Sweden has the highest number of Unicorns in the world outside of Silicon Valley. Jim Dowling is the founder of Hopsworks.ai and he hopes to join the club of billion dollar companies and that's why he's based there. He's an Irishman whose company makes the picks and shovels for machine learning in the AI age. He also wants to keep the AI talent and technology in Europe but is but is worried that the continent lacks its own technology or infrastructural independence in AI. Joe spoke to Jim this morning on the show.
Saturday Nov 23 saw the biggest attendance yet for the ICCS annual gala and Beacon Award ceremony, which was held at the Elite Marina Hotel in Stockholm, and needless to say the Irish In Sweden podcast was there to record what went on behind the scenes! Hear from board members, guests, keynote speaker Brian O'Toole and award-winner Jim Dowling among others as we re-live what was an incredible night for the Swedish-Irish business community. This podcast was made with the kind financial support of the ICCS.
Chris Ragan, the founding Director of McGill University's Max Bell School of Public Policy, and the Chair of Canada's Ecofiscal Commission, joins Vassy Kapelos for a quick fact check on Canada's carbon pricing. On today's show: Listen to Vassy's full conversation with Francois-Phillipe Champagne on Newfoundland Premier Andrew Furey's call to halt the carbon tax increase. Dr. Jim Dowling, a Senior Scientist of Genetics & Genome Biology, answers this week's 'The Explainer' question on gene therapy. The Daily Debrief Panel with Tim Powers, Scott Reid, and Kathleen Monk. Listen to Vassy's full conversation with Bob Rae, a Permanent Representative of Canada to the United Nations, on the road ahead for Haiti after the country's Prime Minister resigned over civil unrest.
Join the Women in Seed Production Network as we interview Jim Dowling, Western Regional Field Lead, for advice on leading with trust and demonstrating vulnerability. In this episode, we dive into learning from failures and moving forward while also gaining self-awareness along the journey. As an ally, Jim leans into our questions and explores the importance of building relationships to help accomplish great things. He highlights some tactics for building trust, leveraging self and team assessment insights, and the importance of candor and feedback to further teamwork and ultimately the outcomes we seek. Jim reminds us that taking risks are necessary to push ourselves to grow, and even if we don't get it right, failures are essential building blocks towards a better future. We discuss how to utilize those building blocks as a new paved road, presenting greater opportunities for those that come behind us or guide us to new paths and experiences. Jim is passionate about creating space for others to grow and thrive, so we hope you will enjoy the dialogue and insights he shares in this episode!

Ethan Schachter was born with a rare genetic disease, nemaline myopathy type 2—a type of muscular dystrophy—that disproportionately affects Ashkenazi Jews. It's not always fatal, but Ethan, at 20 months, needs round-the-clock care, including a machine to help him breathe and a tube for nutrition. He can't walk or talk because his muscles are too weak. Currently, there is no cure. Doctors have only known about this form of the disease for about 15 years. And it's so rare—only one in 47,000 people have it—that couples trying to conceive aren't even screened for it in Canada, where Ethan is one of maybe four or five kids who live with the condition. Ethan's mother, Toba Cooper, wants to change things. She recently launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise more than a million dollars to help researchers develop a made-in-Canada treatment for her son's condition. And she hopes to raise awareness so the condition could be added to the list of eligible tests. Cooper joins The CJN Daily today along with Jim Dowling, a doctor at SickKids Hospital in Toronto, who is one of the world's foremost experts on this rare disease. What we talked about: Donate to Toba Cooper's crowdfunder Learn more about nemaline myopathy type 2 Learn about Jewish genetic diseases awareness testing Credits The CJN Daily is written and hosted by Ellin Bessner (@ebessner on Twitter).

After Michael Pirovolakis was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease as a toddler, his family raised $3 million, funding gene therapy in a groundbreaking clinical trial where the four-year-old is the only participant. Guest host Michelle Shephard talks to Michael's father, Terry Pirovolakis, about the search for a cure; and Dr. Jim Dowling, a clinician-scientist at SickKids Hospital, and the lead doctor on Michael's clinical trial.

Tod Warmack and his brother Scott along with partner Jim Dowling in Tallahassee, Florida collaborated with graphic designer Kevin Morgan to bring to life the vision of a modern-day Trans Am. And that’s exactly what this team did building these iconic cars for enthusiasts. Starting as Trans Am Depot in 2011, Tod, his brother, and their team, partnered with legendary Hurst Performance making history as the first ever licensed Hurst Edition Trans Am. Demand grew and their small shop became a full production facility. Today, Trans Am Depot and Trans Am Worldwide builds retro-mods, restores classics as well as offering new technology muscle cars with a classic retro look and feel. You can enjoy Tod on Discovery’s all-new Trans Am TV show that premieres today, Tuesday, October 2 at 10:00 PM ET/PT. If you missed yesterday’s Cars Yeah show with Tod’s brother Scott, you’ll find it on the Cars Yeah website.

Jim Dowling, Managing Director of HSE Cake, is the featured interview on this week's edition of SB Weekly. HSE Cake is a brand engagement and entertainment agency based in London that works with a number of high-profile sports sponsors including Barclays, EE and Coca-Cola. It was created last year when Havas Sports & Entertainment and Cake - sister agencies within the Havas group - joined forces to work as one combined unit. Listen to this week's episode to hear Jim discuss bringing best practice from music and entertainment into sport; how analytics are helping sponsors make better investment decision; why labeling people as 'creative' can be dangerous; his most memorable brand campaigns, including Pokémon and EE; keeping on top of the rapidly-changing social and digital media landscape; and the continuing shift of sponsors and advertisers into content-creators.
