In this episode, my guest is Kathe Lemon, president and co-owner of RedPoint Media, the company behind Avenue Magazine, The Scene, and a range of print, digital, and event-based platforms focused on connecting people to their city and each other.

We discuss how media is evolving from traditional publishing into a platform for connection, and why the real challenge is not choosing technology, but choosing the right medium for the outcome you want. Kathe shares how her team thinks about communication across print, digital, and in-person experiences, how they build connection intentionally, and why not every problem should be solved with new technology. The conversation also explores growing uncertainty around AI, questions of trust and authorship, and why leadership still comes down to people, not tools.

In this episode my guest is Chris Kerr, founder and president of XA Security, a Calgary based security firm providing entertainment, campus, property, and mobile patrol services. What began more than 20 years ago as a small backstage support team has evolved into a company focused on experience driven security, de escalation, and modern safety solutions.

We discuss how the security industry is being reshaped by surveillance technology, automation, AI, drones, and remote monitoring and why ethical leadership will matter more than ever. Chris shares lessons from building internal systems, avoiding software overload, deciding when to build versus buy, and creating a culture where experimentation is encouraged but accountability remains clear. The conversation explores how technology should support human judgment, not replace it, and why companies that balance innovation with responsibility will be the ones that last.
