    Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1621 - The Illusion of Unicorns: Angel Investing and the Psychology of Losing Money
    May 1 2026
    Everyone dreams of backing the next billion-dollar startup—the unicorn that changes everything. But what if that dream is more illusion than reality?
    On this episode of The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian sits down with angel investor and author Henry Fiorillo for a candid, unfiltered conversation about what really happens in early-stage investing. Drawing from experience with over 80 startup investments, Henry reveals a hard truth: most of them fail—and that’s part of the strategy.
    This episode dives into the realities, risks, and psychology behind angel investing. From why a handful of winners must carry an entire portfolio, to the cognitive biases that lead even smart investors astray—FOMO, overconfidence, herd thinking, and more.
    But beyond the numbers and the noise, one insight stands above the rest: you’re not investing in an idea—you’re investing in a person. Brian and Henry explore what really matters when evaluating founders, the limits of due diligence, and why spotting red flags is both critical and incredibly difficult.
    If you’ve ever been tempted by a “can’t-miss” opportunity, this conversation offers a grounded, honest look at the fine art—and frequent pain—of losing money in pursuit of the next big win.
    Listen in for a reality check on risk, judgment, and the human side of investing.

    Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1620 - Why Smart Professionals Struggle in Business — and How to Break Through
    Apr 30 2026
    What if the very traits that made you successful are the same ones holding you back?
    On this episode of The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian sits down with Gary Mitchell—author of The AND Approach—to explore why highly intelligent, highly trained professionals often struggle to build great businesses.
    In Part 1, the conversation begins with a hard truth: expertise can become a constraint. Many professionals—especially in fields like law—are trained to minimize risk, perfect every detail, work independently, and control outcomes. While these traits drive individual success, they can quietly undermine business growth.
    Part 3 introduces The AND Approach—a framework built on the idea that you don’t have to choose between growth and control, or success and balance. By rewiring mindset first, building scalable systems, and developing teams early, professionals can create businesses that are not only successful—but sustainable and saleable.
    But this conversation goes beyond any one profession.
    It speaks to entrepreneurs, executives, and founders alike—anyone who has built success and now feels stuck inside it.
    Because at some point, what got you here won’t get you there.

    Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1619 - Global Shock and Canada’s Moment: Strategy in a Shifting World with Rick Anderson
    Apr 30 2026
    The world feels increasingly unstable—conflict in the Middle East, energy shocks, trade tensions, and shifting alliances.
    So where does Canada fit in?
    On this episode of The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian is joined by Rick Anderson—political strategist and one of Canada’s most insightful commentators—for a wide-ranging conversation on geopolitics, energy, and Canada’s evolving role as a middle power.
    In Part 1, the discussion begins with global conflict and economic reality, focusing on tensions involving Iran and their ripple effects. From inflation risks to energy disruptions, Rick outlines why the situation is serious—but stops short of predicting a global collapse. North America, he argues, may prove more resilient than expected.
    Part 2 turns to energy, where Canada’s strategic advantage comes into focus. As a major producer of oil, gas, and key resources like potash, Canada stands out as a stable and democratic supplier in a volatile world. In times of crisis, capacity matters—and Canada has it.
    In Part 3, the conversation explores Canada’s evolving global strategy under Prime Minister Mark Carney. The focus: diversifying trade, strengthening ties with Europe and other middle powers, and reducing overreliance on the United States—not replacing it, but building greater independence through broader alignment.
    Part 4 examines defense, trade, and the shifting global order. From NATO dynamics to military procurement and new opportunities in manufacturing—including electric vehicles—the world is rebalancing, and Canada is adapting in real time.
    Finally, in Part 5, the conversation turns inward to address Western alienation and national unity. Longstanding tensions over energy policy, infrastructure, and regional fairness are discussed alongside signs of progress through renewed economic focus and engagement.
    This episode asks a bigger question:
    In a world of rising instability and shifting alliances, can Canada balance independence with partnership—and stay united at home while competing on the global stage?
