	Brian McClennon, The Future of Employee Savings in Canada	12 Nov 2025	00:49:12
Tyler Chisholm talks with Brian McLennan, CEO and co-founder of Link—a Calgary-based fintech platform revolutionizing how workplace savings plans are built and delivered across Canada. Rather than compete with financial institutions, Link enables them. The company provides a white-label infrastructure for banks, credit unions, and employers to deliver modern, digital-first retirement savings plans like RRSPs, TFSAs, and pensions. Brian shares how Link is helping close the access gap for the more than 50% of working Canadians who currently have no workplace savings plan—and why that's not just a market opportunity, but a national challenge. They discuss the shift from legacy administration models to flexible, advisor-friendly platforms; the ROI of employer matching; and how even the smallest businesses can now offer big-company benefits. Brian also unpacks Link’s early pivots, the power of partnerships, and why solving the infrastructure problem is the key to lasting impact. In this episode: What Link is and how it works behind the scenes Why financial infrastructure is often the invisible unlock The benefits of employer matching and behavioral nudges Digital advice, fund selection, and user experience Retirement savings access across Canada’s workforce How Link balances tech scale with advisory partnerships Calgary’s emerging role in Canada’s fintech ecosystem The global future of workplace financial benefits Top 3 Wisdom Bombs “Ultimately what we're trying to accomplish is afford employees the ability to have a dignified retirement—to retire on their own terms.” - Brian McClennon “Energy stocks can make 25-year-old millionaires—or cut portfolios in half. Diversify.” - Brian McClennon “Australia’s superannuation system shows what happens when saving is mandated—assets in the trillions, people ready for retirement.” - Brian McClennon This episode is brought to you by clearmotive marketing.

	Jeff Couillard and Pablo Romero, The New Dynamics of Power in Leadership	30 Oct 2025	01:10:56
How do you build a team where leadership is shared, not hoarded? Where power is a tool for progress—not control? In this deeply insightful episode, Tyler Chisholm speaks with Jeff Couillard and Pablo Romero, co-CEOs of The Ally Co, about the future of leadership, the hidden cost of hierarchy, and why real change starts with self-awareness. As consultants working with everyone from fast-scaling startups to major global energy firms, Jeff and Pablo share how they help organizations move from performative leadership to purposeful transformation. Together, they explore the concept of “leaderful teams”—environments where trust, dialogue, and distributed power become strategic advantages. They dig into how leaders can build psychological safety, address unconscious bias, and break cycles of “artificial harmony” that often undermine growth. The conversation also touches on the Ally Co’s own co-CEO structure, revealing how it models the accountability and allyship they teach. Whether you're managing people, designing culture, or leading change in a complex system, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes leadership is a shared responsibility—not a solo act. In this episode: What it means to create “leaderful teams” Why power isn’t inherently good or bad—and how to use it more consciously The importance of psychological safety in organizational performance The common gap between good intentions and real-world impact How leaders in technical industries can unlearn old paradigms The value of co-leadership and distributed decision-making Top 3 Wisdom Bombs “Leadership isn’t what you do to people—it’s what you do with them.” - Pablo Romero “If we’ve done our job right, things might feel worse before they feel better. That’s how you know you’re being honest.” - Pablo Romero “Power is just the ability to affect change. It’s neutral. What matters is how you use it.” - Jeff Couillard This episode is brought to you by clearmotive marketing.

In this candid and insightful episode, Tyler Chisholm is joined by Barry Po—CEO of Brilliant and a veteran of mCloud and HSBC—to talk about what AI really means for business leaders today. Far from the hype, Barry focuses on clarity, strategy, and the courage it takes to lead meaningful change.

	Marcello Di Cintio, Labour, Policy, and Prejudice: What Fuels Canada’s Migrant Worker System	08 Oct 2025	00:58:57
In this powerful departure from the usual business talk, Collisions YYC host Tyler Chisholm reconnects with longtime friend and award-winning author Marcello Di Cintio to discuss his newest book, Precarious: The Lives of Migrant Workers. What begins as a conversation about storytelling and research quickly becomes a compelling dissection of Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program—a system that many Canadian businesses now depend on, yet one that “enables bad bosses to be bad” and quietly upholds racial and economic divides. Tyler brings the lens of a business owner frustrated by labour shortages, while Marcello offers moving and deeply researched accounts of the people working behind the scenes in farms, restaurants, and care facilities. For leaders navigating a tight labour market, this episode challenges you to see migrant workers not just as solutions to staffing problems—but as human beings who deserve better from the systems they uphold. Buy the book: Precarious: The Lives of Migrant Workers Support Calgary indie booksellers like Shelf Life Books or Owl’s Nest Books. In This Episode Why Canada’s labour policies don’t live up to its values The historical shift from European to racialized migrant labour Stories of courage, loss, and exploitation across sectors The business owner’s frustration vs. the worker’s reality Hope from the frontlines of advocacy This episode is brought to you by clearmotive marketing.

	John Hetherington, AI That Transforms Finance Teams	16 Sep 2025	00:55:49
In this episode, our host Tyler Chisholm reconnects with returning guest John Hetherington—consultant, systems thinker, and trusted advisor to finance leaders navigating complexity in the AI era. John’s mission? Help financial teams in mid-sized companies (100–500 employees, $50–100M revenue) close their month-end books twice as fast through systems thinking, automation, and a clear-eyed approach to change management. They explore why chaos can’t scale—but systems can—and how finance teams can avoid burnout by building smarter processes. John shares his “Absorb, Assemble, Align” model for introducing AI responsibly and emphasizes the need to clarify how teams will use the time saved by automation. They also tackle the human side of transformation, including the 20/60/20 rule of change management and the importance of securing buy-in from the people doing the work. The conversation highlights how process improvement—not shiny new tech—is often the most impactful kind of innovation. John also introduces his RAPID framework as a practical blueprint for sustainable change, and he and Tyler discuss how to align automation efforts with brand, culture, and trust. If your board is asking “what’s our AI strategy?” or your finance team is drowning in spreadsheets, this episode will help you zoom out, clarify your goals, and implement change that actually sticks.
