How much of a role does technology have in building a community? For Joseph Nakhla, Founder and CEO at Tribe Property Technologies, not only is technology an essential part of managing a multifamily residential property, but it is also key to addressing the needs of property managers, landlords, and property owners alike. Kenrick is joined by Joseph to discuss urbanization trends in both Canada and the United States, how "unaffordable housing" is pushing new families to the condo market or multifamily residences, the impact of rising interest rates, how rental rates have returned to pre-pandemic levels, and the complexities involved with condo modernization and residential community living. With the exponential growth of condo developments in North America, there is a dire need for modernization that allows property managers, property owners, and tenants to become more “interconnected” when it comes to communication, services, and oversight. Kenrick and Joseph explore what Tribe’s technology looks like, their digital partnerships, and how with 8 acquisitions in their history and approximately 40,000 units under management today, why Tribe is at the leading edge of a major digital transformation in the real estate industry.

Becoming a successful entrepreneur is a unique journey for women as the statistics show that there are STILL significant, systemic challenges for females looking to run their own business. Since the pandemic began there's been a “boom” in female self-starters looking for work-life balance and a career that fulfills them. So why are there still so many barriers to entry for these emerging business leaders? Kenrick is joined by Robin Kovitz the CEO of Baskits, a specialty retailer that designs, manufacturers, and delivers unique and luxurious gifts to over 40,000 customers across Canada and the United States. After years in investment banking, consulting, and private equity, Robin overcame several obstacles to become the CEO of this rapidly growing enterprise. They discuss the “intangible” qualities that make for a successful entrepreneur, why there is lower representation of female entrepreneurs across the Canadian business landscape, what it really means to support women-led enterprises and so much more. They also discuss the rapid growth at Baskits, why there's been a gift basket revival, and why, according to the numbers, women-led enterprises actually perform better over time.

The Oil and Gas sector has never been under more scrutiny than it is today. With renewable or “green” energy at the forefront of people's minds and the war in Russia creating high oil prices and a surge in gasoline prices at the pump, there are a lot of questions surrounding the carbon-based natural resources that keep our world running. Kenrick is joined by Joel MacLeod, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Tidewater Midstream and Tidewater Renewables to unpack the many complexities of the oil and gas industry. They talk about the midstream business, break down some key industry terms like API gravity, LCFS, Carbon capture and Liquified Natural Gas (LNG), and explore Joel's thoughts regarding the global energy markets as a whole. They also discuss the future of coal, oil, gasoline prices, and how renewable diesel could help fill a notable void in the transportation fuel markets. Finally, there is an interesting discussion about the role of methane - yes, cow gas! - and the value proposition of collecting cow manure and converting it into Renewable Natural Gas.

What does it mean to be a successful entrepreneur? Kenrick is joined by Justin Thouin, Co-Founder at LowestRates.ca, to discuss his journey as an entrepreneur and how the company he started, LowestRates.ca, is saving billions of dollars for Canadians on car insurance, mortgages and more. They dissect the different kinds of entrepreneurs (innovator, imitator, large, small, scaleup, social, etc.) and whether entrepreneurs are typically problem solvers or risk-takers. Justin also addresses an article he wrote five years ago, "Canadians need to admit that they have a financial literacy problem”, and discusses an insightful avocado toast analogy when it comes to saving money on car insurance. As household debt continues to swell, are most Canadians still financially illiterate or can financial education help us all better manage our day-to-day expenses?

Approximately 3 million used vehicles are sold annually in Canada which represents a $40 Billion used auto market. The average life expectancy of a car continues to increase, and it seems like there's never been a better time for Canadians to own a car, especially during a time when public transit no longer feels like a safe option.  Todd Hudson, CEO of Axis Auto Finance, joins Kenrick Sylvestre to discuss Axis's leadership in the vehicle finance space, and how its customers can actually improve their credit rating through an Axis loan. They also chat about the “game changing” DriveAxis.ca portal which provides customers access to over 20,000 vehicles, and allows them to buy a car, secure financing and have it delivered right to their home – all from their smartphone!  They unpack the sheer scale of the online used vehicle market, the "Amazon Effect'', the Axis Credit Engine (or ACE) underwriting platform, and so much more. Together they relive their football glory days, or at least Todd's anyways, look ahead to the future for auto loans and what it really means when more consumers have access to them. --- Stocks Not Sports is a podcast brought to you by INFOR Financial Group.

After working from home for over two years now, many employees have settled into their new digital workspaces. However, many of these same employees are also looking to escape their homes and desire a flexible work culture that allows them to work from anywhere. As “return to work” mandates are put into effect, employees and employers have embraced a hybrid model where employees can indeed find office space closer to home - but not necessarily their guest bedroom. Enter: Flexday. Justin Raymond, CEO & Founder of Flexday, joins Kenrick Sylvestre to discuss the Flexday app, how the marketplace works with landlords, brokers and co-working spaces, and what kinds of options are available for companies that are looking to save costs by downsizing or shrinking their overall real estate footprint. A hybrid work model creates a “distributed” employee base and the Flexday solution essentially keeps employees and employers connected to flexible office space. Flexday provides a solution that helps modernize the way landlords, brokers and tenants operate and they are poised to disrupt the office space model as we know it. --- Stocks Not Sports is a podcast brought to you by INFOR Financial Group.

When you're an actor, it can feel like everyone from an agent to a director is a key decision maker but you. So, what does it really mean to be "in the business" of acting? Kenrick is joined by Stephen Amell, a highly successful Canadian actor and producer. You may know him by his various aliases including Oliver Queen aka the Green Arrow and Jack Spade from the new Starz hit show "Heels".  While they take some time to share their love of comics, television, sports, and some behind the scenes stories, they also take a deep dive into the kind of business decision-making that comes with being the lead on a highly successful series with an 8-year track record, the WWE as a business, broadcast networks and streaming rights, wine-making as an enterprise, and whether Stephen Amell the actor is "fairly valued" or "undervalued". --- Stocks Not Sports is a podcast brought to you by INFOR Financial Group.

Due to the creation and adoption of non-linear content, in recent years there have been dramatic changes to both the film and television industry. This means that today's TV writers and producers have been forced to be even more creative and experimental in order to create the next “binge-worthy” show. This monumental shift in how viewers consume content means that networks and production companies now think differently when it comes to investing in properties, and what projects will ultimately be “green-lighted”.  So what does this mean for the humble TV writer/producer? In this episode,  Leonard Dick, award-winning television writer and producer of several hit shows including The Good Wife, The Mentalist, House, and Lost, joins Kenrick Sylvestre to unpack today's landscape for TV and film production, the future of non-linear content, and what it's like to land a writing and producing gig today. --- Stocks Not Sports is a podcast brought to you by INFOR Financial Group.
