Each episode, hosted by John Stackhouse, SVP, Office of the CEO at Royal Bank of Canada—and former Editor-in-Chief of The Globe and Mail—cuts through the hype and focuses on what you need to know. This season, we’re leaning into urgency: the global economy is shifting, geopolitics are noisy, and Canada needs to respond. You’ll hear from founders, investors, scientists, operators, and policy leaders at the forefront. Listen for a clearer understanding of the tech and innovation shaping Canada and the world—and practical insights to help you make sense of what’s coming next.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-08T16:21:31.789249+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/disruptors-897695"},"episode":{"title":"From Ottawa to Orbit: Two Views on Canada’s Big Day","slug":"from-ottawa-to-orbit-two-views-on-canada-s-big-day","published_at":"2026-07-07T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/disruptors-897695/from-ottawa-to-orbit-two-views-on-canada-s-big-day","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/disruptors-897695","url":"https://thoughtleadership.rbc.com/rbc-disruptors/","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/1313/p.podderapp.com/4376325916/pscrb.fm/rss/p/afp-933978-injected.calisto.simplecastaudio.com/3de6e51a-73da-4b83-96b0-d93c1141855f/episodes/077ef307-33f8-4c03-a8ec-0c702caaa768/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=3de6e51a-73da-4b83-96b0-d93c1141855f&awEpisodeId=077ef307-33f8-4c03-a8ec-0c702caaa768&feed=aWlX_ddg","summary":"Season 10 of Disruptors asked one question, in a lot of different ways: does Canada have what it takes—the tools, the ambition and the will—to compete in the economy being built right now? For the season finale, John Stackhouse took that question to the RBC and Eurasia Group US-Canada Summit, where 500 leaders spent a day debating the most important economic relationship in the world. He came back with two conversations that, together, amount to an answer. Colonel Jeremy Hansen, the first Canadian to travel into deep space, talks about what you see from the Moon, what it taught him about collaboration and self-reliance, and why the Canada-U.S. relationship is worth fighting for. Michael Sabia, Clerk of the Privy Council, discusses the hand Canada holds right now and why this is a moment for ambition, not anxiety. Recorded live. A fitting close to a season built around urgency.","meta_description":"Season 10 of Disruptors asked one question, in a lot of different ways: does Canada have what it takes—the tools, the ambition and the will—to compete in…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1405,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/disruptors-897695/episodes/from-ottawa-to-orbit-two-views-on-canada-s-big-day/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/disruptors-897695/from-ottawa-to-orbit-two-views-on-canada-s-big-day.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
