    Episode 178: Combining Eco-Conscious, Non-Toxic Apparel With AI | Lacey Cadieux, Founder And CEO of Rhubia Ventures

    What if your wardrobe could help you save time, reduce waste, improve your confidence, and make better decisions every day? In this episode of The Next In Time Podcast, I sit down with Lacey Cadieux-McLean, founder and CEO of Rhubaia Ventures, a Calgary-based fashion-tech company redefining how women interact with their clothing through sustainable apparel and AI-powered technology. Raised on a ranch in Alberta and backed by a career in IT project management, entrepreneurship, and authorship, Lacey recognized a growing problem: professional women often struggle to find clothing that is healthy, functional, stylish, and environmentally responsible. Rather than accepting the status quo, she founded Rhubaia to create a smarter approach to fashion—combining eco-conscious, non-toxic professional apparel with an AI-powered virtual closet that helps users organize outfits, reduce decision fatigue, and make more intentional purchasing choices. During our conversation, we explore the intersection of fashion, sustainability, technology, and consumer behavior. Lacey shares how AI can help reduce textile waste, why healthier clothing materials matter, and how digital wardrobe tools can empower individuals to simplify their lives while making a positive impact on the environment. Whether you're interested in entrepreneurship, sustainability, artificial intelligence, fashion innovation, or simply looking for ways to streamline your daily routine, this episode offers a fascinating look at how technology is reshaping one of the most personal aspects of our lives.

    Episode 174: Bringing Transparency And Real Savings To Everyday Grocery Shoopers | Andy Ellwood, Founder and CEO of Stretch

    Grocery shoppers today are dealing with rising prices, confusing promotions, and very little transparency around where they can actually save money. For everyday families, comparing costs across stores can be time-consuming, frustrating, and often ineffective — especially when the system has long favored retailers over shoppers. Andy Ellwood is bringing transparency and real savings back to the grocery experience Andy is the Founder and CEO of Stretch, launching the first shopping intelligence platform to bring transparency and real savings to everyday grocery shoppers. He has a Texas upbringing as the oldest of four, started his first successful lawn care business at 12, and later sold private jets for Warren Buffett. After jumping into tech, he drove teams that led to Facebook and Google acquisitions. But it was co-founding Basket, the pioneer in grocery price transparency, where Andy saw firsthand how challenging and critical it is to disrupt old industries for the benefit of real people.

    Episode 173: The Future Of AI Enabled Inventory Management | David Hailey, Founder and CEO of Countifi

David is the Founder and CEO of Countifi, an Atlanta-based company transforming how organizations manage inventory through artificial intelligence and computer vision.
