Two lifelong friends, comedian/actor Shaun Majumder and entrepreneur Ron Lovett, kick off their new show with a gloves-off conversation about Canada’s identity, confidence, and “mojo.” Why are Canadians so hesitant to celebrate success? How does tall poppy syndrome hold us back? And what would it look like if Canadians took their gloves off and went all-in on big ideas in business, community, and culture?
They trade stories from the entertainment industry and entrepreneurship, talk about raising a $300M fund, rejection, risk, and resilience, and set the stage for a podcast that will spotlight Canadians who are quietly doing world-class things—and need to get loud about it.
