Theatres, symphonies, and galleries are the backbone of Canadian culture, so why can't many of them get a basic corporate credit card or line of credit? Jamie Bennett, consultant at Lord Cultural Resources, joins Bruce Sellery to expose the gap between arts organizations and Canada's financial services sector, explain why it's largely a problem of education and business language, and make the case for why a dedicated "bank for the arts" or at least a specialized banking vertical could change everything.

What does economics have to do with food banks, dating apps, and the Canadian arts scene? In this episode of Moolala: Money Made Simple, host Bruce Sellery sits down with Alex Mayyasi, a longtime contributor to NPR's wildly popular Planet Money podcast and author of the new book Planet Money: A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape Your Life. He is here **to unpack how economic principles touch everything from tariffs and remote work to the "stable marriage problem" behind dating apps. Then, Caryl Newbery-Mitchell, Senior Vice President at MNP's Consumer Insolvency Practice, breaks down exactly what a Licensed Insolvency Trustee (LIT) can and can't do to help Canadians tackle unmanageable debt, including how a consumer proposal works and how to spot predatory debt advisors online. Finally, consultant Jamie Bennett of Lord Cultural Resources makes a compelling case for why Canadian arts organizations desperately need better access to banking and what it would take to finally get them there.

This episode of Integratives Cancer Solutions features Jamie Bennett and Ryan Castle from Cancer Playbook, who share their personal motivations and experiences that led to the creation of their platform. Jamie, a 20-year endometriosis patient, describes how her own health challenges and the story of Jim Garre's son's battle with brain cancer inspired her to explore alternative therapies, particularly full extract cannabis oil (FECO), to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Ryan, a public health researcher, recounts his initial skepticism and how witnessing his father's positive transformation from opioid use to medical cannabis convinced him of its potential. The conversation delves into the scientific foundation of Cancer Playbook, highlighting a large-scale meta-analysis conducted by Ryan. This study involved over 10,000 individuals and 1.8 million data points, revealing a 300% higher consensus in support of medical cannabis for cancer treatment compared to arguments against it. The team emphasizes the importance of rigorous vetting and peer review to ensure the reliability of their findings, which form the basis for the guidance they provide to patients. A key innovation discussed is the development of an interactive bot on the Cancer Playbook website, which leverages the meta-analysis data to offer personalized, evidence-based guidance to cancer patients. The bot provides information on dosage, scheduling, and potential adverse effects, and is designed to match patients with similar profiles to ensure relevant and consistent support. Weekly update surveys and a strong sense of community further enhance the patient experience. The episode also addresses concerns about the estrogenic effects of cannabis on certain cancers, with Jamie sharing her positive experiences and Ryan acknowledging the need for ongoing research in this area. The team stresses the importance of exploring a variety of cannabis products and approaches to support different cancer types, and they remain committed to expanding their research and support network. Throughout the discussion, real-life success stories are shared, including cases where FECO contributed to significant improvements in cancer outcomes. The hosts encourage cancer survivors to share their stories to inspire and support others, underscoring the power of community and evidence-based guidance in navigating cancer treatment with medical cannabis.Jamie and Ryan from Cancer Playbook share how personal experiences with chronic illness and cancer inspired their mission to help patients using full extract cannabis oil (FECO).The team conducted a meta-analysis of over 10,000 individuals and 1.8 million data points, finding 300% more support for medical cannabis in cancer treatment than arguments against it.Cancer Playbook developed an interactive bot that provides personalized, evidence-based guidance to cancer patients based on patient-reported outcomes and scientific research.The episode addresses concerns about cannabis's estrogenic effects on certain cancers and highlights the need for ongoing research and individualized approaches.Real-life success stories are shared, including cases where FECO contributed to significant improvements in cancer outcomes, emphasizing the importance of community and evidence-based support.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.
