Inspiring stories from outstanding Canadian businesspeople, since 2009.
The Entrepreneurs: Dax Dasilva, founder and CEO, Lightspeed Commerce + Myriam Belzile-Maguire, co-founder and designer, Maguire Shoes
On our Holiday Retail Spectacular, we catch up with two returning retail champions who preach "focus" in these turbulent times: an e-commerce and point-of-sale innovator who recently returned to his executive role, and a hybrid online-storefront shoe designer who surprised us by doubling down on Brooklyn brick-and-mortar.
In the news, Mike and Dan break down big-picture economic uncertainty in Canada with Trump's tariff threats, an abrupt change at the head of the Finance Ministry and an unknown timeline for the Prime Minister's expected resignation; Québec's heavily-subsidized electric vehicle transition plans face hurdles, public sector workers go from a minority to a majority of in-office workdays, and the ongoing debate on how to be remote and professional.
Happy Holidays from the Inspiring Entrepreneurs team: Mike, Dan, Marjorie and Fernando. We'll be off for a few weeks but stay tuned for more wisdom from outstanding Canadian businesspeople, and the latest #cdnbiz news and analysis.For more information about Inspiring Entrepreneurs programming in the new year, contact TNKR Media.
