In Episode 31 of Canada's Number 1 Business-Comedy Podcast, Shubh, Philippe, and returning producer Chaz record in person during Calgary Stampede, riffing on Chaz’s first Stampede visit, late-night food spots, and Philippe’s painful cowboy boots and nonstop events. Philippe recaps Tech Thursday/House 831 Stampede programming, including a Tourism Calgary white-hatting ceremony, multiple dinners, and a nonprofit fundraiser that raised about $15,000 for the Trellis Society, plus connecting Kelly Schmitt with Our Lady Peace’s Raine Maida for VIP access. Shubh shares a Kelowna trip and pitches “BillBoat” floating lake billboards, then a “Dad.AI/Coach Shubh” advice app idea, before they discuss podcasts, pets, and travel.

Episode 30 of Canada's favourite Business-Comedy podcast Your Business Is On the Line is here, and it's a "secret". We go back in time to an episode recorded with little preparation, where Shubh and Philippe banter about audio improvements, a hockey-stick tape prototype, chart-watching as the show hits Canada’s top 100 entrepreneurship podcasts. We've got overly long intros, plus Chaz shares a life update about moving to a small Stratford apartment and missing a roommate’s cat.

Chaos ensues as Lewis Horwood (PureLend) and Michael Rossi (NEO) are pulled into the room mid-recording; Lewis pitches “runmylife.ai,” an app that uses big-data-style insights to tell him what to do and reduce decision-making. The hosts help to define the product, discuss data access, and Mike riffs on dynamic insurance pricing based on real-time behaviour.

Episode 29 of Your Business Is On the Line features returning guest Sebastian Hiscock (PureLend Co-Founder, creator of SalsaScore) as the hosts riff on SalsaScore, cowboy/Stampede energy, and bringing back “hit” guests and discuss PureLend’s rapid growth and hiring, including what it’s like working the top-of-funnel and the hard-to-test traits of resilience and doing the right thing under pressure.

Philippe and Shubh brainstorm a business idea around simulated, high-stakes crisis scenarios as a hiring stress test ), then Seb pitches “RestJet,” a premium end-to-end travel service where customers are anesthetized, boxed, transported, and wake up in their destination bed.

The guys also detour into inference data centers (GPUs, model hosting/partnerships), space data centers, and pop-culture references. Go watch this movie: The Game (1997).

Our first ever guest on YBIOTL was Sebastian Hiscock, founder of SalsaScore. Incredibly, SalsaScore is the second most impressive thing Seb has founded. This week, we welcome Sebastian's Co-Founder at Purelend Technologies, Lucas Scheer. After a highly successful career as one of Calgary's top executive scale-up operators, Lucas, along with Seb and Wayne, started what this podcast thinks is one of Canada's most interesting AI native startups. Bootstrapped, profitable and growing exponentially.

Which means Lucas is a serious entrepreneur. And he arrives to Episode 28 of Canada's Number One Business-Comedy Podcast with several unserious ideas.

His idea, CoutureLend, receives the coveted perfect 75 score from both Pip and Shubh. It's brilliant. Listen, laugh and love...like no one is watching...or something.

Presented in part by the New Network and Tech Thursday.

Episode 27 of Canada's Number One Business-Comedy Podcast is back with Randy Warnaar, Founder and CEO of Fabstation. When he's not using augmented reality and AI to revolutionize steel fabrication and inspection, AND when he's not SURVIVING a plane crash, Randy is coming on Your Business Is On The Line to pitch two ideas.
One will change Shubh's life, the other will change everyone's lives.

Don't believe us about Randy walking away from a plane crash? He has receipts -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6VVXd5U4sg

Mark Le Dain makes his debut on Canada's Number 1 Business Comedy Podcast and it's generational. Imagine Victor Wembamyama's debut season, but in podcast form. Mark pitches so many ideas, and they are all incredible. He's even offered to fund two of the ideas himself if there's an aspiring entrepreneur or two out there.

Also, should we start another Podcast specifically for future Dog listeners? Would you listen to a podcast hosted by two dolphins?

Check out the episode, and check out Fuelled, one of Canada's coolest and fastest growing tech companies.
