Fractional Leadership: When Your Business Needs It and How It Works with Nish Sampath

Doom Spending, Debt, and Delayed Gratification with Luticia Miller

Consumer debt is at record levels, financial literacy is rarely taught in schools, and algorithms are engineered to make people spend faster. Waylay Financial is trying to change that by bringing structured, employer-sponsored savings back to the workplace. Keith Daser sits down with Luticia Miller, founder of Waylay Financial and Chief Strategy Officer of Atmosphere Renewable Recycling, to talk about how employers can support employee financial wellness, what it takes to run multiple startups at once, and what it looks like to build a business in Calgary's growing entrepreneurship ecosystem. Listeners will learn how Waylay approaches financial literacy through payroll-based savings, gamification, and social goal-setting. The conversation also covers what it means to bet on yourself later in your career, why learning on someone else's dime early on pays dividends, and how concepts like delayed gratification and doom spending are shaping how younger generations think about money. Topics covered: Employer-sponsored savings programs and employee financial wellness Overcoming consumer debt and buy now pay later culture Teaching delayed gratification through structured savings tools Running multiple startups while balancing a full-time career Building a business in Calgary's startup ecosystem Indigenous economic empowerment and equity participation in major projects ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you believe you deserve more from your technology partnerships, connect with Deliver Digital: https://www.deliverdigital.ca/?utm_source=videodescription&utm_id=youtube Sell Me This Podcast features honest conversations with the founders, operators,  and executives navigating enterprise technology, managed services, AI adoption,  cybersecurity, digital transformation, and startup growth.

Strategic Risk Management and AI Integration in Enterprise Business with Zoe Harrison

Risk management and AI adoption have become the same conversation — and most organizations aren't ready for either. Zoe Harrison is working at that intersection every day.
