NEW – Venture Capital, Wildfires & Air Quality

Shane Hewitt welcomes to the show David Clough, assistant professor at UBC Sauder School of Business, discussed venture capital, clarifying its role in funding startups versus private equity’s impact on established businesses, and highlighting the need for business education before starting a venture.

Wildfires rage across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and northern Alberta. Stéphane Bilodeau, an expert in indoor air quality, ventilation, and thermodynamics and an Adjunct Professor of Bioengineering at McGill University, joins the Nightshift to discuss air quality concerns, impacts, and precautions. He will also address the increased likelihood—at least five times greater due to climate change—of wildfires and extreme heat events or droughts.
