## Resource

This is a bumper episode where we bring you 4 guests that share the privilege of working for an awesome agency called Mosaic. And while yes, Mosaic did pay me to speak at their team offsite at a Cineplex earlier in the year, that's not why we're making this podcast. We're doing it because I loved what they did after I spoke. Several people from the team were invited to share what they do with their passions in their 5-9 hours, i.e. outside of work. You're going to hear from Mo, who has a much sunnier disposition on Toronto than I. We'll even get into a bit of an agreeable disagreement. Where we do see eye to eye is we need more of a mindset for hospitality in urbanism. Then you're hear from Laura who will share her story of arriving in Canada, finding a great job at Mosaic and the connections required to make it real. She now pays it back too, solving a massive challenge in Canada as many people not from here need better opportunities. And lastly, we'll get into it with Nick who has created one of the coolest independent culture spaces in the city. As possible the world's most eclectic urbanism podcast, this is a properly eclectic episode!
