Inspiring stories from outstanding Canadian businesspeople, since 2009.

More politics than Mike and Dan are accustomed to on the podcast this week with the results of the American election and speculation about what sorts of impacts are in store for Canadian businesses, including possibly rising inflation and new tariffs on exports. A second generation Montréal restaurateur is our featured guest and she explains why her family's Peel St. café made international headlines during last summer's compliance horror story known as Terrasse-gate.
