Episode 10 of Canada's Number One Business-Comedy Podcast is back with Dallas Price of Forum Ventures.

Dallas and Pip and Shubh team up to pitch Corporate Espionage As A Service...the guys find a way to bring this idea out of the moral grey zone to a place they can feel good about, Benevolent CeAAS.

Also, in his first full recording since being named non-guest co-host, Philippe has to duck out early so Shubh takes advantage of Dallas' expertise operating a venture studio to get his opinions on previous ideas being pitched.

Pip also continues his one man crusage to rebrand Winnipeg as Las Pegas.

---------------------------------------------------------
- The inspiration for Dallas' pitch was a very famous (at least in tech circles) botched corporate espionage attempt between Deal and Rippling - you can read about it here
- And don't forget to check out Jenny Wiens and the New Network!

Episode 9 of Canada's Number One Business-Comedy Podcast just dropped. Have you ever wondered what would happen when podcast guest went live on IG while they were appearing on someone else's podcast? Wonder no more!

Joanna and Melissa from Taste the City, one of Canada's hottest startups and fresh off a Dragons' Den join Pip and Shubh.

They pitch a women's only condo called HER and a reality show called Reinventing HER. And also they help provide a connect so Pip's Lips can get actually made.

Shubh likes the condo idea so much he thinks once it's built he will buy ones for his daughters.

Philippe looks to expand Taste the City's success to his hometown of Winnipeg, and takes it a step further pitching the Peg as Canada's answer to Las Vegas.

Also will Producer Chaz get to Taco Bell on time? Tune in to find out.

Rachel throws a rapid fire pitch into the mix with Dog-gevity.

The guys also talk the new Star Search (the worst talent show ever made), real actual Pip's Lips are on their way to Phil's house, and Producer Chaz is all grown up.
