In this must-listen episode, host Tyler Chisholm welcomes back Chris Foster for a high-energy, ground-level exploration of innovation in Calgary and beyond.

Chris breaks down the big questions, including:

• How do you separate AI reality from AI hype?
• Why do so many digital initiatives get stuck in “pilot mode”?
• What does it take to drive meaningful change in industries steeped in tradition, risk, and regulation?
• How does curiosity outpace fear—in leadership, governance, and the future of work?
