Joining the show to discuss further is Gal Raz, an Associate Professor of Operations and Sustainability Management at Western University’s Ivey Business School. Shifting gears to local news, bike days have returned to NCC roadways, but with some controversial changes attached.

Pat Nicastro breaks down the secret ingredients to success.
