Financial services

In 2012, Aviva put together a think tank to imagine ways to redefine prosperity and revolutionise financial services. It was called the Future Prosperity panel, and I was a member.

My idea was to use gaming to spur people to save more – you can find a clip (title: Gaming Finance (In A Good Way)) posted elsewhere on this site.

During our first meeting, though, the crew cornered each member of the panel for a quick take on the proceedings so far. It was like a hockey player being interviewed between the second and third periods. This is what I had to say in the heat of the moment.

Canadian TV on childhood

An interview I did on Canadian TV on Slow Childhood and Slow Parenting. It was over the Web, which is why I am wearing an earphone. I’m not listening to music at the same time!

In 2005, I gave a long interview about my book, Under Pressure, on morning TV in Canada. That means we talked about children, parenting, education, etc. This is Part 2 of the interview. Part 1 is a separate clip on the site.
