Where There's a Way, There's a Will

In this, our first episode of "Background Noise" we go directly to "what's next". As much a statement as it is a question, posed by Calgary entrepreneurs Jim Gibson, Greg Hart, and James Lochrie - founders of Thin Air Labs. There mission is bold, but simple: "Design, fund and nurture prosperous and lasting economies for Calgary, and beyond".
David Gaudet sat down with Jim and Greg at their original office in Calgary's spectacular Central Library, in December 2019. They hosted their official public launch January 16, in another, albeit, much older, landmark, The Grand Theatre.
Prior to the interview with Undoing's founders, Marc Boivin (Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary), and David Gaudet; (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology) discuss the reason for their new podcast, and chat about Dave's visit to Thin Air Labs.
Readings:


"The New Reality"; Jonas & Jonathan Salk"Doughnut Economics"; Kate Raworth"The Value of Everything"; Mariana Mazzucato"Tip of The Spear"; Jim Gibson
