Follow the show: No Magic Pill with Blake Mycoskie Chip Conley was driving to the Golden Gate Bridge to jump when a phone call with a friend and a song on the radio made him reconsider ending his life. He was in his late 40s, a time in which data shows we are generally at our unhappiest. Now, the former hospitality entrepreneur runs the Modern Elder Academy, which has helped more than 7,000 people embrace getting older.

    Harjit Sajjan reports for duty

    "I know people with amazing ideas, but they don't have the right investment to take their idea to the prototype stage. At the prototype stage, they don't have the ability to take it to the manufacturing stage. So guess what happens? Another company from outside the country comes and snatches 'em up. It was heartbreaking to see that our amazing talent is being sucked away." After decades in public service roles, former Minister of Defence Harjit Sajjan is reporting for duty once again as a defence-tech entrepreneur with Vancouver-based Juno Industries. Sajjan joins this week to offer a SITREP for Canada, including his thoughts on the Defence Industrial Strategy and Juno's plans to become an innovation hub for defence in Canada. -- The BetaKit Podcast is presented by Zoho, developers of a unique and powerful software suite that transforms the way you work.

    How to fix Canadian VC

    "We have a collective action problem. Somebody has to take the first step and say, 'Hey, we're going to deploy a lot of capital here in Canada. We're gonna bet that Canada is going to grow more over the next 20 years than it did over the last 20 years." Recent data shows that the bottom has fallen out of Canadian venture capital, erasing any post-pandemic highs and taking the country back about a decade in terms of both dollars raised and dollars deployed by our nation's VCs. What's the reason for Canadian venture's slow decline? What is the impact on the ecosystem? And most importantly, what can be done to reverse the trend? A power panel of grumpy men in venture join to discuss: Matt Roberts (RBCx), Jesse Wiebe (Startup TNT), and Ben Bergen (CVCA). -- The BetaKit Podcast is presented by Zoho, developers of a unique and powerful software suite that transforms the way you work.
