Episode 10 of Canada's Number One Business-Comedy Podcast is back with Dallas Price of Forum Ventures.

Dallas and Pip and Shubh team up to pitch Corporate Espionage As A Service...the guys find a way to bring this idea out of the moral grey zone to a place they can feel good about, Benevolent CeAAS.

Also, in his first full recording since being named non-guest co-host, Philippe has to duck out early so Shubh takes advantage of Dallas' expertise operating a venture studio to get his opinions on previous ideas being pitched.

Pip also continues his one man crusage to rebrand Winnipeg as Las Pegas.

---------------------------------------------------------
