Adam Speigel works with the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). BDC has been helping Canadian entrepreneurs since the 1940s. In 2017 and 2018 BDC has helped sponsor specific LIFT Startups events. In April 2018 HPM talked to Adam about BDC, and about Adam Speigel. Tune in for Adam's comments about his failures and learnings, his scariest moments, what he'd do with $1M to support local entrepreneurs, and his favourite restaurants.
