Ottawa, Canada and speaks English

Available for in In-Person, Remote Formats

Paper Napkin Wisdom listeners are growth-obsessed entrepreneurs, emerging and mid-market CEOs, and impact-driven leaders—typically 30-55 years old—who value candid, actionable insight over hype. They’re founders scaling their first venture, C-suite executives steering established teams, and social-impact innovators reinventing business models for good. Analytical yet curious, they devour frameworks like EOS and Focus–Align–Act, seek practical tactics for resilience, culture, and cash flow, and gravitate to stories that reveal both the wins and the messy pivots behind them. Lifelong learners with a bias for execution, they use the podcast as a pocket-sized MBA: a place to mine real-world wisdom, sharpen mindset and leadership skills, and turn napkin-sized ideas into measurable results.
