🎉 We are almost 20 episodes old! 🆕 Let me 🎉 We are almost 20 episodes old! 

🆕 Let me start at the beginning. A few months ago, we launched The AmberMac Show on SiriusXM and wherever you get your podcasts (link in bio☝️).

Why?

📣 I wanted to do a show beyond just tech, a weekly place where we can discuss everything from AI to politics, social media to sustainability, productivity to purpose, and everything in between. Plus, I'm always game to bring a woman's perspective to the world of tech (we are a small minority in podcast land). 

🇨🇦 Yes, tech is at the centre of what we do, but this show is also a Canadian perspective on the world of tech. Plus, there is no better person to co-host this show with me than my older brother who opened my eyes to all things tech at a very young age. 

This weekend, we would love to hear what you think of the show. Even better, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SiriusXM, YouTube, or wherever you listen and watch.

🇨🇦 Plus, we are doing a Canada Day special on July 1st - celebrating Canadian tech and innovation.

👨‍💻 In fact, just today, Musk apologized for some of his posts about his former friend and colleague in the White House. 

🤦‍♀️ Can you imagine Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton behaving like this? Absolutely not. In other words, it's fair to say that women in power are often held to a higher standard.

Thank you @ciradotca for inviting me to speak alongside @coltinhandrahan and @upei, and so excited so many friends and family came out @lansphotography @dinomacmasonry @legitimatty @gerry_foote @wenfoote.
