We’re thrilled to share an insightful presentation by Dr. Victoria Hurth, featured at the Canadian Securities Exchange’s Summit on Responsible Investment (SORI)! 🎬 In this presentation, Dr. Hurth dives into the rapidly evolving landscape of investing, regulation, and the state of our economy.
Key Highlights:
✨ Guiding Principles in a Complex World: Dr. Hurth emphasizes that while the world may be complex, fundamental principles can steer us towards a common goal: ensuring long-term well-being for all.

🌍 ESG and Business Transformation: As environmental, social, and governance (ESG) regulations drive change, businesses are adapting to meet health thresholds for social and environmental systems.
💡 Empowering Purpose-Driven Organizations: Dr. Hurth advocates for purpose-driven organizations as a powerful model to align with society’s best interests and to tap into human energy for addressing major global challenges.
Don't miss this thought-provoking session with Dr. Hurth, where she unpacks the principles, challenges, and opportunities that will define the future of responsible investment. 🌍💼 #SORI2024 #ResponsibleInvestment #SustainableEconomy #Governance #ESG #PurposeDriven

On this week's episode of the Exchange for Entrepreneurs Podcast we welcome back Todd Shapiro, CEO of Red Light Holland (CSE:TRIP). In this week's conversation, we discuss why their stock symbol isn't quite as representative of the company as it once was (or was meant to be) and "dig" into the things they are doing to diversify within the realm of mushrooms.
Red Light Holland is a company that originally found its platform around psychotropic (or hallucinogenic) truffles, specifically in the realm of microdosing. Now the company has expanded its business to the world of "exotic" mushrooms, and Todd explains why this movement beyond psychedelic mushrooms is part of a larger vision and passion to build a legacy business that can extend to future generations.

Jay Martin, President and CEO of Cambridge House International makes his long-overdue return to the Exchange for Entrepreneurs podcast!
In this episode we follow-up 30 months after our last conversation with Jay when the impact of the global pandemic was starting to irreversibly alter the path of his business at Cambridge House International - a business anchored by several well-known investment conferences. Since that time Jay has moved most of Cambridge's activities into the online-content world with the exception of the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC), which takes its rightful place again in Vancouver from January 29-30, 2023.
In this discussion Jay reveals the reasons for bringing back the show and why its still critically important to bring investors and entrepreneurs together under one roof. He also highlights how his experience with one former Prime Minister re-affirmed his belief in bringing the conference back as an in-person event.
Mr. Martin also discusses his viewpoints on investors newsletters and how he sources his own motivation for writing a weekly digest for his followers. For those looking for advice on who to follow or what newsletters to consider then look no further than Jay's principles shared on this week's program.

We start our second show of the season by revisiting one of the most memorable interviews from last season with Ilan Sobel, CEO of BioHarvest Sciences (CSE:BHSC). On last year's interview we learned about the driving mission of his company to build "human utility value". We use that as a jumping-off point as we re-unite after a notable year for the company despite global and economic headwinds.
Ilan provides an update on BioHarvest's two key product verticals in the Polyphenol and Cannabis sectors, and how each are taking unique (and in some cases, similar) paths to market. Ilan also reflects on some of the choices the company has made with respect to developing its sales funnel and shares valuable lessons about acting as a "learning" organization and listening to your customers.
Mr. Sobel is Chief Executive officer of BioHarvest Sciences Inc. (CSE:BHSC) - the developer and exclusive owner of the proprietary and patent-protected BioFarming technology. It is the first and only industrial-scale plant cell technology capable of producing the active plant ingredients without the necessity to grow the plant itself. The Company’s technology is non-GMO and has already been validated by VINIA®, the red grapes cells functional food/dietary supplement produced and sold by BioHarvest Sciences Inc. The Company plans to generate significant revenue within the global nutraceutical ingredients and dietary supplements market with VINIA® and other Super Fruit Nutraceutical products. Further, by adapting this technology to the Cannabis plant, and building adequate production capacity, BioHarvest Sciences Inc.’s objective is to become a leading supplier of Cannabis for both medicinal and legal recreational purposes.

The Hughes property is host to the high-grade past-producing Belmont Mine, one of the most prolific silver producers in the United States between 1903 and 1929. The mine has remained inactive since commercial production ceased in 1929 due to heavily depressed metal prices and little to no modern exploration work has ever been completed.

CSE's Anil Mall chats with Exro Technologies Inc. (CSE:XRO) CEO Sue Ozdemir about their strategy to commercialize its proprietary technology through strategic partnerships for specific near-term market opportunities.
Here's an overview of what they cover in this podcast:
01:32 - Making electric motors smart with power electronics.
4:12 - A new type of inverter - intelligent coil driver.
5:43 - Positioned in the $100Bn global electric vehicle market.
8:01 - Sue’s background in the electric motor business, including GE Motor Division.
12:10 - Partnership 1 - Potential to retrofit combustion engines with electric engines.

17:11 - Partnership 4 - Sea Electric to develop an electric delivery van and co-developing a garbage truck for NA market.
21:18 - The approach to engaging new partners.
Exro is a Clean Tech company that has developed a new class of control technology for electric powertrains. Exro’s advanced motor control technology, their “Coil Driver”, expands the capabilities of electric motors and powertrains. The Coil Driver enables two separate torque profiles within a given motor. The first is calibrated for low speed and high torque, while the second provides expanded operation at high speed. The ability to change configuration allows efficiency optimization for each operating mode, resulting in overall reductions in energy consumption. The controller automatically and seamlessly selects the appropriate configuration in real-time so that torque demand and efficiency are optimized.
The limitations of traditional electric machines and power technology are becoming more evident. In many increasingly prominent applications, traditional methods cannot meet the required performance. This means either oversizing the equipment, adding additional motors, or implementing heavy mechanical geared solutions. Exro offers a new solution for system optimization through implementation of its technology which can yield the following results: increased drive cycle efficiency, reduced system volume, reduced weight, expanded torque and speed capabilities. Exro allows the application to achieve more with less energy consumed.

Current approval processes for medical treatments generally start with a formulation of elements. The objective of any clinical study is to ensure efficacy, and safety, within a fixed sampling size. However as cannabis is a plant, and each plant is unique, the challenges have been in ensuring that each gram tested would provide a consistent result. In response to these challenges, GCAC has developed a patent-pending data model called, Seed to Seed.
GCAC's approach is to measure an individual’s unique treatment experience on a per dosage basis. By digitally measuring both the biometric & anecdotal feedback and comparing that to others using the same or similar products on a large scale, GCAC can provide an averaged efficacy rating for the treatment used. This is accomplished through a proprietary system of mobile applications, heart monitoring biometrics, Artificial Intelligence and machine learning. When integrated with blockchain seed to sale solutions, GCAC technology will be able to recommend “how to treat ailment X with product Y at a given point in time under a set of circumstances”. By securing this information on an EU GDPR complaint blockchain, their data outputs are comparable to results generated by a regulatory approval process.
