    Ep30: The Secret Episode

    Episode 30 of Canada's favourite Business-Comedy podcast Your Business Is On the Line is here, and it's a "secret". We go back in time to an episode recorded with little preparation, where Shubh and Philippe banter about audio improvements, a hockey-stick tape prototype, chart-watching as the show hits Canada’s top 100 entrepreneurship podcasts. We've got overly long intros, plus Chaz shares a life update about moving to a small Stratford apartment and missing a roommate’s cat. Chaos ensues as Lewis Horwood (PureLend) and Michael Rossi (NEO) are pulled into the room mid-recording; Lewis pitches “runmylife.ai,” an app that uses big-data-style insights to tell him what to do and reduce decision-making. The hosts help to define the product, discuss data access, and Mike riffs on dynamic insurance pricing based on real-time behaviour. Brought to you as always in part by the New Network. And we are VERY VERY proud to introduce a new sponsor, Center9, our preferred partner for all your Microsoft 365 needs. 00:00 Secret Episode Setup01:50 Audio Wins and Prototypes05:08 Podcast Pressure and Fans09:10 Big Guests and Short Intros11:09 Chaz Apartment and Cat15:10 Guests Incoming Today16:33 Sponsor Break20:15 Lewis Joins the Studio22:02 Meet Lewis and PureLend25:42 Watford Football Woes27:16 Phil Leaves Mid-Pod28:52 Mike Rossi Crashes In32:35 Run My Life AI Pitch37:10 Decision Fatigue Debate40:28 Insurance Monetization Twist43:57 Salsa Scores and Feedback48:12 Wrap Up and Teasers

Philippe and Shubh brainstorm a business idea around simulated, high-stakes crisis scenarios as a hiring stress test ), then Seb pitches “RestJet,” a premium end-to-end travel service where customers are anesthetized, boxed, transported, and wake up in their destination bed.

    Ep28: CoutureLend w/ Lucas Scheer

    Our first ever guest on YBIOTL was Sebastian Hiscock, founder of SalsaScore. Incredibly, SalsaScore is the second most impressive thing Seb has founded. This week, we welcome Sebastian's Co-Founder at Purelend Technologies, Lucas Scheer. After a highly successful career as one of Calgary's top executive scale-up operators, Lucas, along with Seb and Wayne, started what this podcast thinks is one of Canada's most interesting AI native startups. Bootstrapped, profitable and growing exponentially. Which means Lucas is a serious entrepreneur. And he arrives to Episode 28 of Canada's Number One Business-Comedy Podcast with several unserious ideas. His idea, CoutureLend, receives the coveted perfect 75 score from both Pip and Shubh. It's brilliant. Listen, laugh and love...like no one is watching...or something. Presented in part by the New Network and Tech Thursday.
