    Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1593 - Iran, Strategy, and the Missing Political Objective with Eric Sauve
    Mar 23 2026
    On The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian is joined by Eric Sauvé to examine the escalating conflict involving Iran — and the deeper question of whether military action is being matched with clear political strategy.
    ⚖️ Part 1 — Tactical Success, Strategic Ambiguity
    We explore how early strikes were described as operationally effective, yet raise concerns about the absence of a clearly defined political end state — a core principle in military strategy.
    🌍 Part 2 — Predictable Escalation Risks
    From potential disruption in the Strait of Hormuz to asymmetric retaliation, we examine responses that are widely anticipated in military planning — and whether they were fully accounted for.
    🛢 Part 3 — Global Energy Risk
    The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints, where even limited disruption could have global economic consequences.
    ♟ Part 4 — Geopolitical Chessboard
    We discuss broader strategic dynamics involving the U.S., Iran, Israel, and Russia, and how energy markets and influence intersect in modern conflict.
    🧭 Part 5 — What Comes Next?
    With escalation risks rising, we explore whether the current approach aligns with long-term objectives — or whether alternative strategies are needed to avoid prolonged instability.

    🔎 The Big Question
    If war must serve political goals, what exactly is the objective — and what happens when that objective is unclear?

    Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1591 - Energy, Sovereignty, and Canada’s Path to Becoming a Global Energy Power with Lisa Baiton
    Mar 20 2026
    On The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian is joined by Lisa Baiton to examine Canada’s role in a rapidly changing global energy landscape.

    🌍 Part 1 — Energy in a New Global Order
    We explore how geopolitical instability and shifting alliances are reshaping global energy markets, and why energy security has returned as a central pillar of national strategy.
    🇨🇦 Part 2 — Canada’s Energy Position
    Canada is a major oil and gas producer with record output and major infrastructure projects — but limited export capacity continues to constrain growth.
    ⚠️ Part 3 — Overreliance on the United States
    With the vast majority of exports going to the U.S., we discuss the urgency of diversifying energy markets to Europe and Asia and strengthening long-term economic sovereignty.
    🛢 Part 4 — Strategic Energy Security
    We explore the surprising absence of a Canadian strategic oil reserve and what energy security could look like in a modern geopolitical context.
    🏗 Part 5 — Nation-Building Through Energy
    Energy projects are more than industry — they are nation-building. We discuss infrastructure, investment certainty, and Canada’s potential to become a true global energy power.

    🔎 The Big Question
    Canada has the resources. The question is whether it has the will to build the infrastructure and policy framework to fully realize its energy potential.

    Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1592 - In the Age of AI, the Most Valuable Skill Might Surprise You: Sales with Andrew Hendry
    Mar 19 2026
    On The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian is joined by Andrew Hendry to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the workforce — and why the most important career skill may still be deeply human.

    📞 Part 1 — The Return to Human Skills
    As automation accelerates, Andrew argues that foundational “old-school” skills are making a comeback:
    • Cold calling
    • Networking
    • In-person communication
    • Relationship building
    In a digital world, human connection is becoming a competitive advantage.

    🤖 Part 2 — AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement
    We discuss AI’s strengths — and its limits — including why even the most advanced systems still struggle to replace trust, nuance, and real human conversation.

    💼 Part 3 — Why Sales Is a Core Life Skill
    Sales is no longer just a profession — it’s a foundational skill for every career. We explore how communication, confidence, and persuasion shape success in business, entrepreneurship, and leadership.

    📘 Part 4 — “Be First” and the Entrepreneurial Mindset
    Andrew’s book Be First: Outsell Everyone highlights practical strategies for building trust, creating opportunity, and winning in competitive markets.

    🔎 The Big Question
    As AI transforms work and communication, will success belong to those who automate — or those who master human connection and trust?
