March 17, 2021 - David Knight Legg, Dr. Alex Wong, ”Disruptor Conductor” Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser

As CEO of Invest Alberta, David Knight Legg's job is to attract investment to the province. Formerly Premier Jason Kenney's principal secretary, he's now tasked with finding ways to boost energy, agriculture, tourism, tech, and other sectors. He joins Ryan off the top of the show to explain what hasn't worked in past, and what he thinks will work now. Dr. Alexander Wong is an infectious disease specialist in one of Canada's hardest-hit COVID-19 regions: the province of Saskatchewan. He stays into overtime to discuss new variants, vaccine hesitancy, concerns around the Oxford AstraZeneca shot, social justice through a pandemic lens, and more. One of the first black, openly gay orchestral conductors in the world, Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser is used to being one of the "others". The star of the documentary Disruptor Conductor joins Ryan (his childhood friend!) for an entertaining, enlightening, powerful exploration of the power of music, and how he's ultimately changing lives.
