Episode # 19 : Who's Paying When the Oil Companies Are Gone?

Monday, July 20, 2026 • Duration 27:45

Markets & Leaders Podcast | The Hidden Disaster Beneath Millions of Homes with Catherine Flax

What if one of the biggest environmental challenges in North America was hidden beneath your feet?
In this episode of the Markets & Leaders Podcast, host Lyndsay Malchuk sits down with Catherine Flax, Chief Executive Officer of Zefiro, to explore the growing challenge of orphaned and abandoned oil and gas wells across the United States and Canada.
Millions of legacy wells remain scattered across communities, farmland, forests, and even near homes and schools. Many continue to emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas, while posing environmental, financial, and public safety challenges that are only now beginning to receive widespread attention.
Together, Lyndsay and Catherine discuss how decades of energy development have created a modern day infrastructure challenge, the role of government and private industry in addressing it, how methane emissions are being measured and reduced, and why innovative financing models, including carbon markets, are becoming an important part of the solution.
This conversation goes beyond the environmental headlines to examine the intersection of energy, infrastructure, sustainability, investment, and long term economic responsibility.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• What orphaned and abandoned oil and gas wells are and why they matter• The environmental and economic impacts of methane emissions• Why millions of legacy wells remain unplugged across North America• How public and private sectors are working together to accelerate remediation• The role of carbon credits and innovative financing in environmental restoration• Why this issue represents both an environmental challenge and an investment opportunity• What the future of responsible energy infrastructure could look like
Whether you're an investor, energy professional, policymaker, sustainability advocate, or simply interested in the future of environmental responsibility, this episode provides valuable insight into one of the most overlooked infrastructure challenges of our time.

Episode # 18 : Hollywood Is Quietly Teaching Wall Street a Lesson with Brian Balthazar

Monday, July 13, 2026 • Duration 46:43

What happens when Hollywood collides with Wall Street? You get a conversation that goes far beyond red carpets, celebrity headlines and box office numbers.

In this episode of the Markets & Leaders podcast, host Lyndsay Malchuk sits down with longtime television executive and entertainment journalist Brian Balthazar, who has spent decades interviewing some of Hollywood's biggest stars and watching the entertainment industry transform from the inside.

From the streaming wars and the battle for our attention to the explosive value of live sports, the 2026 FIFA World Cup, artificial intelligence and the changing economics behind the content we consume, Lyndsay and Brian pull back the curtain on an industry undergoing one of the most dramatic reinventions in its history.

Why are some of the world's biggest companies pouring billions into entertainment and premium sports rights? What happens when AI enters one of the most creative and fiercely protective industries on the planet? And in a world where audiences can watch almost anything, anywhere, at any time, why have shared live experiences suddenly become so extraordinarily valuable?

It's smart, candid, funny and occasionally a little unpredictable, because when Lyndsay and Brian get together, a traditional interview was never really an option.

This is Hollywood from the inside, capital markets from the outside, and one very entertaining conversation about what happens when the business of entertainment meets the business of money.

Episode # 17 : DRIPA Was Meant To Create Certainty… What Happened?

Monday, July 6, 2026 • Duration 45:12

DRIPA was meant to create certainty, the clear path is now no as easy to see. Host Lyndsay Malchuk discusses the current state of DRIPA with Todd Stone.

Episode # 16 : THE RESOURCE SUPERPOWER QUESTION: IS CANADA READY?

Friday, June 12, 2026 • Duration 17:58

In this 16th episode of Markets and Leaders, host Lyndsay Malchuk sits down with Sander Grieve, Lead Director and Partner at Bennett Jones LLP, for a grounded, no-hype conversation about the real state of Canada‘s critical minerals ambition. While headlines focus on gold‘s strength and geopolitical turmoil, Sander points to the overlooked crisis: Canada has almost no refining or smelting capacity for its own minerals. More than 90% of what is mined heads to Asia for processing, then returns to Canada at a premium. He explains why the US is moving aggressively with equity and debt investments while Canada plays catch-up, how BC‘s land-use restrictions and complex community relations add friction, and why investors still favour gold for its certainty. The discussion also covers uranium as the next strategic bright spot, the lag in M&A activity despite cheap capital, and what it will take for Canada to move from talk to a thousand priority projects. If you want to understand whether Canada will lead the resource future or just supply it, this is the conversation to watch.Sander Grieve, Bennett Jones, critical minerals, Canada mining, refining capacity, smelting capacity, gold price, silver breakout, uranium, copper, resource nationalism, US critical minerals policy, BC mining, First Nations engagement, M&A mining sector, geopolitics of resources, battery supply chain, Toronto Stock Exchange, mining investment, Markets and Leaders, Lyndsay Malchuk, Apaton Media.

Episode # 15 : BC Wants Critical Minerals. Why Are Investors Walking Away?

Friday, June 12, 2026 • Duration 43:55

British Columbia wants critical minerals, economic growth, and energy security – yet behind closed doors, exploration companies are asking a harder question: Is BC becoming too difficult to invest in? In this 15th episode of Markets and Leaders, host Lyndsay Malchuk sits down with Todd Stone, President & CEO of the Association for Mineral Exploration (AME) and former BC cabinet minister. Todd brings a unique insider perspective on the growing gap between political ambition and operational reality. They dig into the real mood of investors, the long permitting delays, the silent retreat of capital, and the policy contradictions that have locked up over 50% of BC’s land mass from responsible exploration. Todd shares why Canada’s economic sovereignty, national security, and future leadership in AI and quantum all start with exploration – and why getting the policy right today will determine whether BC captures $90 billion in mining investment or watches capital move elsewhere. If you want to understand what’s really happening on the ground in one of the world’s most resource-rich regions, this is the conversation to watch.

Episode # 14 : Everything Just Got Harder Financially… But Did You Know This?

Friday, June 12, 2026 • Duration 23:18

Money isn’t as cheap as it used to be. When the cost of borrowing changes, every asset class has to adjust – whether it wants to or not. In this 14th episode of Markets and Leaders, host Lyndsay Malchuk sits down with Michael Succurro – CEO of Fluent Capital Inc., president of Spark Financial Group, and principal broker / president of Spark Mortgages Canada Inc. – for a ground‑level look at what rising bond yields actually do to real estate, consumer spending, and your financial options. Michael breaks down why the market is stuck between the reality of 2020/2021 and the reality of now, how “smart money” is quietly moving into cash‑flowing properties, and why today’s mortgage rates are not “crazy” – they’re just back to normal. He also explains why consumer spending cracks first, what the World Cup means for struggling restaurants, and one simple signal anyone can check on realtor.ca to see whether the market is stabilizing or still under pressure. If you’ve felt like everything got harder financially but couldn’t explain why, this conversation gives you the language and the signals to understand what’s actually happening.

Episode # 13 : Nuclear Energy, War Risk, and What Comes Next with Conor Lynch

Friday, June 12, 2026 • Duration 46:14

The Middle East conflict is not just geopolitical tension – it is a live stress test on the entire global energy system. Every spike in oil, every supply disruption, forces the same question back into focus: where does reliable energy actually come from when everything else becomes unpredictable? In this 13th episode of Markets and Leaders, host Lyndsay Malchuk sits down with Conor Lynch, founder of American Atomics, for a hard-hitting look at the hidden choke points in energy markets. They discuss why the Strait of Hormuz disruption is far from over, how 20% of Qatar's LNG compressors were destroyed (with 3-5 year lead times), and why nuclear fuel supply chains – from yellow cake to HALEU – are now a strategic imperative. Conor explains the real bottleneck for AI data centers is not chips but power, the critical role of SMRs, and why the uranium long-term contract price has been rising for five straight years. He also breaks down the "chain reaction" of a full-scale Middle East escalation, a Western nuclear buildout under national security mandates, and what happens if AI energy demand doubles overnight. If you want to understand what the market is not pricing in, this is the conversation to watch.

Episode # 12 : The Metals Market Just Got Exposed With Florian Grummes

Friday, June 12, 2026 • Duration 50:57

Florian Grummes, founder of Midas Touch Consulting, for a raw, on-the-ground conversation recorded in the wake of the Iran-Israel conflict. Florian shares his firsthand experience fleeing Dubai as drones were shot down, then connects the dots between geopolitical shocks, the fragile US petrodollar system, and the return of stagflation. He explains why the commodity super cycle is now confirmed, why oil has exploded while gold and silver correct, and why Bitcoin's stability during the crisis signals a potential bounce – but not the end of crypto winter. Florian also breaks down the battle for energy corridors, China's gold-backed currency ambitions versus America's digital dollar pivot, and why hard assets are no longer optional. If you want to understand what the metals market just exposed about our global system, this is the conversation to watch.

Episode # 11 : Ronald Stoeferle Warns ... The 60 40 Era Is Over.

Friday, June 12, 2026 • Duration 01:24:21

Ronald-Peter Stoeferle, Managing Partner and Fund Manager at Incrementum AG. As the author of the globally recognized "In Gold We Trust" report since 2007, Stoeferle offers a bold and contrarian take on why the traditional 60/40 portfolio is broken. In this episode, he explains the shift from a disinflationary era to one of structural inflation and fiscal dominance, why gold and commodities are still dramatically under-owned, and how a new portfolio construction that includes gold, silver, Bitcoin, and hard assets is not just a tweak but a necessary philosophical shift for the coming decade. Discover the case for a remonetization of gold, the explosive potential of silver, and why the current bull market in hard assets is still in its early innings.
