    Curt Harnett, Former Olympian, Chef de Mission 2016 Rio Olympics, 2015 Pan Am Games, Toronto

    It is our role at The CLiP to find a diverse selection of guests that lead or influence in various sectors of our communities. Curt Harnett, our guest in today's episode, offers both.  You might know him as a former Olympian, known for his cycling sprinting, or from his quintessentially 80’s hair shampoo commercial. You might have also heard his name or witnessed his leadership role as the Chef de Mission for the Canadian teams at the Rio Olympics and the Pan AM games in Toronto.  In our discussion, we talk a good deal about rebranding. One day you are an athlete, the next day you are not. How do you pick up your tool box of skills and move to the next thing, what ever that might be? This discussion is relevant way beyond athletics - all of us find ourselves in constant states of change. How do you pick yourself up to re-purpose when you need to? How do you leverage the good days when you have them? How do you harness the power of failure as you move forward?  Enjoy this and much more during this episode of The CLiP.

    Lisa Lisson - President of FedEx Express Canada

    Lisa Lisson, President of FedEx Express Canada, sits down with us in this episode of The CLiP. Lisa’s life seemed perfect: she had married her high school sweetheart, applied her marketing degree to a position at FedEx Express Canada, and risen to become a Vice President, and later President, of the company. One night, after putting their four children to bed, her husband, Patrick, marvelled that their lives seemed perfectly happy. Just a few hours later, everything changed. Assumed the job first female, One moment Lisa was sleeping beside Patrick, and the next, she was kneeling on the floor beside his unconscious body frantically administering CPR. Patrick had had a massive heart attack and was in a coma, and the doctors were blunt: there was no hope. But for the next two years, Lisa stood by his side and awaited a miracle, while continuing to balance life as a high-powered executive and mother of four. In this episode, we discuss Lisa’s inspirational story about how she rose to the top in a man’s world, and triumphed over adversity to lead a fulfilling life, living each day with purpose and gratitude.

    Randy Cass - Founder of Nest Wealth and Fintech Innovator

    Randy Cass is our guest in this episode of the CLiP. He is the founder and CEO of Nest Wealth, a Canadian Robo Advisor.  If you are not familiar with this term, a robo advisor is a service that uses specialized software to do the job of wealth managers or investment advisors.  It manages your money at a fraction of the cost of a traditional professional investment advisor. Nest Wealth is not a multi-billion dollar company…yet. We have a candid discussion with Randy about being an entrepreneur, his successes and failures along the way and what leadership lessons he learned.  He talks about the various iterations of his career that got him to the point of having one of the most talked about robo advisory companies in the country.

    Dominic Barton - Global Managing Partner, McKinsey

    Dominic Barton, who is near the end of his term as McKinsey and Company’s appointed Global Managing Partner, travels the world over 200 days of the year and his days are structured, efficient and jammed to the rafters.  Thus, it was a real treat to talk with him privately for nearly an hour.  At the McKinsey Canadian head office, stunningly situated amongst UofT and surrounding museums, he joins us for this episode of The Clip. Dominic is Canadian but runs a global business and is very passionate on the long term sustainability of our country and business in general. With this background, his views and ideas come from the heart but are paired with the benefit of best practices gathered from all over the planet. He has authored a long list of articles, almost as long as the list of awards he has gathered for his personal and professional contributions.  Dominic is also the co-chair of the Focusing Capital on the Long Term initiative, which we discuss in this episode. The initiative seeks to develop practical structures, metrics, and approaches for longer-term behaviours in the investment and business worlds.  We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed the interview.

    John Bitove - Serial Entrepreneur

    John Bitove Jr. is our guest on this episode of The CLiP. If his name rings a bell for you, it should. Not only is he responsible for bringing Taco Bell and KFC, as well as XM Radio to Canada, he is the founder of a little NBA team called the Toronto Raptors —have you heard of them? In this episode, John tells us about his 2008 Olympic bid for Toronto, and his experiences growing up in an entrepreneurial family, and how “there’s a certain mindset…an aggressiveness.” However aggressive John Bitove has been, his success clearly stems from a well built foundation of good leadership, learnt-from-mistakes, and a passion for getting it right.   For up to date episodes of The CLiP follow us on twitter @VlaadCo | Please leave us a review on iTunes.
