Because what, once you stop competing against others, like, let's say it's like, oh, you know, I want to be on this Drake level, at this The Weeknd level, once you get to that, what's really fascinating about people like that is they're still competing now, but just against themselves.

So it never ends.

We speak to Michael Schmalz, former President of Digital Extremes, on how a Canadian gaming studio, based in London Ontario impacted the global gaming industry.

So early days, we had that success and got the credibility, made a lot of money, mostly not for us, and then that kind of jettison jettisoned us forward. And I came on in, I think late 2003 just as we were kind of planning for the transition to Xbox 360

Then, we explore the future of entrepreneurship and investing in Canada with legendary founder and investor, Kevin Sullivan.

We also meet young rising founders from our summer internship program, and discover what drew them to entrepreneurship and the specific problems they are working to solve.
