a finalist in the CFA research challenge and graduated top of the program.

The two discuss and reminisce how global the experience was attending an international school, as Nick pointed out Benjamins group of friends alone was a mini-EU with a student from Bulgaria, another from Sweden, an Italian, and Benjamin (French).

Benjamin also explains how the way he entered the banking industry and trading industry was not the standard way one would go from college to work, and instead, he was able to specifically leverage his background a multicultural TCK to help him get positions in banks, which eventually helped him land the work he pursues today. Benjamin explains to Nick the life of a precious metals trader, and how the market has been affected by the recent outbreak of COVID-19. He provides Nick with pointers for beginner investors, and what to be careful about when it comes to investment for products such as gold, silver, and platinum. The two also touch upon the topic of bitcoin in the market, and the often drawn parallel of bitcoin and gold. Nick asks Benjamin about whether the new platforms for trading has increased the level of day trading, and Benjamin agrees that it has, and shares an anecdote from his experience on a taxi in Shanghai that illustrates this point. Benjamin Simon Precious Metals Trader Benjamin graduated HEC Montreal in 2010 with a Bachelor in Business Administration. He started his career at ANZ Bank, working as a front office assistant for the markets division.

He subsequently moved to their London office where he became responsible for their forwards business. He has now moved to the buy-side and is working for KOCH Supply and Trading as a prop precious metals trader.

Benjamin has been living in London since 2012 and now enjoys discovering the UK as well as new European cities for holidays.

Ken Steele continues his review of recent winners and sinners in higher ed social media, this time looking at orientation week highs and lows. It seems as though sometimes O-Week brings out the worst in students, who then seek to document their exploits on Instagram and Snapchat. In Sept 2011, it was students from HEC Montreal donning blackface to imitate Usain Bolt. In Sept 2013, it was Frosh Chants at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, and at the Sauder School of Business at UBC, seeming to advocate the rape of underaged girls. In 2014 it was Engineering Orientation songbooks that surfaced at Concordia University and McMaster. The pattern seems predictable now: outrage, recriminations, apologies, resignations, sensitivity training, counselling for upset students, and a fact-finding investigation. In July 2014, a young entrepreneur started promoting Ottawa Frosh Week Kits with hyper-sexualized videos encouraging "bad decisions with good friends" and excessive consumption of drugs and alcohol. But we did find at least one O-Week social media winner: Wageningen University in the Netherlands, which staged a student event with 1,000 smartphones to capture the entire campus for a "Student Street View".
