Welcome to the Voice of Retail for the week of September 30, 2019 I’m your host Michael LeBlanc, and this podcast is brought to you in conjunction with Retail Council of Canada. In this week’s episode an exclusive interview with Vince Guzzo, Montreal-based CBC Dragon, entrepreneur and philanthropist. In a fun and wide ranging interview we talk about the retail and consumer environment in Quebec, his experiences during the taping of his second season of Dragons Den, how the deals he’s seeing this year are different, how he determines whether he is "In" or "Out" (and with who!) and the end of Netflix. Next I swing over to the west coast and catch up with Greg Wilson, Retail Council of Canada’s BC Director of Government Relations. We discuss the key issues for retailers based in, or operating in, British Columbia.
