On the season finale of the Sell Me This Podcast, host Keith Daser talks with Ian Macdonald, Business and Innovation Leader at KPMG Canada. In this wide-ranging conversation, they explore the intersection of innovation, risk, and why Calgary is emerging as one of Canada’s most dynamic tech hubs.
Ian shares why he believes imagination and curiosity are often overlooked in business, and how those traits have shaped his approach to leadership and strategy. He also discusses KPMG’s long-term commitment to the startup ecosystem, and why offering real support without an immediate sales agenda has built lasting credibility.
It’s a thoughtful look at how large enterprises can fuel meaningful innovation and what it takes to build trust in fast-changing markets. A strong close to the season with insights from one of the country’s top innovation voices.
