Struggling to keep up with best practices in business? Join us on Founder Fridays and take a deep dive into key takeaways from many authors!

These fireside chats dig right into key concepts from the book, page numbers to reference back to, and a chance to get a copy of their book for free if you are currently living in Canada.

On the first Friday of October and November of 2025, as well as February through May 2026, from 12-1pm MST, Brandy Old and Craig Elias host a live fireside chat with a featured author. Every session gets recorded and sent out to all registrants.

Want to catch up on previous chats? Hit the "FIRESIDE CHAT" link in the Past Sessions section below or on FounderFridays.ca.

Founder Fridays is more than a series-it's a launchpad for Alberta's founders, mentors, investors, and ecosystem builders. It's about upskilling, building connections, and accelerating startups through every stage. Powered by Alberta's Regional Innovation Network and Alberta Innovates, Founder Fridays expects to welcome guest speakers from across Alberta.
