Ryan Lazanis joins us from his home in Montreal to discuss how he ended up selling his 100% cloud-based firm 'Xen Accounting' within five years of starting it from scratch. He now acts as an advisor to other firm owners that are looking to modernize through his new venture Future Firm.
Advisory is another hot topic discussed in today's episode - can you have advisory without compliance? There is mounting pressure in the industry for compliance firms to move into the advisory space even though statistically speaking these firms are currently experiencing the most growth - Will and Ryan pick this apart and debate where they see the future of the industry going.

Our host Will Buckley talks to Jay Souilliere, one half of Windsor's favourite burger joint: Motor Burger. They discuss the great expansion across the Detroit river - a move that was 20 years in the making, how a Wholefoods built in mid-town Detroit in 2013 was the first supermarket the city had seen in 40 years, why Jay and his business partner opened a burger joint in Little Italy AND how Motorburger crafted what was voted Canada's tastiest burger and how they subsequently had to deal with customers lining up out the door and around the block to get in on the action.
