Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Today’s episode was produced and recorded live on-site at the Edmonton Convention Center in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada for the RIMS Canada Conference! Justin got to interview some big influencers in the Canadian Risk Management community and ask some questions specifically around technology.   The first guest is Shawn Kanungo, a Disruption Strategist who has been with Deloitte for several years and was the conference’s MC. He opened the event by coming out in an ELA (an electronic autonomous vehicle) being piloted for municipalities in Canada. What’s so exciting about this interview is that they actually recorded from the same vehicle that had just made its circles on the exhibit hall floor! The next interview Justin conducted was with Jim Swanson. Jim is the recently retired Director of Insurance and Risk Management for the Province of Manitoba, as well as an active RIMS member. Together, Justin and Jim discuss his career, the ERM processes, and frameworks he put in place for the Province of Manitoba. Next up to talk with Justin is Ren Matterson, the immediate Past Chair for the RIMS Canada Council. They speak about the state of the profession in North America and how certain Canadian risk management practices have served as an international trendsetter. Last but certainly not least, Justin speaks about Branden Necula, the Channel Manager of CompuVision — an Edmonton-based IT services company. Just as unique to conducting the interview in an ELA, this time Justin walks the exhibit floor while Branden remotely operated and spoke from a BEAM (which you have to tune in to learn more about!) They discuss how the risk management profession can prepare for technology and disruption.   Tune in for this not-to-miss episode!   Key Takeaways: [:15] All about today’s episode!

Jim Swanson, Global CIO for Bayer AG, joins Lisa and shares his 30-year's worth of IT knowledge and why he thinks people are crucial to the planet's long-term sustainability.

The most important road trip ever taken was over 2,000 years ago when Jesus walked the road to Calvary. It wasn't a glamorous road trip. There were no fancy drinks along the way, no stops to take in the sights. There wasn't even a grand destination to look forward to at the end.  But that one trip gave each of us the opportunity to have a face-to-face relationship with the one true God.  This is our final January Flashback episode. Next week we will be back in the studio with all new material. We look forward to seeing you then!

Jim Swanson shares his journey of raising llamas at the Fantasy Land Ranch in Bigfork, MT and raising vegetables in a Montana rain forest climate. Living near the famous Flathead Cherry Orchards on the East Side of Flathead Lake, Jim turns hard work and initiative into a successful life living in Montana’s beautiful outdoors. Tell us a little about yourself. Bigfork (elevation 2900’) is like a rain forrest. We get double the rainfall in Kalispell, same with snowfall, they’ll get a couple of inches in town and we’ll end up with a foot out of the deal. The confluence of the Columbia range runs up there behind me and then there’s the beginning of the Swan Range and where those two ranges meet, is what makes it’s own little weather system there. The lake has a lot to do with it, the extra moisture in the air helps with the greenery and ability to grow fruit. Born in Whitefish grew up in Eureka. Tell me about your first gardening experience? My memory with my first gardening experiences was with Mom, always had a garden, real nice flower gardens and vegetables. My introduction and she was totally organic herself, so that was the only kind of garden we ever really knew. What does organic gardening/earth friendly mean to you? Just pretty much making your own soil. Not adding any artificial nutrients or anything like that. Who or what inspired you to start using organic techniques? Just knowing how she did it. She mixed her own own soil. Using cow manure mixed it horse manure and with sawdust. Started with the llama dung down here at Fantasy Land. Have 6 females now, no males, a few years back had a grizzly bear come in and get our baby up and coming male, and then our oldest male, poor Benny he succumbed to old age. don’t have a breeding program anymore. Just on a whim, the mountain trader will get you every time. Reading there were 11 llamas for sale, make an offer. Had all this property – just a little over 5 acres. A buddy of mine’s dad had an orchard on the lake, and ended up with a whole bunch of old wire for helping fence a cherry orchard. Once my property was fenced I was just looking for something to raise, so in the middle of one of the winters (1996) over 10 feet of snow in the yard here, renting a bobcat to keep the road open and it had started in early Nov and snowed feet at a time, and it was just after Thanksgiving, we got a huge snowstorm and then at Christmas time we bought the llamas. Fantasy Land Llamas. How did you learn how to garden organically? From my mom, helping her in the garden watching her mixing her soil. As soon as I had the llamas, creating as much dung as they do, the males can crap in the same spot as Benny had a couple different spots, always in the rock pile, the females, would just crap where they were eating, so they started keeping their dung in the same pile, and that makes it so easy to clean up, and I have a big spot where I keep it. Tell us about something that grew well this year. Tomato crop. Peppers all different kinds, have a little bit of hot house on our front porch covered with clear plastic. They all did real good. Wasn’t a real phenomenal year for squash, but still ended up with a couple of 100 lb., still have a few spaghetti, and butternuts. Squash generally does real well too. What do you think led to that success? Mainly the soil, using the composted llama dung, when I do my beds I just take and add more of the raw dung in and mix that up a bit and then put some of the compost too as well. Grow right in the ground in prepared beds. Got a couple of different Costco structures -10‘ wide x 20’ long, and I just leave the weed mat down, cause I don’t have time for weeding. It’s just amazing. Used to just use black plastic, anything to keep the light off of the other seeds. Is there something you would do different this year coming up or want to try/new that you’re excited about? Got some new plants... Support this podcast
