Episode #14 10 Years of MPI

Shiftdisturbers

This episode celebrates MPI's 10th anniversary and features a sit-down conversation with Institute director Roger Martin and Director of Cities Richard Florida. In the mid-2000s, Joseph Rotman came to then dean Roger Martin, offering Roger the financial support needed to build his own think tank. Excited by the opportunity, Roger immediately called up Richard Florida, someone he’d wanted to work with for some time. Forces beyond his control had stymied Roger’s attempts to bring Richard to Toronto in the early 2000s. But, with this new opportunity, Richard was once again top-of-mind. Music featured in this episode: "The Window" and "Woop Groove" by Podinton Bear; "Steppin" by Wake.
