This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, Manisha Pande, and Anand Vardhan are joined by diplomatic and foreign affairs expert Manoj Joshi. The Pahalgam terror attack was at the centre of the discussion, with the panel exploring various aspects of the incident, including security lapses, recent developments, India's immediate diplomatic response, its potential long-term impact, and possible future measures India might take to handle the situation.Highlighting the severity of the attack, Manoj says, “This is happening for the first time in the past 20 years, where defenceless tourists have been attacked like this.” Remembering the Chittisinghpura Sikh massacre in Kashmir, Raman says, “The buildup of terror attacks has significantly changed over the past 24 years.” In light of Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir's statements about the attack, Manoj comments, “There is an obvious split in the Pakistan Army after Munir's appointment. The Pakistan Army has a tradition: whoever the chief is, everyone listens to him. But now, the situation is different. So, it's a move to survive in one's position.” Referring to JD Vance's presence in India during the attack, Anand points out, “Security should have been much stronger when foreign dignitaries were visiting India.”The panel agrees that Kashmiri people are unanimously protesting against this terror attack. Manisha remarks, “An average Kashmiri today doesn't see their future with Pakistan.”Focusing on how world leaders are viewing this attack and what their standpoints might be in the evolving diplomatic relationship between India and Pakistan, Abhinandan says, “When two nuclear-armed states are on a standoff, it's everybody's business. It's the world's business.”This and a lot more. Tune in!We have a page for subscribers to send letters to our shows. If you want to write to Hafta, click here.

Deze aflevering van de Potloodcast met Munir de Vries vond plaats tijdens het Illustratie festival, getiteld Pandora's Microwave bij Kapitaal en de HKU. Beeldend kunstenaar en illustrator Munir de Vries brengt kleur in de wereld, en dit is letterlijk zichtbaar in zijn muurschilderingen, waarin beweging en zijn achtergrond in graffiti naar voren komen. Het zoeken naar verbinding is een centraal thema in zijn oeuvre. Onder zijn opdrachtgevers bevinden zich onder andere de Gemeente Amsterdam en de VPRO. Hij bracht meer dan vier maanden door in Addis Abeba voor een kunstproject, waarbij hij samen met lokale betrokkenen openbare kunst heeft gerealiseerd, in samenwerking met ontheemde bewoners van de stad. Kijk hier voor de besproken beelden en de tekening van Munir in het grote potloodcast schetsboek.

So that is the one area of business psychology where, individually, it assists.Munir Haque: [00:00:33] Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Boardroom 180 Podcast. I'm your host, Munir Haque, an executive coach and senior board strategist. I have partnered with Action Edge Executive Development to lead their governance and political acumen division. In each episode, we meet with governance leaders and step into their boardrooms where decisions shape the world around us.Munir Haque: [00:00:53] Hello everybody, today I thought we'd do something a little bit different on the podcast. I wanted to turn the tables and talk a little bit more about Action Edge business coaching, Action Edge Executive Development. They are the sponsors of this, and I want to tell you a little bit more about my team, the people I associate with that are responsible for bringing this podcast to you. Right now I have with me the, I think your terms are, managing partners and owners of Action Edge Executive. Jarrod Stanton is with me, and Kevin Simpson. Welcome to the podcast, gents. I'm a little bit light on the history of the company, so I thought I'd have you guys on, first to talk a little bit more about that. Jarrod, you've been doing this for a long time. You're nearing the 20 year mark or so?Jarrod Stanton: [00:01:50] Yeah, that's right. Coming into my 19th year here.Munir Haque: [00:01:52] I want to talk a little bit about our origin story at Action Edge, so why don't you tell us a little bit about how you got into the business and how you launched Action Edge and what you've seen over the years.Jarrod Stanton: [00:02:09] Taking it back even further than that, our parent company was founded in 1993, in Brisbane, Australia. So we're over 30 years now. My aunt was one of the pioneer business coaches in North America under that brand. She started telling me about what she did for a career. I think she knew I was somewhat entrepreneurial, had a little bit of an inkling towards teaching and coaching through school and sports growing up, but also a strong interest in business. It was 2005 we started discussing the idea and I started learning a bit more, and it was September of that year that I reached out to Action Coach to get the certification.Munir Haque: [00:03:03] What was happening in the world at that time that made you think it was the right time to launch something like this?Jarrod Stanton: [00:03:09] Nothing, actually. It was a bunch of worry and fear and concern and "what am I doing?" A lot of my friends at the time were starting families and buying houses. I spent all the money I had and borrowed all the money I could to try to convince my family to lend me some money to buy a piece of paper that said I was able and certified to help business owners in this community. I wouldn't say nothing was really aligning, I had a bit of a sense of adventure. I desperately wanted to get into business, and it was mainly just on account of my aunt's confidence in me and her showing me the attributes I had, the skills I had, and how it related to what she did day in and day out with her clients. She allowed me to shadow a few sessions, and I instantly was amazed at how revered and respected and admired she was, and the sentiments I was hearing from the clients on how the course of their life had been changed. It really gave me an added depth of understanding and appreciation of what she did.Munir Haque: [00:04:28] You're talking about clients a little bit here, so in the early days, what kind of clients did you have and what were the services that you were providing?Jarrod Stanton: [00:04:38] Not a lot different from today. We have never really targeted clients in terms of industry or specialty. I think we're pretty strong minded about the difference between a mentor and a coach. We often joke, but are also often dead serious in the sentiment that one of the biggest benefits we bring to a company is being outside of their industry. There's never...

Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir's remarks on Hinduism, Kashmir and the two-nation theory have invited a sharp rebuke from India. In Episode 1642 of #CutTheClutter Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta lays out the three key takeaways from Munir's address at an Overseas Pakistani Convention in Islamabad, and explains why his speech carried a message for those in the rank and file of the Pakistan Army supportive of ex-PM Imran Khan.----more----Watch Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir's full speech here: https://youtu.be/12oFh0dni0E

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I am Ichha SharmaToday is the 17th of April and here are today's headlinesThe Supreme Court declined to stay changes to the Waqf law after the Centre assured no recruitment would occur in Waqf boards and councils, and that Waqf properties would not be denotified until the next hearing. A three-judge bench led by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna took note of the Centre's statement. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta assured that a short response would be filed within seven days, and after a brief hearing, the bench set the next date for further proceedings.The Supreme Court will examine if a Muslim individual can choose the Indian Succession Act, 1925, over Shariat law for inheritance matters. Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar tagged the petition by Naushad K K, a Kerala lawyer, with a case filed by ex-Muslim Safiya PM. Safiya seeks a declaration that Muslims who renounce their faith should be governed by the Indian Succession Act instead of Muslim personal law.In response to Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir's claim that Kashmir is Pakistan's "jugular vein," India stated the only link is Pakistan's illegal occupation of part of Kashmir, which must end. Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal rejected the remark, emphasizing that Kashmir is a union territory of India. Munir had reiterated Pakistan's stance on Kashmir and defended the two-nation theory, asserting Pakistan's ongoing claim over the region.Chinmay Deore, a 21-year-old computer science student at Wayne State University, faces deportation after US immigration authorities terminated his F-1 student visa. Deore and three other international students filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, claiming their visa terminations were unlawful.

Figuring out the best way around the corporate governance mess we've made is more complicated in books and articles I've tried to set out with some of those steps would be, but I do believe that Canadians and Canadian politicians can take a look at what's going on and fix it. It certainly lies within our power to fix. We made the mess, we can unmake the mess.Munir Haque: [00:00:37] Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Boardroom 180 Podcast. I'm your host Munir Haque, an executive coach and senior board strategist. I have partnered with Action Edge Executive Development to lead their governance and political acumen division. In each episode, we meet with governance leaders and step into their boardrooms, where decisions shape the world around us.Munir Haque: [00:00:57] On today's show, we have Mr. Bryce Tingle. He holds the N. Murry Edwards Chair in Business Law at the University of Calgary. He's a member of the Alberta Securities Commission. He was recently appointed a member of the National Special Advisory Group to the RCMP Integrated Market Enforcement Team. Mr. Tingle is a director of several companies active in the technology and financial industries. He served as general counsel for several tech and natural resources companies.

He is the author of a new book called 'Hard Lessons in Corporate Governance', which was published in 2024 by Cambridge University Press. Welcome to the Boardroom 180 Podcast, Mr. Tingle.Bryce Tingle: [00:01:57] Thank you very much. I'm very pleased to be here.Munir Haque: [00:02:10] You've got quite an impressive resume, but the one thing that stuck out to me was that recently you were appointed to the National Special Advisory Group to the RCMP Integrated Market Enforcement Team. That sounds interesting and intriguing, are you bound by any confidentiality or is that something you can talk to? Is that top secret?Bryce Tingle: [00:02:34] It is confidential, I am bound. But generally speaking, the IMET teams are part of the RCMP, which is our federal law enforcement arm. Here in Canada, they're the part of the RCMP that investigates financial crimes. Things like terrorism financing, Ponzi schemes, fraud, attempts to evade export controls. These things are dealt with by the IMET teams, and there are myself and three other individuals who advise them on those investigations.Munir Haque: [00:03:10] So you're not the person on the ground who's got the little note on their background as they're going to raid corporate offices?Bryce Tingle: [00:03:16] I can't tell you how much I would love to have a bulletproof vest with 'police' written on the back. RCMP windbreaker, it would be great. It would make my life way more interesting than it is.Munir Haque: [00:03:29] Do you at least get a baseball cap or something?Bryce Tingle: [00:03:32] So far, nothing. Free trips to Ottawa is what I get.Munir Haque: [00:03:37] Okay, it's a nice town. To start this off here, you wrote a book called 'Hard Lessons in Corporate Governance'. One of the interesting things that I find is that it's easy to learn from other people's failures. I was asked to talk about failures, and here you are. You wrote a substantial book that covers a lot of failures and the lessons that we learned from them. I won't be asking you the flip side of that, the successes, but maybe we start talking about the book a little bit. What motivated you to write 'Hard Lessons in Corporate Governance'?Bryce Tingle: [00:04:13] I came to it indirectly. By way of background, I spent a decade and a half in private practice, mostly working with startup companies mostly in the tech industry, working with venture capital funds and mezzanine debt lenders. During that time, I did a lot of advising of boards of directors. Then I went in-house as general counsel of a couple of large international groups, and in that capacity also did a lot of advising of boards of directors, even assembling boards of directors. Over the course of that, I advised clients for the companies I worked for in what the current best practices were for corporate governance, and I did so without much second thought. Everyone from the Securities Commissions, to the Wall Street Journal, to the Globe and Mail, to think tanks, to proxy advisers, everyone was more or less saying exactly the same thing. I passed on this advice, and I never really felt like I had any reason to doubt it. When I becam...

In this episode, host Munir Haque's guest is Gareth Gregory, the North American Head of Strategic Energy, Client Delivery, and 59Hydrogen Decarbonization Division of the Energy Security Services North America or ESSNA. Munir and Gareth discuss the intersection of governance, innovation, and the evolving energy landscape. With decades of experience in energy modelling, decarbonization, and hydrogen technology, Gareth shares his journey from entrepreneurship to leading ESSNA and 59Hydrogen. The conversation explores the future of hydrogen as a clean energy solution, the challenges of traditional energy markets, and the importance of balancing risk management with strategic decision-making. Gareth details how ESSNA provides energy modelling and funding focusing on decarbonization and hydrogen technology, while 59Hydrogen specializes in decentralized hydrogen production and purification. He challenges outdated boardroom structures, emphasizing that governance should enable growth rather than restrict it. Governance failures, he points out, often stem from outdated leadership, and companies need to modernize decision-making processes to stay competitive. Munir and Gareth explore the importance of regulatory evolution, industry collaboration, and financial independence. Gareth hopes that ESSNA will become North America's leading decentralized hydrogen provider, with major projects, a hydrogen symposium, and a strong focus on transparency and implementation.About Gareth Gregory: Gareth Gregory is the North American Head of Strategic Energy, Client Delivery, and 59Hydrogen Decarbonization Division of the Energy Security Services North America Inc (ESSNA). He was accountable for the launch, development and stabilization of the North American operation in Calgary Alberta. Gareth will continue to lead the engineering of 59Hydrogen solutions globally as the market develops across North America.In his previous role, Gareth served as the Africa Head of Strategic Energy and Client Delivery in the commercial division, Energy Security Services Africa (Pty) Ltd.

Under 40 year olds sitting on boards making decisions, only 0.3%. You've got to get real in terms of innovation, how quickly things are adapting and moving. I meet people that sit on boards probably every week, and I can honestly say I would lose sleep if 95% of them sat on our board. It just seems like a very detached perception of reality.Munir Haque: [00:00:39] Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Boardroom 180 Podcast.

Welcome to The Boardroom 180 Podcast, Gareth.Gareth Gregory: [00:02:15] Thank you very much for having me, it's a great pleasure being here.Munir Haque: [00:02:19] Thanks for making the time. We met last year at the Petroleum Club, I think there was an event going on there. I was sitting at a table and there was a lawyer there, and I was giving her my spiel about The Boardroom 180 podcast on governance. When she heard governance she said, you need to talk to this guy over here, pointing at you. Admittedly, I don't know much about hydrogen production or use. Before we get into the nuts and bolts of this, tell me a little more about yourself and your career arc, how you got into what you're doing now.Gareth Gregory: [00:03:00] It's been a great journey over many years, this being our sixth company now. I think, on the entrepreneurship side, we've always been looking out for great opportunities. The educational side of my background has certainly assisted and helped both in the finance and the technical side. But I think what was really important was the journey to get to this point in time now in North America and overseeing both the Canadian markets and the US market. In the early days, we had established a company that focused on energy modeling and planning, which is very much a professional services orientated environment. Over a period we had clients that were asking us to oversee construction, which we did. Then we started doing a lot of our own construction, and it got to a point that we developed ourselves into an EPCM, engineering, procurement, construction and management firm for the sub-Saharan African market. There was a great experience having both the background modeling knowledge, but also the ability to start building out on smaller projects in terms of delivery. Shortly after that, we had one of our clients that had engaged with us on a combined cycle gas and steam turbine design, their internal engineering department couldn't maintain the efficiencies of the system.Gareth Gregory: [00:04:19] They actually sold that facility back to us for 50% of what we had sold it to them at. That was our first off balance sheet transaction. The reason that that is so important is that I think that actually enabled our arrival and expansion now, both in Canada as well as the US, understanding an annuity based financial model. About 14 years ago was our introduction into hydrogen, possibly by some level of fluke. We had a client that required a 4% hydrogen mix in their annealing ovens, which was natural gas driven. That was...

Facing escalating attacks from Baloch and Taliban jihadists, Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir has vowed a harsh response. Founding its responses on discredited colonial-era doctrine, the Pakistan Army thinks it can coerce insurgents into submission. That belief has led to failure though, and will likely do so again.

In this episode, host Munir Haque welcomes Chris Doble, Director of the Venture Mentoring Service of Alberta (VMSA), to the show to talk about the mentorship that VMSA offers to entrepreneurs by assembling teams of experienced business leaders. Based on MIT's Venture Mentoring Service model, the VMSA focuses on personal leadership development rather than business operations, emphasizing mentorship through coaching rather than direct advisory. Chris Doble and Munir explore how the program was adapted for Alberta's business environment and how the approach prioritizes developing entrepreneurs as leaders.Chris highlights VMSA's rigorous mentee selection process that ensures those chosen align with their coaching philosophy. He explains that the primarily entrepreneurial and executive mentors foster open discussions that might not be possible in a formal board setting. The conversation discusses how the program, funded by Alberta Innovates, has largely grown through referrals and has helped mentees achieve business growth, leadership clarity, and in some cases, career redirection. Munir and Chris also emphasize the importance of diversity in mentorship teams and the balance between experience and personality compatibility. About Chris Doble: Chris is the program director of the VMSA, Venture Mentoring Service of Alberta, an entrepreneur mentorship program that focuses on building the leadership capacity of growth stage entrepreneurs. Based on the VMS mentorship model established at MIT, the VMSA supports entrepreneurs by surrounding them with a team of experienced business leaders who provide ongoing coaching and guidance as they scale their ventures. Prior to joining the VMSA, Chris helped out to grow the Threshold Impact Venture Mentoring Service program based out of the University of Alberta and has received mentorship and coaching training through the MIT Venture Mentoring Service Executive Immersion Program, and Roy Group's practice of coaching. Before entering the world of mentorship, Chris worked in a variety of roles within the music industry, including as a studio manager of an audio post-production studio, in artist marketing and PR, and in co-launching a mastering studio in Toronto. He has an Honors Bachelor of Arts from the University of Ottawa in Communications and Business Administration and is proud to be a Calgary born and raised citizen.—Contact Munir Haque | ActionEdge Executive Development: Website: AEEDNow.comLinkedin: Action Edge Executive Development Inc.Contact Chris Doble: Website: VMSAlberta.orgLinkedInPodcast Production:Recording:  PushySix StudiosProduction Assistance: Astronomic Audio—TranscriptChris Doble: [00:00:01] There's an analogy that we really like to use to describe VMs, which is that we don't build the race car, we train the race car driver. With the thinking that, of course we want to see success come to these start ups and come to these businesses, but for us, we really want that to flow through the growth and development of the individual. Longer term thinking being even if these ventures aren't ultimately successful, you've still built the skills and the capacity that someone could take with them to the next venture.Munir Haque: [00:00:29] Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Boardroom 180 Podcast.

In each episode, we meet with governance leaders and step into their boardrooms, where decisions shape the world around us.Munir Haque: [00:00:48] Today we're excited to welcome Mr. Chris Doble. Chris is the program director of the Venture Mentoring Service of Alberta, the VMSA. It's an entrepreneur mentorship program that focuses on building the leadership capacity of growth stage entrepreneurs. Based on the VMS mentorship model established at MIT, the VMSA supports entrepreneurs by surrounding them with a team of experienced business leaders who provide ongoing coaching and guidance as they scale their ventures. Before entering the world of mentorship, Chris worked in a variety of roles within the music industry as a studio manager of an audio post-production studio, to artist marketing and PR, to co-launching a mastering studio in Toronto. He has an Honors Bachelor of Arts from the University of Ottawa in Communications and Business Administration and is proud to be a Calgary born and raised citizen. Welcome to the show, Chris.Chris Doble: [00:02:04] Thanks for having me, Munir.Munir Haque: [00:02:06] I first came across you back in 2023 during Innovation Week here in Calgary. You were presenting at a session on governance. There were two other gentlemen who were presenting with you, one was talking specifically about the board of directors, another was talking about the board of advisors. You were talking about a board of consciousness, and that struck a spark in my head, because I hadn't heard of that too much before. I always kept in the back of my head that I was going to reach out to you and have you on here so we can talk a little bit about that. When I've done some of the research on board of consciousness, I think there's a variety of different roles that they fill, and I think there's maybe some different characteristics and maybe different interpretations of what they are. But I thought I'd get you on here to talk about, how do you interpret what a board of consciousness is?Chris Doble: [00:03:02] I'm glad you came to that session, and I am glad that you reached out. Because it's led to some really good conversations, and I appreciate the opportunity to come chat about this. I always smile when we use that term 'board of consciousness'. The word that we typically use when we describe what it is we do is mentorship, but I think board of consciousness is a prettier way of describing that. But this idea of, you're here to support an individual, where you have a board of directors or a board of advisors that may end up being more focused on helping your business or helping growth or strategy of the business, the organization, board of consciousness or mentors can really be focused on the individual. How do you help them grow and develop and succeed? More in whatever way that needs to look like for them. That's the focus of our mentorship program for entrepreneurs is, how do you take a group of highly experienced business leaders, entrepreneurs, business builders and put them around an up and coming entrepreneur and get focused on how you can make them a more effective leader. I'm sure today we can dive into what that looks like.Munir Haque: [00:04:10] We'll get into a little bit more depth, but why don't we take it back a step. You have some sort of relationship with Platform Calgary. Perhaps for some of our listeners who aren't in Calgary, who aren't familiar with Platform, why don't you give a little bit of background on that and then your relationship with them?

In this episode, host Munir Haque welcomes Matt Fullbrook, creator of the One Minute Governance podcast and the Ground-Up Governance platform, to the show to discuss his 23 years of experience in more than 300 boardrooms, ranging from local non-profits to global corporations. Through extensive research, Matt discovered that there's not much consensus in academic literature about the impact of governance on financial performance or leadership effectiveness. This prompted him to redefine governance for himself, moving beyond traditional frameworks to develop a more evidence-based and practical approach that he discusses with Munir.  Matt currently experiments with clients, conference participants, and students to test and refine governance strategies, ones that prioritize decision-making effectiveness over strict structural rules. He stresses the importance of diversity and inclusion in governance, challenging the traditional approach that prioritizes skill sets before diversity. Matt and Munir talk about how diverse perspectives enhance decision-making and should be an integral part of board composition from the outset. Matt's conversation highlights how he seeks to help boards and executives embrace governance as a tool for success rather than a restriction. He works to reframe governance as an ongoing process of improving decision-making instead of enforcing bureaucratic control.About Matt FullbrookMatt Fullbrook has advised over 250 boardrooms during his 20-year career as a corporate governance researcher, educator and consultant. He is also the host of the One Minute Governance podcast, creator of Ground-Up Governance, and a frequent speaker and media commentator.Highlights of Matt's academic career include serving as the leader of corporate governance research at the University of Toronto's Rotman School, as co-academic director of the joint Rotman-Institute of Corporate Directors Board Dynamics for Executives program, and as Academic Director of the Credit Union Executives Society's High Performing Boards series.In addition to his governance work, Matt is a professional bass player with KC Roberts & The Live Revolution, a touring band who have released seven studio albums.

I'm your host Munir Haque, an executive coach and senior board strategist. I have partnered with Action Edge Executive Development to lead their governance and political acumen division. In each episode we meet with governance leaders and step into their boardrooms, where decisions shape the world around us.Munir Haque: [00:00:58] In today's episode, we have Mr. Matt Fullbrook. Matt is one of the most recognizable and respected voices in North American corporate governance. Bringing 23 years of experience to more than 300 boardrooms, ranging from local non-profits to global corporations. As the creator of the One Minute Governance podcast and the Ground-Up Governance platform, Matt has created a massive library of practical insights to master boardroom challenges. Matt serves as an Executive in Residence at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, where he has shaped the future of governance for the past two decades. He is currently the Academic Director of the Rotman ICD program, Working Effectively with Your Board, a program for senior executives. In addition to his governance work, Matt is a professional bass player with the KC Roberts & the Live Revolution, a touring band that has seven studio albums. Welcome to the show, Matt.Matt Fullbrook: [00:02:02] Thanks for having me, Munir.Munir Haque: [00:02:03] A lot of things that many of our other guests have talked about that are changing standards or the trend, but I think where I'd like to get to with you is pushing that a little bit, and seeing if you can challenge any of that. Interesting enough, whether or not that's something that you're even challenging yourself, having been in the industry for 23 years. Whether now you're challenging stuff that you were forcing down the throat of your clients and your students over the last umpteen years. Are you starting to rethink some of that stuff?Matt Fullbrook: [00:02:37] The short answer is absolutely. The most embarrassing illustration of what you're talking about is, and I say embarrassing but I'm a pretty shame-free person so I don't actually feel embarrassed, but objectively it's kind of embarrassing that I came out of that long stretch studying and talking about and educating people on governance. If you'd asked me three years ago, you've got this job in corporate governance, what is that? I wouldn't have had a really useful answer. I certainly wouldn't have had a really useful answer about what I thought 'good' looked like. I would have given the usual, it's about structures and processes and practices and so on. Forgetting the fact that governance is a thing that people actually do and forgetting the fact of, what is that exactly? What's the difference between doing it really well and not doing it so well? It was that realization that I was really struggling to describe, for lack of a better word, my life's work that made me go, I wonder what I'm missing here. When you start digging a little bit deeper, you realize that corporate governance in the management literature is one of the most studied topics. Of the tens of thousands of academic papers, I'm using academic papers just as an illustration here. There's no consensus on what corporate governance is, whether there's any causal relationship between governance and financial performance, whether CEOs matter or director independence etc. There's all this dogma out there that I had helped to perpetuate that's not rooted in any evidence. I've been on this journey to try to, at least for myself, develop a set of definitions and concepts and stuff to try that's actually rooted in something that I believe in, instead of something that's generically embraced, despite the fact that we can't support it.Munir Haque: [00:04:47] You said that you're trying things, so how do you report back on that and figure out if it's working?Matt Fullbrook: [00:04:54] I'm going to struggle to answer that second piece, because figuring out if it's working is more abstract than it sounds, but I ...

It's not a less developed country in that kind of situation, but we're going to have to get after this a lot more than we do. Part of that is the national regulator thing. You've got an Alberta stock exchange, you've got a BC stock exchange and Nova Scotia Securities Commission, a bunch of rules. Some of them are lax, some of them are not lax. Then all you do is go jurisdiction surfing. It's not going to work for the OSC in Ontario, let's see what Alberta thinks. Let's go to BC. It becomes a problem. I don't know if it's the national regulator idea, but something more comprehensive has to be done than what we've got now.Munir Haque: [00:00:46] Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Boardroom 180 podcast. I'm your host Munir Haque, an executive coach and senior board strategist. I have partnered with Action Edge Executive Development to lead their governance and political acumen division.

Today we'll explore a bit more of his journey, how he got to where he is now, his take on the evolving media landscape as it intersects with the business news, and the crucial role governance plays in the world of business. Welcome to The Boardroom 180, Phil DeMont.Philip DeMont: [00:02:13] Hi Munir, how are you?Munir Haque: [00:02:14] Not too bad, yourself?Philip DeMont: [00:02:16] Good. I'm glad for that introduction. I should get you to introduce me to everything.Munir Haque: [00:02:22] You're joining us today from the East Coast, so where exactly are you?Philip DeMont: [00:02:26] I'm in Halifax. I was, for a long time, in Toronto, but then I sold my house in Toronto. I moved to Halifax where it's cheaper to live, where I grew up. I'm from a little place on Gottingen Street, across from the second largest military base in Canada.Munir Haque: [00:02:41] I lived in Halifax for a little while, and my oldest child was born in Halifax at the Grace Hospital there. Fond memories of Halifax, a beautiful place.Philip DeMont: [00:02:52] Great place.Munir Haque: [00:02:54] I talked a bit about you being a trusted voice to Canadians across the country. I've heard you countless times on the CBC morning show here in Calgary. Presumably that's across Canada as well?Philip DeMont: [00:03:06] Yeah, when I show up on the CBC, I will do morning shows from Halifax to Vancouver. You show up a couple of times a day in Calgary, a couple of times a day in Edmonton, that kind of stuff. Always on business topics not quite ripped from the headlines, but the kind of stuff that would give listeners some insight into a headline that they read. But at the same time not quite down the level of where you think The Wall Street Journal would be, because you're trying to keep it on a level where people can understand it, but get an insight into what's going on.Munir Haque: [00:03:40] I just want to start out a little bit about, we know you as a freelance broadcaster, we hear you on the radio here. Why don't you tell us a little bit about how you got to where you are right now? Like you said, you started out with degrees in economics and political studies.Philip DeMont: [00:03:55] I had gone to school at Dalhousie, and my dad had been a long time stockbroker in the city. I was thinking that might be where I ended up, but I ended up going to Queens to take graduate degrees up there. That led me to, I don't want to say a bigger world, but the idea that I didn't have to follow my dad's footsteps, to be honest. Although my first job, I've had every job that people usually hate. I worked for the Toronto Star, if you know that paper. I worked for the Senate of Canada. My first job was with a Calgary senator, Earl Hastings. He had been appoi...

Doesn't play any instruments and doesn't articulate, but is clearly somebody that the musicians are paying attention to. They know when they're offline or if their points are resonating. It was a book written out of frustration, curiosity, and with a desire to create something that would make a difference for, at least, some people in some meetings. Not necessarily a cure-all.Munir Haque: [00:00:47] Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Boardroom 180 Podcast. I'm your host Munir Haque, an executive coach and senior board strategist. I have partnered with Action Edge Executive Development to lead their governance and political acumen division.

It was a while back now, but I found it to be a very useful resource and it's got some very useful lessons and I use it in my own coaching. Now surprisingly, when I looked you up I didn't realize that you lived in Canada as well. Bit of a surprise, and then I reached out to you and you were very prompt to get back to me, so thanks for that.Bryan Hayward: [00:03:00] My pleasure, glad to be here. From Manitoba, not exactly the hotbed of governance when you think of that.Munir Haque: [00:03:07] First off, maybe we'll go through some of the stuff that you talked about in the book. I don't recall if that's in your foreword or not, but talk a little bit about why you wrote a book specifically on the chair.Bryan Hayward: [00:03:19] Some people come to life and they say, before I bite the dust, I want to run a marathon, or I want to do this, or I want to fly a plane, or I want to write a book. That wasn't what drove it. I've been involved in situations where boards have made a huge difference. In your intro you were talking about situations that are existential, where you've got to make, not necessarily when you're in it, you don't know if you're making the right call, but you have to ha...

It's the summer after graduation, and Munir Hachemi and his friends G, Ernesto, and Álex leave Madrid for an idyllic summer picking grapes in the French countryside—because, as Munir writes in the sixth edict of his “decalogue of decalogues about experience as literary capital”: “What sets a novelist apart is having a unique worldview as well as something to say about it. So try living a little first. Not just in books or in bars, but out there, in real life. Wait until you've been scarred by the world, until it has left its mark.” But the scars end up a little deeper than Munir anticipated. There's no grape harvest—thanks to climate change—and the four friends end up working alongside the “etcetera of Europe” at a series of nightmarish factory farms where they do everything from injecting monstrous chickens with mysterious vaccines to artificially inseminating genetically modified corn. At least, that's the premise of Hachemi's 2018 novel, Living Things, published earlier this year in an English translation by Julia Sanches. But how much of this tale is really fiction? And what's the point of fiction in an inhumane world anyway? Munir Hachemi joins us in the studio to talk about storytelling, machismo, and going vegan.Go beyond the episode: Living Things by Munir HachemiSome of Hachemi's inspirations include Artificial Respiration by Ricardo Piglia, Tomás Downey, María Sonia Cristoff, Pablo Katchadjian, Emiliano Monge, and, of course, Borges Tune in every (other) week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

On the 46th episode of Enterprise Software Innovators, host Evan Reiser (Abnormal Security) talks with Munir Hafez, CIO of TransUnion. TransUnion specializes in credit reporting, fraud detection, and data analytics. With over 19,000 employees and over $3.6 billion in annual revenue, the company impacts more than a billion people worldwide. In this conversation, Munir shares his thoughts on AI transforming business operations at TransUnion, balancing the potential of AI against the current hype cycle, and the future impact of AI in the enterprise.Quick hits from Munir:On the importance of grounding data to train AI: “If you're asking it how to make a chocolate chip cookie, you don't really need to ground that in your data. If you're trying to say, ‘What cross-sell opportunities can I have for this customer?' You have to be able to feed it your product catalog and everything else.”On prompt engineering driving value in the current AI environment: “Over time, [AI] is going to get smarter where you need less and less prompt engineering teaching it. But certainly in the short term, I think training, custom LLM, and then depending on the tool, teams that are designed and focused on extending the prompt engineering and the capabilities will be the best way to get the value.”On identifying real use cases for enterprise AI: “My team supports over 500 applications. Everything has AI, including toothbrushes and trash cans. So which tools are actually far enough along that [the AI component] provides value. We were looking for if the triangulation of the technology is advanced enough. The business case makes sense and the business users are engaged and are willing to learn and help support.”Recent Book Recommendation: Outliers by Malcom Gladwell--Like what you hear?

Je sais, le titre fait peur. C'est fait exprès. On a été biberonné depuis une décennie par la liberté qu'offrait l'entreprenariat au féminin avec des codes de girl boss, avant de s'intéresser, 10 ans plus tard, en profondeur, aux impacts économiques et sociaux que pouvaient avoir ce statut pour les femmes et plus précisément les mères. Dans cet épisode, Estelle By, avocate spécialisée en entrepreneuriat au féminin, vous explique l'importance du statut de votre entreprise et des protections qui en découlent. En mettant un pied dans ce monde génial mais tout aussi difficile de l'entreprenariat, on omet souvent de regarder sur le long terme les répercussions de nos choix. Et on fait parfois l'impasse de s'éduquer sur l'aspect financier de notre secteur. Avoir un enfant bouscule notre vie pro et donne parfois l'envie de prendre notre envol pour se lancer à son compte en sortant du salariat. Mais est-ce une si bonne idée ? Estelle est très claire sur les problématiques qu'engendre la micro entreprise mais aussi les effets d'une pause maternité lorsqu'on prend son congé maternité. Il faut être prête à connaître les risques et surtout apprendre à anticiper et voir cette vie d'entrepreneuse comme un choix de vie de famille pour celles qui sont en couple, et non une décision unilatérale. Faites passer cet épisode à toutes vos copines qui se sont lancé dans ce monde extraordinaire mais tout aussi complexe. LIENS UTILES : Estelle By, avocate en droit des affaires
