Rob Warburton, co-founder of CloudWorks real estate investment company and one of the most civically engaged people I know, boards the Scandimaniac. Generally, the theme of this podcast is Yellowknife life, and people's personal stories, but in typical fashion me and Rob delved into politics, housing, business plans and our usual rants about what our governments could be doing better. Actually quite happy with the way this episode turned out and CloudWorks is an example to business owners everywhere on how to be a leader in the community.
