Restrictions are being LIFTED! w/ Kris Versteeg

This week we are joined by 2-time Stanley Cup Champion Kris Versteeg to talk how he and his co-founders got their new business Klevr off the ground, and challenges they’ve faced. We also chat a little bit of hockey, but also A LOT of what has gone on in our country the past 2 years and his view point on restrictions being lifted across Canada.
