Hello I’m Brady and does the world ever change quickly

Greetings

I’m a modern-day explorer, educator, innovator, humanist, and executive. I blend adventure, entrepreneurship, and deep thinking into everything I do, designing future opportunities at the intersection of what’s possible and what’s next. My passion lies in futurism and systems thinking, challenging conventional ideas about work, wealth, and human potential—while keeping people at the centre of it all.

For over three decades, I’ve been at the leading (and sometimes bleeding) edge of innovation—from developing the first software to send email to wireless devices in the early ’90s, to founding one of Canada’s first digital ad agencies, to developing marketing strategies for some of the biggest brands on earth, to exploring new frontiers in AI, aviation, sustainability, and human potential.

What I do

  • I design solutions, frameworks, and systems
  • I explore ideas, places, and frontiers
  • I educate by translating insight into action
  • I instigate change, challenge norms, and push people to see what they might be missing

I’ve designed ventures that push the limits of what’s possible—from drone-based carbon sequestration to industrial-scale insect protein production. I’ve worn many hats—CEO, CSO, EVP, SVP, professor, pilot, explorer—and through all of this, I’ve learned that the future belongs to those who create it.

I’ve had spectacular wins and failures, traveled to the ends of the earth, and I still can’t resist moving the ball forward.

Brady

I’ve seen enough, done enough and broken enough to know what works and what does not.
