Hotel Pacifico was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as FortisBC, and the National Police Federation.Mike and Geoff frantically attempt to dissect news from the campaign trail, the LNG Canada final investment decision, and the fast forming candidate slates. On the local scene, they discuss the state of the race in Vancouver then head to the northwest to look at issues in Prince Rupert, Terrace, and Kitimat.

FOBI AI has introduced the four products behind its Flywheel. Now CEO Rob Anson is focused on the question that follows every product launch: how do you get it into the hands of customers? Speaking from Washington, D.C., Anson said he had spent several days in meetings exploring opportunities. FORTRESS, FOBI's sovereign enterprise AI infrastructure, was the product he emphasized as he discussed security and budgets for the coming year. He did not identify who he met or announce a contract.Asked how FOBI intends to reach enterprise and government customers, Anson answered in three words: “Channel, channel, channel.”WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW• FOBI is going long and narrow. The company plans to focus management attention, development and commercial resources on FORTRESS, AltID 3.0, FIXYR and AgenticBrain. Together, they form the FOBI Flywheel.• Washington is part of the outreach. Anson described in person meetings and said FORTRESS was central to the opportunities he was exploring. He also discussed the importance of securing a place in budgets being set for next year.• Partners are the route to customers. Anson wants channel partners with enterprise and government relationships in key regions. FOBI has worked with TELUS on earlier initiatives, though he did not identify a new Flywheel distribution agreement in the interview.• Investors will soon see more of the technology. FOBI has scheduled a live, interactive Flywheel demonstration for October 7 to show how its four products are designed to work together.WHY IT MATTERSEach product addresses a different need. FORTRESS is designed to give organizations control over their AI environment and information. AltID 3.0 addresses identity and digital trust. FIXYR connects requests to systems and workflows. AgenticBrain gives people a conversational way to access services. FOBI says customers could start with one product and add others as their needs expand.One piece already has a reported live result. FOBI said FIXYR processed more than 20,000 digital tickets and over 200 customer inquiries in an initial deployment, with 100% uptime and zero human intervention. That is a FIXYR result. The October 7 demonstration will give investors a closer look at how the broader Flywheel is intended to operate as a connected system.FOBI is directing more resources toward that opportunity while its established businesses continue serving customers and generating revenue. The company intends to pursue a sale of Passwallet once its next generation wallet platform is complete and an appropriate customer transition can be arranged. It is reviewing options for Passworks and exploring a sale or joint venture for Qples. No such transaction has been completed.INVESTOR TAKEAWAYThe four Flywheel products have been introduced. The public demonstration is scheduled. Anson is now making the case for channels as the way to reach larger customers.The key commercial question now is whether FOBI can turn its channel strategy into new customer agreements and working deployments for the broader Flywheel.Fobi shareholders and other participants are asked to register for the live demo using this link:https://luma.com/qr1zmoft

Hotel Pacifico was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as FortisBC.Mike and Geoff welcome former BC Attorney-General and Finance Minister Mike de Jong for another visit to Hotel Pacifico.  De Jong tackles this week's Quarterly Report that shows rising red ink and explains why he signed a letter, along with 10 other BC Attorneys-General in support of the Treaty process.  The talk inevitably leads to the Conservatives and where things are heading in BC politics, including in his home riding of Abbotsford-Mission.  Tempted to run in the by-election, the pinot noir would not oblige.

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! Back in July, the Wall Street Journal ran a striking series on how Europe is quietly rethinking its arrangements with the world to counter a changing, increasingly predatory United States. And surprisingly, named Mark Carney as one of the leaders pushing Europe in that direction, pointing back to his Davos speech and his idea of "variable geometry" alliances replacing the old hub-and-spoke reliance on Washington. We want to explore these themes: what does it means for institutions like NATO and the G7 to become secondary to newer, looser alignments? How does the Western world meet the challenge of China going forward? And what does all of this mean for Canada's economy and its place in the world?To dig into it, we bring in two brilliant people today: Jennifer Welsh and Colin Robertson.Jennifer Welsh is a four-time guest of the pod, Rhodes Scholar, co-founder of the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict. Currently, the Director of the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University.And making his first appearance, Colin Robertson. He served as a Canadian diplomat for over 30 years. He helped negotiate the original Canada/U.S. Free Trade Agreement and NAFTA. Currently, he's a Fellow at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute and host of its Global Exchange podcast.They dig into why countries from Europe to Australia to South Korea are hedging their bets on America, what "variable geometry" actually looks like in practice, whether the G7 and G20 are still fit for the world we live in, and some genuinely concrete questions too. Like whether Canada should still buy the F-35, and why Mexico deserves to be treated as a real ally rather than a partner of convenience. A fascinating, wide-ranging conversation about what's replacing the old international order, and Canada's surprising role at the centre of it.

Here's an uncomfortable question: if you replaced "Gen X" with a racial or ethnic label in a hiring conversation, would anyone tolerate it?    Dan Pontefract — leadership and corporate culture strategist, six-time author, and former Chief Learning Officer at SAP and TELUS — thinks the answer says a lot about how casually organizations discriminate by age. In this conversation, Dan traces the arc that led to his sixth book, The Future of Work Is Grey — from a "reverse ageism" encounter as a 26-year-old college administrator to a career-defining moment when, at 51, a longtime speaker bureau dropped him because they were "refreshing the roster." That sting, he admits, forced a reckoning: for two decades as a chief learning officer, he'd poured development dollars into younger employees without ever questioning who got left out. The centerpiece of the episode is Dan's "Rivers, Rocks, and Rubies" framework — a model for career stages that replaces rigid generational labels (Gen Z, Millennial, Boomer) with a fluid, non-linear way of understanding where people are in their working lives, regardless of age. He also cites new polling data on how dramatically less likely companies are to hire older candidates for AI-related roles, despite AI itself being only a few years old. Beyond the book, Dan and Peter dig into the business realities of running a solo thought leadership practice: why Dan resists being boxed into one topic, how he splits revenue across keynotes, workshops, and consulting, and why speaker bureaus often struggle to sell someone who doesn't fit a single, easily marketed lane. This one's for anyone who manages people across generations, anyone building an independent expert career, or anyone who's ever wondered whether the workplace quietly wrote them off too soon.   Three Key Takeaways: • Age bias hides in plain sight in training budgets. Organizations routinely front-load learning and development spend on younger employees while quietly deprioritizing workers past 45 — a pattern Dan admits he ran for years as a CLO without questioning it. • The Rivers, Rocks, and Rubies framework replaces generational labels with career stage. Instead of sorting people by birth year, Dan argues everyone moves through fluid (river), stable (rock), and wisdom (ruby) phases at their own pace — and no phase is superior to another. • A multi-topic thought leadership brand is harder to sell but more sustainable. Dan's refusal to niche down to one keynote topic makes him a tougher pitch for speaker bureaus, but it's let him build a business across consulting, workshops, and keynotes rather than one repeatable speech.   Dan's episode is a case study in exactly what Peter, Bill Sherman, and Naren Aryal explore in The Thought Leadership Handbook: a powerful idea — in this case, that age is an asset organizations are squandering, not a liability to manage around — only creates impact once it's shaped, packaged, and built into a sustainable business. Dan's Rivers, Rocks, and Rubies framework, his refusal to niche down to one keynote topic, and his deliberate choice to run a solo practice rather than scale a firm are all decisions the Handbook helps thought leaders navigate in their own work. If this conversation had you thinking about how to package your own expertise for a crowded market, The Thought Leadership Handbook is the field guide.   Order it today at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, or Amplify, or learn more at thoughtleadershiphandbook.com.

Hotel Pacifico was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as FortisBC.Fresh off their recent Emergency Pod, Geoff and Mike review the latest on which MLAs have exited the KLF train.  As of the time of the recording (August 31st), seven MLAs have left the BC Conservative caucus in the past few weeks, with more expected to leave in September. Geoff and Mike review the backroom meetings taking place at White Spot and other undisclosed locations, and discuss the Abbotsford-Mission byelection which was called by Premier Eby over the weekend.  The hosts take time to reflect on the life of MLA Joan Phillip who passed away in recent days and Geoff describes how she left her mark on BC politics during the DRIPA debate. 

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! This one's for anyone tired of the heat-with-no-light that passes for policy debate on Twitter. David brings together three super smart policy minds who understand government — spanning different ideologies and varying degrees of partisanship. It's a rare, respectful, rational, 90-minute conversation about the predicament Canada finds itself in and what policy steps the country should take next in this trade war with the US.Tyler Meredith, Jennifer Robson, and Ginny Roth dig into whether Canada should still be racing back to the table with the Americans, or whether this is finally the moment to build real independence from that relationship. They debate what's actually achievable through internal free trade. Tyler makes the case the economic models behind it are, in his words, "bullshit" and why Canadian businesses have been sitting on their capital for the better part of a decade.They'll also discuss what it means that the federal government has quietly become one of the country's biggest investors: building and owning pipelines, de-risking major projects, and increasingly deciding which sectors to grow. They dig into the politically thorny stuff too: interprovincial trade barriers nobody wants to touch, the tanker ban, First Nations consultation, and why "brain drain" needs to come back into the conversation. And they close on the immediate question of who's actually hurting right now: auto workers, steel workers, forestry towns … and whether EI, retraining, and liquidity supports are anywhere close to adequate for what's coming next. This is a substantive episode that spans real disagreement and real depth. Pour yourself a coffee and settle in with the panel:Tyler is the former Head of Fiscal and Economic Policy for Prime Minister Trudeau and Ministers of Finance, Chrystia Freeland and Bill Morneau. Today, he's a Founding Partner at Meredith/Boessenkool & Phillips Policy Advisors.Jennifer has served in senior roles in policy development and research with the Federal Government. She's now Program Director and Associate Professor of Political Management at Carleton University.And Ginny has spent a life in politics, most recently as Directory of Comms for Pierre Poilievre's Conservative leadership campaign. She's a sought after commentator across various media and a Partner at Crestview Strategy advising clients on public policy. Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down 10 common mistakes that investors make and how they can hurt long-term returns. We discuss the danger of overconcentration, why chasing the hottest trade can derail a sound strategy, and how investors can get lured in by massive revenue growth while ignoring risks hiding on the balance sheet. We also cover emotional mistakes like fear of missing out, fear of losses, overconfidence, confirmation bias, anchoring to your cost basis, and the sunk cost fallacy. Along the way, we share examples from our own investing experience, including lessons learned from crypto, growth stocks, Telus, Shopify, Allied Properties REIT, and other situations where process mattered more than short-term results. Whether you invest in individual stocks, ETFs, dividend stocks, or a mix of everything, this episode is a reminder that avoiding big mistakes can be just as important as finding big winners.

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! David spent the weekend, like a lot of Canadians, trying to process the breakdown in Canada-US trade talks and the unusually sharp statement Mark Carney delivered to the country the day before. So he called in The Chiefs: three former chiefs of staff to some of Canada's most prominent political leaders.It gets pointed fast. Did the Americans overplay a genuinely greedy hand? Did Carney make the right call walking away? Was the government's credibility already damaged by how it handled the Gordie Howe Bridge file and did is show weakness the Americans noticed?There's a real disagreement over Danielle Smith's freelancing in Washington, whether the federal government has been too closed and secretive through the negotiations, and whether the actual documents from the talks should be released publicly.They also look ahead: what a genuine pivot away from US dependence would require, the risk to public finances if bond markets get skittish, how fast major projects could realistically move, and lastly, what all of this means for Pierre Poilievre now facing renewed questions about his leadership. A tough, sharp, no-holds-barred conversation between three pros of very different stripes who've all sat at the highest levels of government. Not to be missed. Enjoy the hour with:Ian Brodie – first Chief of Staff to Stephen Harper. Now, Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary, and Senior Advisor at New West Public Affairs.Tim Murphy – former Chief of Staff to Paul Martin. Now, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategic Affairs Officer at AECON.Brian Topp – former Chief of Staff to Rachel Notley in Alberta and Deputy Chief to Roy Romanow in Saskatchewan.

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! Back on the show for a third time... Trevor Tombe: a truth-telling economist who's never afraid to take a view that's five or six canoe lengths out of the mainstream. Trevor's a professor of economics at the University of Calgary and director of Fiscal and Economic Policy at its School of Public Policy, and he's spent the summer on a major study into the fiscal and economic implications of Alberta separation.This episode covers a lot of ground. Trevor lays out the case against retaliating on Trump's tariffs. Arguing Canada simply doesn't have the economic size to change American behaviour the way China can, and that retaliation risks looking like Canada abandoning its own commitment to free trade. He also walks through his research showing Canada's economy hasn't just slowed, it's been permanently knocked onto a lower growth trajectory — a $60-billion-a-year hit. There's a sharp defence of resource extraction as Canada's genuine economic strength rather than something to be embarrassed about, a candid take on when and why government should take on more risk in major projects, and a clear-eyed warning about the US fiscal situation and what it means for Canadian borrowing costs. And we close with the numbers on why an independent Alberta would be worse off, not better. Trade friction, capital flight, and lost access to the rest of the country's labour force chief among them. A dense, wide-ranging hour with one of Canada's sharpest economic minds.

What if every webinar registrant received a personalized call at the exact right moment without adding another salesperson to your team? In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Sam Chang, Founder and CEO of VTM Group, who shares how his journey from door-to-door sales and virtual staffing led him to build AutoCaller AI, a voice AI platform that automates sales conversations. He explains how an AI webinar concierge can contact registrants before, during, and after an event to improve attendance, engagement, follow-up, and overall conversion rates. Sam also discusses drop-off recovery, personalized conversations, AI-powered sales agents, and his vision for helping more businesses build scalable webinar funnels. Key Takeaways:→ AutoCaller AI automates sales calls while maintaining a realistic tone, personalization, and conversational engagement. → Webinar operators often lose potential revenue because they lack the staff to contact every registrant personally. → Calling registrants shortly before an event can improve attendance and reduce missed opportunities.→ AI can contact no-shows five, ten, or fifteen minutes after a webinar starts, encouraging them to join. → Post-webinar calls can deliver replays, promote upcoming events, book appointments, or present special offers. Sam Chang is the founder and CEO of VTM Group, which includes VTMEMBER, a virtual staffing company, and AutoCaller AI, an AI-powered appointment-booking platform. He scaled VTMEMBER from zero to 250 employees in three years, serving clients across North America. Through AutoCaller AI, Sam helps businesses automate speed-to-lead calling, follow-up, appointment booking, and pipeline reactivation without adding headcount. The platform integrates with GoHighLevel and combines AI voice agents, paid advertising, automated nurture, and trained closers to improve show rates, close rates, and revenue growth. Before founding VTM Group, Sam helped expand TELUS's door-to-door sales operation from 25 to 350 representatives and contributed to more than $750 million in revenue. He later developed a nationally adopted sales curriculum and brought advanced sales psychology into AI voice technology.

Geoff raises the question about which BC political books are yet to be written (Mike?).  In the Strategy Suite, Geoff and Mike are swamped by summertime political topics: the ongoing fire season, the final numbers on Budget 2025-26, BC Hydro's got gas, voluntarily involuntary, who's who in the Conservative zoo, and KLF and Dallas Brodie go for dinner.  .

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! David's old friend Frank Graves, founder and president of EKOS Research and known online as the unmistakable "Voice of Franky" on Twitter, is never shy about speaking his mind. But unlike most loud voices online, Frank brings the data to back it up. He was the first pollster to flag a Liberal resurgence back in early 2025, when everyone else had written the party off. We all know how that turned out. Now EKOS has fresh numbers showing the Liberals at 45%, the Conservatives down 14 points since the election to 27%, and the NDP climbing to 17%.David and Frank dig underneath those topline numbers, and it's a wide-ranging one conversation. Frank explains why what's left of the Conservative coalition is increasingly defined by disinformation and alienation rather than ordinary political disagreement, and how he actually measures that. He walks through the sharp generational divide in the numbers, with under-35 Canadians deeply pessimistic about their futures and drifting toward the NDP's brand of progressive populism, while support for the Liberals climbs steadily with age. Together they take a detour into Quebec, where Frank's data suggests the Trump threat has actually strengthened attachment to Canada rather than fuelled separatism, a dynamic he contrasts with the more worrying numbers coming out of the Alberta referendum debate. And in the back half, Frank goes deep on something he's increasingly alarmed about: how AI-generated "slopaganda" and fraudulent respondents are quietly corrupting online polling panels themselves, and why he thinks the industry badly needs regulation before trust in the numbers fully evaporate. A fascinating, wide-ranging hour with one of the sharpest minds in Canadian polling.

From there, we discuss Telus cutting its dividend by 55%, why the new CEO appears to be resetting expectations, and what the guidance cut says about the pressure facing Canadian telecoms. We also cover SpaceX’s first public earnings report, Amazon’s strong quarter and rising AI capex, Imperial Oil’s cash flow surge, Canada Goose’s continued struggles, and 5N Plus after its latest earnings release.

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.

Hotel Pacifico was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as FortisBC.Mike & Geoff welcome the inimitable Terry Glavin for a BC Day interview.  Terry is a National Post writer,  author of  ‘The Real Story' substack, and an award-winning author with a lifetime of accomplishment. His early books - A Death Feast in Dimlahamid and Nemiah: the Unconquered Country - addressed Indigenous land rights issues.  He has written about the North Pacific Ocean, the Pacific fisheries, the accounts of residential school survivors, the Afghanistan war, and, broadly, international issues. He brought his rich knowledge of BC history together with pointed opinions to tackle current and historical issues, including the legacy of Governor James Douglas and whether he deserves attention as a 'Father of Confederation'.

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! There's drama afoot within the conservative movement in Canada. Fights about what the party stands for and where it's going. It's all over Twitter and it's openly spilling into the pod-verse, national media airwaves, opinions in print, and into the hallways of Parliament. If you're a friend of Air Quotes Media, you know it has been talked about over at Curse of Politics. Today we talk with one of the most thoughtful voices on the topic: Ben Woodfinden. Ben is an academic, a thinker about Conservative politics, worked for Pierre Poilievre in the run-up to and during the 2025 election, and has been active in this debate for the last couple of weeks. He doesn't think Poilievre has to leave for the Conservatives to be successful, but he does think they need to broaden their message. He shares his view that the Party needs to adopt a more patriotic position about Canada and demonstrate more love for Canada, including fiercer opposition to what Trump represents. At the same time, he thinks the Conservative Party of Canada's appeal to young people and its disruptive, anti-establishment energy is genuinely onto something and shouldn't be thrown away in the process. A smart, candid conversation about where conservatism in Canada goes from here.

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! Last week The Wall Street Journal published a backstory on what Mark Carney's been doing in Europe. Building alliances, stiffening spines against Trump, searching for sovereignty out of rupture, calls from one of his personal cell phones. It didn't contain exclusively new information, but it was fascinating detail in an American publication that prompted another question: How do journalists cover Mark Carney's government and what's actually different about this prime minister? Prime Minister Carney is an internationalist with a following in Europe and the US. He's a known quantity to economic journalists everywhere. His government gives the impression of frenetic pace. He's managing the most difficult American administration in living memory. That's not a normal beat. To help figure out what it's actually like to cover Mark Carney day to day, we've got three of the best journalists in the business: Paul Wells, publisher of his own brilliant and widely read newsletter, https://paulwells.substack.com; Janyce McGregor, senior reporter at CBC News Network and a member of the Parliamentary Press Gallery; and Mackenzie Gray, national reporter with global news covering Parliament Hill. It was a genuinely revealing conversation. Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

A campus sticker dispute, a GST mistake that snowballs for years, and a pre-COVID work-from-home fight all end up in the BC Court of Appeal, and the common thread is proof. We walk through a defamation claim tied to “I Heart Hamas” stickers attributed to a UBC social justice group and explain the first hurdle many people miss: whether the plaintiff is even a legal entity that can sue. When the “group” is an unincorporated association, the case shifts to an individual trying to show the publication points to him personally, and we break down how courts analyze identification in Canadian defamation law. Next, we dig into a small business GST problem caused by bad bookkeeping advice. We clarify the GST small supplier threshold, why you can still owe uncollected GST, and when voluntary registration can help through input tax credits. The case also highlights practical warning signs: invoices that exaggerate qualifications, vague LinkedIn claims, and the “pay me cash with no invoice” request that should make any business owner stop and reassess. Finally, we look at a human rights and employment accommodation claim involving a TELUS worker who wanted to work from home based on vague symptoms and a thin doctor's note. The court's message is blunt and useful: an employer's duty to accommodate is judged on the medical information available at the time, not on a diagnosis that appears later.

Hotel Pacifico was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as FortisBC.Mike is home alone at the Hotel this week and has hired temps to come in to keep the discussing going.  He's joined by Sitka Media's Jarryd Jäger, formerly of the Western Standard.  Jäger discusses the vision for the fledgling news service and where it fits between the echo chambers.  The Maple Ridge product also discusses his advocacy for free speech and how generational frustration is expressed through commentary.  In the Strategy Suite, Mike is joined by Leah Holoiday, a veteran of the Notley government and BC Public Service, and Carling Dick, an experienced campaigner with the BC Liberals and BC Conservatives. The trio review the recent Canada-BC Prosperity Agreement (is it aging like a fine wine or a quart of milk?), the NDP's voluntarily increasing involuntary care, a Carney insider makes his move on the North Shore, and does BC need its own Stampede to curry political favour?

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 on the show, somebody who bears the proud designation of most appearances on the pod. We call her the economist explainer-in-chief, but more officially, she's the senior vice president and chief economist at the Royal Bank of Canada: Frances Donald!This one's got range. Frances walks us through the contradiction of retirees sitting on record wealth while showing up in the bottom income bracket, why productivity has become Canada's most tired yet most important word, and what actually happens if CUSMA falls apart. Spoiler, it's a story that's a regional nightmare, and how data talk of Canada as a whole misses the story of those various regional economies and various demographic economies, where Canadians are experiencing things very, very differently from each other. And buckle up for a genuinely wild story about a trucking exec who's already quietly quit Canada and moved his whole operation to Texas. Finally, Frances leaves us with an economic metaphor: Canada is an out of shape guy who needs to lose 100 pounds. Settle in for an hour with Frances Donald. Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

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! Artificial intelligence (AI) is here, and it is integrating itself in society in rapid ways.Some boast AI has the power to transform our economy and produce growth rates we once knew in Canada. Others hype soon-to-come breakthroughs in science and medicine as a result of AI. These are exciting advancements … should potential meet reality.People on the other hand – workers, students, voters – feel AI might put them out of a job. AI's impact on how we organize ourselves as a society, and how we maintain cohesion in a world of massive power-hungry data centres and even more massive wealth concentration, is nothing short of enormous if not frightening … just consult with James Cameron and remember what Skynet was all about.So to talk about it all we're joined by the minister tasked with managing “AI for All” – Canada's new national artificial intelligence strategy. Join us for a discussion with Evan Solomon, Canada's first Minister of AI. Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

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! It's been a little over a year since the last federal election in Canada and this past week the House of Commons rose for the summer. It's hard to argue it's been anything but a good year for Carney Liberals. But that was last year. So, what does the Carney government need to do differently in year two? On Alberta separatism, what's the message and who should be the messenger? On CUSMA, what are the implications to a non-renewal? And how should the government think about the Fall Budget over the summer? To answer those questions we're joined by The Chiefs! Three former Chiefs of Staff to some of Canada's most accomplished heads of government:Ian Brodie – first Chief of Staff to Stephen Harper. Now, Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary, and Senior Advisor at New West Public Affairs.Tim Murphy – former Chief of Staff to Paul Martin. Now, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategic Affairs Officer at AECON.Brian Topp – former Chief of Staff to Rachel Notley in Alberta and Deputy Chief to Roy Romanow in Saskatchewan.

Learn more here. — Dan Pontefract spent two decades building leadership, culture, and engagement inside high-tech and telecom organizations, and never once thought seriously about age. Then, in his early fifties, he had a wake-up call. It sent him to look under a rock he'd never lifted, where he found “an absolute cavern of issues.” The result is his sixth book, The Future is Grey: The Untapped Value of Age in the Workforce. Dan lays out the coming “bell to bulb” demographic inversion and the risks for organizations ignoring it. For individuals, he reframes the whole arc of a working life, from the language of generations (which he rejects as an ageist cognitive bias) to three universal career eras: Rivers, Rocks, and Rubies. That demographic inversion means experience will become more scarce and valuable. The through-line is don’t retire,  rewire instead. He shares stories of people who kept working or returned to work in a different way, which brings his concept of the “experience dividend” to life. ________________________ Bio Dan Pontefract is a renowned leadership and culture strategist, author, and keynote speaker with over two decades of experience in senior executive roles at companies such as SAP, TELUS, and Business Objects. Since then, he has worked with organizations globally, including Salesforce, Amgen, State of Tennessee, Nestlé, Canada Post, Autodesk, BMO, Government of Canada, Manulife, Nutrien, UBC, McGill University, Virgin Media O2, City of Toronto, among others. Dan has firsthand experience in turning leaders and corporate cultures into a competitive advantage. In addition to The Future of Work Is Grey, Dan has written five other books: WORK-LIFE BLOOM, LEAD. CARE. WIN., OPEN TO THINK, THE PURPOSE EFFECT, and FLAT ARMY garnering multiple awards including the Thinkers50 Top New Management Book and the Axiom Business Book Awards Gold Medal. Dan has also written for Forbes, Harvard Business Review, Leader to Leader, The Globe and Mail, Inc., among other outlets. Dan is a renowned keynote speaker who has presented at four TED events and delivered over 600 keynotes. He is an adjunct professor at the University of Victoria and has received over 25 personal awards. Dan’s career is interwoven with corporate and academic experience, coupled with an MBA, B.Ed, and multiple distinctions. Notably, Dan is listed on the Thinkers50 Radar, HR Weekly’s 100 Most Influential People in HR, PeopleHum’s Top 200 Thought Leaders to Follow, and Inc.
