Drew and James open the show with a quick chat about the bust week then jump straight into the meetups. This week is packed, so be sure to listen carefully. We also have Charles Iliya Krempeaux from Koho as our special guest.
If you are interested in seeing the video with the 12-year-old girl talking about how horrible Canadian banks are, you can watch the video here.
Charles grew up in Vancouver and spent the majority of his career here. He has an impressive resume and list of accomplishments. We talk about all of the meetups Charles organizes as well as some of the past companies he has worked with.
