This week we are flashing back to a previous conversation from earlier this year. It's a powerful conversation and I would like to bring it back into the spotlight this week for those who may have missed the original airing. Enjoy... Taking over the family farm is about far more than land, equipment, and financial statements — it's about legacy, identity, pressure, and responsibility. In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy sits down with Trevor MacLean from MNP to explore the emotional and business realities of transitioning a farm from one generation to the next. Together, they unpack what it really means to be "walking in the shadows" of previous generations while trying to build a future of your own. Trevor shares insights from working with farm families across Canada, discussing the emotional weight many successors carry, common transition mistakes, communication challenges, leadership shifts, and how families can create healthier and more successful succession plans. Whether you're the next generation stepping into leadership or the senior generation preparing for transition, this conversation offers practical wisdom and honest perspective on one of the most important journeys in agriculture. Episode Highlights • What "walking in the shadows" really looks like on family farms • The emotional and financial pressure facing the next generation • Balancing respect for tradition while building your own vision • Common mistakes during leadership transition • Key conversations farm families need to have early • What a healthy farm transition timeline can look like • How senior generations can better support successors • Encouragement for those carrying the weight of the family legacy Timestamps 01:47 – Introduction to the episode and guest Trevor MacLean 03:48 – What "walking in the shadows" means for the next generation 09:59 – Emotional and financial pressures of taking over the family farm 20:18 – Respecting legacy while creating your own vision 28:28 – Common transition and leadership mistakes 38:48 – Important conversations families need to have early 49:08 – What healthy succession timelines look like 55:48 – How senior generations can support successors 1:01:48 – Trevor's advice for the next generation of farm leaders 1:05:43 – Encouragement for those carrying the weight of the family farm legacy 1:07:48 – Closing thoughts and final takeaways These conversations matter and the more openly we talk about the emotional and business realities of transition, the stronger the future of agriculture becomes. Leave a review, share the episode on social media, and help us continue bringing impactful agriculture conversations to the industry.

Is the populist right opposed to liberalism and the free market? Does this mark a change in what it is to be right-wing, or was it a mistake to see populism as far right in the first place? Or is there an unavoidable conflict on the right between maintaining the status quo and being conservative, and enabling change through the free market?At the outset of the use of the term, to be on the right was to back the aristocracy, authority and the status quo. In contrast, the liberals, known as Whigs in 18th century Britain, backed change, freedom and the rights of the individual. But in recent decades to be in favour of the free market and against the state itself came to be seen as right-wing. Now there's a further twist. The new populist right, often described as far right by its critics, has become critical of some aspects of the free market. Trump's tariffs are in support of current jobs and against the market. Le Pen is against big corporations.

More than 90 active wildfires are burning across British Columbia, with tens of thousands forced from their homes (many of which are destroyed). It's prompted a province-wide state of emergency, yet B.C.'s not alone. More than 300 wildfires are active across Canada as we record this conversation with award-winning environmental journalist Arno Kopecky (3:00), who lays out the reality of the situation, what it'll take to turn around the "wildfire season" trend, and the political implications of it all.

In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas welcomes back Dr. Chris Smith — historian at Coventry University, author of The Hidden History of Bletchley Park and The Last Cambridge Spy, and a returning friend of the podcast for his third appearance — to explore one of the most remarkable and troubling stories in modern British history: the Cambridge Five. Five young men, recruited at Cambridge in the 1930s, rose to the very heart of the British establishment — the Foreign Office, MI5, MI6, and Bletchley Park — and spent decades passing its secrets to Moscow. Dr. Smith takes Jonathan through the full arc: the political radicalization of the 1930s that made Soviet recruitment possible, the individual stories of Kim Philby, Guy Burgess, Donald Maclean, and Anthony Blunt, and — above all — the fascinating, overlooked figure of John Cairncross, the ironmonger's son from a Scottish mining town who was never quite let into the fold, mocked for his accent, made to fetch the tea, and who nonetheless walked out of Bletchley Park with raw decrypts stuffed in his trousers and fed them to Moscow. The episode covers the Battle of Kursk and what Cairncross's intelligence really contributed, the extraordinary Venona Project that began unravelling the ring, why MI5 couldn't prosecute the men they knew were guilty, how Anthony Blunt accidentally revealed himself by threatening to sue Private Eye, and why the story of the Cambridge Five — class, betrayal, embarrassment, and the establishment protecting its own — still grips Britain seventy years on. Links The Last Cambridge Spy by Dr. Chris Smith The Hidden History of Bletchley Park by Dr. Chris Smith My Silent War by Kim Philby My Five Cambridge Friends by Yuri Modin (better than any spy novel — though not entirely true) Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy — John le Carré Anglotopia Podcast: Episode 78 - Did Churchill Know? Unraveling the Myths of the Coventry Blitz and Wartime Espionage Anglotopia Podcast: Episode 86: Codebreakers, Spies, and Secrets - The Truth About Bletchley Park and Alan Turing Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways The Cambridge Five were not recruited because they were ideological fanatics — they were recruited because the 1930s presented them with a genuine political crisis: mass unemployment, fascism rising across Europe, a British establishment incapable of responding, and the Labour Party wiped out in 1931. Soviet communism appeared to be the only organized force willing to fight the Nazis. Kim Philby did not seek out the NKVD — he fell into their hands almost by accident when he went to work with the Viennese underground and met Litzy Friedmann, whose contacts led straight to Soviet intelligence. His recruitment was as much luck as design. John Cairncross was the only one of the five who did not come from the upper-middle or upper class. Born in 1913 in Lesmahagow, a mining town south of Glasgow, the son of an ironmonger and one of eight children, he arrived at Cambridge already primed with a chip on his shoulder — and was immediately reminded by Anthony Blunt and others that he was not quite one of them. Guy Burgess was literally the last person the Soviets wanted to recruit — their own list had him at the bottom. He was a prolific drunk who couldn't keep secrets and would tell people he was a spy when intoxicated. They eventually let him in because he'd worked it out and it was better to have him inside the tent. Cairncross's route into Bletchley Park came through losing his job in Lord Hankey's office when Churchill became Prime Minister and cleared out Chamberlain's people. He simply asked the right person to write the right letter, and was hired to work in Hut Three. Nobody ran adequate background checks — being a Cambridge man was effectively sufficient. Stealing secrets from Bletchley was almost embarrassingly easy. Cairncross would take raw decrypts from the room where they were waiting to be incinerated, stuff them in his trousers, walk out unchecked, get on the train to London, and hand them to his handler. Getting in without a pass was dangerous; leaving was essentially unmonitored. Cairncross's contribution to the Battle of Kursk — providing intelligence that allowed the Red Army Air Force to locate and destroy several hundred Luftwaffe aircraft on the ground — was real, but its precise importance is genuinely contested. The volume and quality of intelligence over years, not any single document, is what made the Cambridge Five so valuable. The reason none of the five were prosecuted comes down to evidence — specifically the Venona Project. The Americans were never going to allow their top-secret ongoing cryptanalytic operation to be exposed in a British criminal court, and without that evidence, MI5 had nothing admissible. The deal offered to Blunt and Cairncross: tell us everything and we guarantee you'll never be prosecuted. Anthony Blunt accidentally exposed himself by attempting to sue Private Eye for insinuating he was the fourth man. To bring a case you have to go public — which immediately told everyone in the journalistic world exactly who he was, and forced Margaret Thatcher to make a statement in the House of Commons using qualified parliamentary immunity. The Cambridge Five story endures because it is simultaneously a great spy thriller, a story about British class and the establishment's habit of protecting its own, and a genuinely embarrassing episode that helped bring down governments. John le Carré based the villain of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy directly on Kim Philby, and the story has never quite gone away. Soundbites "Cairncross was mocked for his accent, made to fetch the tea, passed over — and went on to smuggle raw decrypts out of Bletchley Park stuffed in his trousers, feeding Moscow intelligence that shaped the greatest tank battle in history." — Jonathan's introduction. "In nineteen thirty-one, the Labour party basically gets annihilated in the general election. And for a lot of these quite radical individuals, it seems now that the establishment doesn't have the moral fortitude to address any of these issues with any kind of clarity or energy." — Chris on why Cambridge radicals turned to communism. "Philby literally walks up to a communist lecturer at Cambridge and says, what can I do for the movement? And this guy dispatches him off to Vienna, where he joins the Viennese underground and meets Litzy." — Chris on how Kim Philby's recruitment happened almost by accident. "Guy Burgess is literally the bottom of the list. He couldn't keep a secret, liked to get drunk all the time, and when drunk would literally tell people he was a spy. He would actually do that. And everyone would be like, he's drunk, talking rubbish." — Chris on the spy ring's most problematic recruit. "He just stuffs raw decrypts down his trousers and walks out of the park. Gets on the train to London. That's all it took. Getting in without a pass, you might get shot. But leaving — no one ever checked him." — Chris on how Cairncross stole secrets from Bletchley Park. "It's not the one James Bond, Jason Bourne style moment that we kind of imagine from TV. It's the volume, quantity, and quality over years which makes them so important to the Soviet Union." — Chris on why the Cambridge Five mattered. "The United States are not going to allow you to have their top-secret project come out in a British criminal court case. They haven't got admissible evidence. And everybody involved probably knows it." — Chris on why none of the five were ever prosecuted. "In the act of threatening to bring a case to court, you have to go public. So why would Anthony Blunt be suing Private Eye over Andrew Boyle's book? He basically revealed himself as a spy. And that meant Thatcher had to make a statement in the House of Commons." — Chris on how Blunt accidentally exposed himself. "Novels like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy are literally written about Kim Philby. John le Carré had been an MI6 officer in the sixties and knew full well what had happened. It's not only better than fiction — it's also inspired the best fiction." — Chris on why the story endures. "It's about the establishment being untrustworthy. It brings down governments. It literally dogs them for decades. Every time there's a new generation of politicians, this story comes back again. It's the gift that keeps on giving." — Chris on why Britain can't let go of the Cambridge Five.

We dig into why a child's developing brain (myelination, the hippocampus) may respond to repeated heading differently than an adult's, then lay out the strongest evidence for restricting heading in kids under 12, including real-world results from youth hockey's body-checking bans. We give equal time to the case for caution, including genuine peer-reviewed findings that complicate the picture. We also break down an angle rarely covered: the physics of the ball itself, using a Guinness World Record Premier League shot to show why "the ball got lighter" doesn't necessarily mean heading got safer. Finally, we look at what happens when rule changes are actually tried, and the kind of resistance to change that has nothing to do with the science at all. 02:45 - Segment One: Why a Child's Brain Is Different07:15 - Segment Two: The Case For Changing the Rules15:40 - Segment Three: The Case Against — Or At Least, For Caution21:25 - Segment Four: The Ball Itself — Why “It's Not Heavy and Wet Anymore” Doesn't Settle It27:30 - Segment Five: What's Already Been Tried31:30 - Segment Six: The Old Guard — Resistance That Isn't About the Science 34:30 - Segment Seven: Where This Leaves Us * Dr Julie Stamm Episode 28: Kids, Youth Sport and Concussion with Dr Julie Stamm* Dr Julie Stamm Episode 66: The Brain on Youth Sports, Athletic Trainers and Concussion Research with Dr Julie Stamm* Dr Robert Cantu Episode 81: Concussion, CTE and Repetitive Head Impacts with Dr Robert Cantu  Twitter: @first concussionFacebook: Headfirst: A concussion podcastInstagram: Headfirst_ Concussion  Email: headfirstconcussion@gmail.comEpisode — Reference List1.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! Today's episode takes on one big, hairy question: what's actually happening to the Canadian standard of living? To help sort it out, we have one of our all-time favourite economists – or as Maclean's calls her – "the caring person's economist." Armine Yalnizyan is here! She's a brilliant policy thinker, one of the leading voices on Canada's economy who coined the term "she-cession" to describe the pandemic's toll on women, and she's currently an Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers, deep into a report on private equity's growing footprint in Canadian care services.Armine walks us through why GDP per capita is a lousy way to measure how Canadians are actually doing, why the wealth gap between the top 40% and bottom 40% is now the widest Statistics Canada has ever recorded, and why she thinks the care economy (childcare, eldercare, healthcare) is the biggest lever Canada isn't pulling. She has a warning for Canada that private equity moving into care services could mean Canadians paying more and getting less, the same way it's played out in veterinary clinics, and lays out some zero-cost policy fixes the Carney government could adopt tomorrow if it wanted to protect the sector. And Armine has some pointed words for Shopify's Tobi Lütke, who mused online recently in support of idea to give the wealthy more votes than the poor. She's not exactly convinced society's richest are the deep thinkers they're sometimes made out to be. A sharp, wide-ranging conversation about who's actually benefiting from the growth in the Canadian economy right now, and who's being left behind.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Rachel Phan about her powerful memoir, ⁠Restaurant Kid: A Memoir of Family & Belonging⁠ (Douglas & McIntyre, 2025). A warm and poignant narrative about finding one's self amidst the grind of restaurant life, the cross-generational immigrant experience, and a daughter's attempts to connect with parents who have always been just out of reach. When she was three years old, Rachel Phan met her replacement. Instead of a new sibling, her mother and father's time and attention were suddenly devoted entirely to their new family restaurant. For her parents—whose own families fled China during Japanese occupation and then survived bombs and starvation during the war in Vietnam—it was a dream come true. For Phan, it was something quite different. Overnight, she became a restaurant kid, living on the periphery of her own family and trying her best to stay out of the way. As Phan grew up, the restaurant was the most stalwart and suffocating member of her family. For decades, it's been both their crowning achievement and the origin of so much of their pain and suffering: screaming matches complete with smashed dishes; bodies worn down by long hours and repetitive strain; and tenuous relationships where the family loved one another deeply without ever really knowing each other. In Restaurant Kid, Phan seeks to examine the way her life has been shaped by the rigid boxes placed around her. She had to be a “good daughter,” never asking questions, always being grateful. She had to be a “real Canadian,” watching hockey and speaking English so flawlessly that her tongue has since forgotten how to contort around Cantonese tones. As the only Chinese girl at school, she had to alternate between being the sidekick, geek, or Asian fetish, depending on whose gaze was on her. Now, three decades after their restaurant first opened, Phan's parents are cautiously talking about retirement. As an adult, Phan's “good daughter” role demands something new of her—and a chance to get to know her parents away from the restaurant. In Restaurant Kid, Phan deftly combines candour, wit and insight to craft a vibrant and important narrative on the strength and foibles of family, and how we come to understand ourselves. Rachel Phan is a Chinese Canadian author. A graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University's Master of Journalism program, she and her work have been featured on CBC, Huffpost, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Toronto Star, the National Post, Chatelaine, and Maclean's. Her instant national bestselling book, Restaurant Kid: A Memoir of Family and Belonging (2025), was named one of CBC Books' Best Books of 2025 and longlisted for Canada Reads in 2026.

This week, Prime Minister Carney is in Turkey to attend the NATO summit. Ahead of leaving for Ankara, he announced the procurement of 12 submarines from the German company TKMS, in what's expected to be the largest military procurement deal in Canada's history.Carney says that these submarines, along with a slew of other military investments, will allow Canada to assert our full sovereignty in the Arctic.Today, we are focusing on the Arctic. Earlier this year – the Liberal government announced a plan to modernize and expand the military's footprint in the North. This is all in a bid to assert sovereignty in a region where Russia and China's influence is growing.Anne Shibata Casselman is a science journalist based in B.C. She makes the argument that the path to asserting that sovereignty must put the people who live on the land and have claim to it at the centre. She just wrote a deeply reported piece in Maclean's about this, called “The Arctic Needs Defending. Canada Isn't Ready.”For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Almost without exception successful horse trainers are hard workers. There's a 35 year old Grafton based Mum who's in accord with the quote made famous by former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who said “hard work won't always get you to the top but with ordinary luck will get you pretty near.” Samantha's been around horses from the toddling stage. After notable success in the pony club and campdrafting pursuits, she transitioned to thoroughbreds by becoming a trackwork rider at the busy Grafton training precinct. A successful two and a half year stint as a jockey triggered her interest in the training of the animal and that's where we find her today. Sam works a team of twenty horses from Hosier Lodge right on the Grafton track and has already established a reputation as a very serious young trainer in the  northern region. Samantha and husband Matt McGuren live 20 kms outside Grafton requiring very early starts for both. Matt is currently having a break from the rigours of the sweat box but still has a significant input into stable duties. Sam says he rides a number of horses before heading off to his day job. She pays tribute to Matt's skills as a professional jockey and the other talents he's been able to develop along the way.  Sam says she doesn't ride as much trackwork these days but still needs to be on standby. She acknowledges the input of her stable apprentice Grace Palmer and a handful of other jockeys who help out from time to time. The young mother talks about her darling daughters Makella and Addison. Thirteen year old Makella already has her future well and truly earmarked. Sam talks about her lifetime passion for campdrafting and the nasty injury she suffered three years ago. She still marvels at her good luck in finding the right horse to kick start her training career. Digital online purchase Fortyfive Parklane won 6 races for his fledgling trainer. Sam gives a shoutout to a few special horses who helped to get her training career up and running. She looks back on childhood days at Maclean near Grafton and her early fascination with horses. Samantha looks  back on her introduction to trackwork at Grafton. She was besotted from “day 1.” The dedicated horsewoman reflects on her apprenticeship to Grafton trainer Terry Commerford whose support was invaluable. Sam remembers the thrill of her first race win and the momentum she was able to generate during her apprenticeship. That momentum enabled her to become champion northern rivers apprentice in the 2010/2011 season. She had a soft spot for the Commerford trained Montana Hilton who remains the favourite from her race riding days. Sam looks back on the transfer of her indentures to respected Taree trainer Ross Stitt who also gave her partner Matt McGuren a role in his busy operation. She talks of her admiration for Sydney based fellow female rider Kathy O'Hara.  This is a laid back chat with a dedicated young trainer who sees herself being around thoroughbreds for the duration of her working life.

Alex Eames speaks with Moshe Lander about whether Canada's billion-dollar FIFA bill is a smart investment, or if politicans and taxpayers are being sold a bill of goods. Moshe argues that while the World Cup will absolutely be fun and meaningful for fans, the public was sold a dollars-and-cents case that does not really hold up once you factor in temporary jobs, displaced spending, security costs, and FIFA's ability to push expenses onto host cities.

Antonia Senior's new book, "Stalin's Apostles", challenges what you may have believed about the Cambridge Five, a group of British citizens who spied for the Soviet Union. Antonia argues that their actions during the Cold War have long been romanticised in popular culture., however, the reality is far more complex and tragic. Kim Philby, Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, and John Cairncross, were not merely glamorous rogues; their espionage activities had dire consequences for countless individuals in Eastern and Central Europe. Antonia challenges the traditional narrative that often portrays them as victims of circumstance, highlighting instead the profound impact their betrayals had on nations and individuals who suffered under Stalinist regimes. Drawing on recently released MI5 documents and various international archives, the episode sheds light on the meticulous research that uncovers the broader implications of the Cambridge Five's actions.

A small 1994 newspaper clipping from The Scotsman we came across writes about a skull being uncovered on the island of Coll, in a place long known as Hangman's Hill and of the islanders frightened enough to ask the church to bless the ground.

What can Tom Cruise's last impossible mission teach us about usefulness in the digital age? Aled Maclean-Jones argues that dangling from cargo planes, soldering hard drives, and skydiving nineteen consecutive times is really an extended tribute to embodied knowledge. Listen as MacLean-Jones and EconTalk's Russ Roberts analyze the unique concept of competence presented in Cruise's films. Along the way, they cover London cabbies who refuse to use Waze, a fatal dive at the sound barrier, solo sailing around the globe, and the small triumph of fixing a broken toilet by oneself. They conclude by exploring the possibility that physical mastery may come to matter more as computers take over the work of the mind.

Former NHL President, GM and head coach Doug MacLean (5:04) joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne for Off-the-Rails Friday! Mac shares his thoughts on the Canadiens pushing the Sabres to the brink,  why the Leafs should consider trading down in the draft, what went wrong for the Wild against the Avalanche, the league's punishment on the Golden Knights after John Tortorella shunned the media, what the Leafs should look for in their next head coach, and whether the Panthers can swing for Brady Tkachuk in a trade centered around the ninth-overall pick.

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we are joined by author Piers Blofeld to discuss his new book, Master of Lies: The Untold Story of Anthony Blunt, which re‑examines the most underestimated member of the Cambridge Spy Ring.Anthony Blunt was exposed as a Soviet agent in 1979 – long after the defections of Burgess, Maclean and Philby. For decades, he has been treated as something of an afterthought, a cultured art historian who happened to pass a few secrets to the Russians during the war. But Blofeld's research paints a very different picture – one in which Blunt was not a minor player but a master of deception whose actions had catastrophic consequences.Blunt was recruited by the NKVD in the 1930s, joined MI5 during the war, and rose to become Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures. Officially, he stopped spying in 1945. In reality, he continued operating well into the 1950s and 60s, using his flat to debrief agents and helping to investigate the very defections of his fellow spies.But his most significant work was not stealing documents – it was disinformation. Blofeld argues that the “postgraduate level” of espionage is misleading your enemy, and Blunt was a virtuoso. He ran a deception operation that mirrored the famous “Garbo” double‑agent network, feeding the Germans false information that helped ensure the success of D‑Day. Crucially, Blunt's information arrived at German High Command via Sweden four hours before Garbo's did – making the deception far more convincing.Yet just three months later, Blunt sabotaged Operation Market Garden, releasing detailed Allied order of battle to the Germans. The result was 16,000 Allied casualties, a failed advance into Germany, and a prolonged war that allowed Stalin to seize Eastern Europe. Blunt's betrayal, Blofeld argues, directly contributed to the partition of Berlin and the shape of the Cold War.We also explore how Blunt was protected by the British establishment for decades, how he edited incriminating evidence after Burgess and Maclean fled, and why Margaret Thatcher – herself misled by her own security services – finally named him in 1979.**Topics covered:**- The Cambridge Spy Ring and Anthony Blunt's role- Blunt's continued espionage after 1945- Disinformation as the highest form of espionage- The Garbo deception and Blunt's mirror operation- Operation Market Garden and Blunt's sabotage- The cover‑up and protection of Blunt by MI5- Thatcher's outing of Blunt and its aftermath---*Piers Blofeld's *Master of Lies* is available from all good bookshops.

Freshwater shrimps are difficult to study. They're nocturnal, they live in leaf litter, and yet they are involved in both commercial fishing and the pet trade, making research on their diversity critical. Dr. Prakash Sanjeevi and Maclean Santos have a new strategy for adapting to these challenges: harnessing the power of community. Through educational videos, social media, workshops, and more they provide training to already-interested hobbyists, who in turn help them find rare specimens for papers like this one, in which they redescribe a species that hadn't been seen in Indian waters for 72 years. “I truly feel that it is not the talent which survives the long term in this research game, It is more of the hard work and it is more about how much you like the species because if you love a species, you will work really hard for the species” says Maclean. Listen in as we discuss the fascinating morphology, biology, and joy provided by these freshwater shrimps.Maclean Santos and Prakash Sanjeevi's paper “Rediscovery of the genus Atyopsis Chace, 1983 (Decapoda: Atyidae) in mainland India following a 72-year gap” is in volume 5722 of Zootaxa. It can be found here: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5722.4.7A transcript of this episode can be found here: Maclean Santos and Prakash Sanjeevi - TranscriptEpisode image credit: Maclean SantosRead their recent paper describing a new species from the same region: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5194.3.5Follow Maclean and Prakash on Instagram:Prakash: @sanjeeviprakash Maclean: @homeaquatMore pictures and information on GBIF: https://www.gbif.org/species/7839136Be sure to follow New Species on Bluesky (@newspeciespodcast.bsky.social) and Instagram (@NewSpeciesPodcast) and “like” the podcast page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/NewSpeciesPodcast).Music in this podcast is "No More (Instrumental)," by HaTom (https://fanlink.to/HaTom)If you have questions or feedback about this podcast, please e-mail us at NewSpeciesPodcast@gmail.comIf you would like to support this podcast and enjoy bonus episodes, please consider doing so at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPodIf you would like to make a one-time contribution to this podcast, you can do so at https://buymeacoffee.com/newspeciespod

What does it really mean to be union, and what does it take to make the brotherhood worth fighting for?In this episode, Ryan sits down with Lori Maclean, a former BC Hydro HR professional and IBEW Local 258 staff member turned business manager candidate, who brings a rare dual perspective from both sides of the table.
