NEW - The Debate Canada Needs to Have and Keeps Not Having

NEW - Darkness for days: What Will You Find at a Cave Retreat?

If you've ever wondered what you'd actually find if you stopped running from yourself, a darkness retreat is the most direct answer available. No light. No sound. No scroll. No signal that you're doing it right. Just you, and whatever you've been carrying without knowing it. Scott Berman has guided over seven hundred people through exactly that at Sky Cave Retreats in southern Oregon. The nervous system flags it as a threat. The habits surface anyway. What people find on the other side of that is what this conversation is about. If you've ever caught yourself reaching for your phone and not known why, this one is worth your time.

NEW: AI Will Answer Anything. Nobody Is Teaching You What to Ask

The middleman is gone. The manager who mentored the new hire, the salesperson with the Rolodex, the person who connected the question to the right answer. That role has been cut from business, from retail, and now from the conversation about AI. The problem is not that AI gives wrong answers. The problem is that the answer is only as good as the question, and nobody is teaching people how to ask. At work, managers are telling staff to figure it out. At home, parents are expected to guide kids through tools the parents have never been trained on. The government is spending heavily on AI adoption with no policing infrastructure and no teaching layer behind it. Shadow AI is already happening in workplaces. People using it when they are not supposed to, because the gap exists and humans fill gaps. That is what happens when oversight is absent and nobody is minding the answer.

ICYMI - Trump Keeps Losing in Court. The Forced Labour Tariff Is the Workaround

Trump has faced legal setbacks on tariffs. Forced labour as a justification for new trade measures has never appeared before in Canada-US negotiations. Andrew Caddell says it is a backdoor: a way to keep pressure on Canada and limit trade with China while bypassing the courts that have blocked previous moves. The CUSMA review is approaching and Canada's strategy is to protect as much of the agreement as possible to contain the damage. Caddell notes that during the 1988 free trade debate he warned that an American administration could change the rules overnight. It turned out not to be Congress that did it. Canada's deficit also doubled last year according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer. Military spending and infrastructure commitments will add more. The question is whether this government will actually spend what it has budgeted, or repeat the pattern of the last decade.

Most Jobs Are Filled Before They're Posted. Here's What to Do About It

AI can draft a resume. It can help translate one career into the language of another. What it cannot do, according to career development leader Candy Ho, is connect the dots of a life and help someone talk about themselves effectively in a room with another human being. The more overlooked problem is on the employer side. A rejected candidate who impressed the hiring team represents an open door most companies never walk through. Candy Ho says internal career centres within organizations are an emerging answer, and CERIC has recently published research on exactly that. The hidden job market is still real. Candy Ho's last three clients did not apply online. They conducted information interviews, showed up at networking events, updated their LinkedIn profiles, and were top of mind when positions opened. The long game is still the game. Topics: AI career coaching, hidden job market, career development, employer candidate relations, networking GUEST: Candy Ho Originally aired on 2026-06-05
