CTP Ep. 146 - Billal Qureshi
Today on CTP we have Billal Qureshi, the Head of Mobile + Apps at Google Canada. We had a great conversation about how the pandemic has affected Canadian businesses, what tools small businesses can use to get in touch with customers and increase business, and what small business owners should keep an eye out for next. Billal's answer on that last one surprised me, it might surprise you too.

Keeping fingers and toes crossed that it turns into a permanent position.Derek – Had a nice holiday season. Enjoying the Google Home mini and Chromecast I got for Christmas! Was just at Kathleen’s company country-themed new year party on Friday, I came in second place in the Bloom token community rewards program to take home USD $3,000 of BLT, and thinking of becoming a crypto-focused YouTuber/podcaster.Don’t forget to review us on iTunes, Google Play, TuneIn, Spreaker, Stitcher, Player FM, iHeart.com, or wherever else you get your podcasts.
