Founders Music Lab (FML)
Podcast Description
Founders Music Lab is the podcast born out of our own startup journey to build a live music space and startup incubator in Waterloo, Ontario. It is a space that supports professional and emerging musicians along with early stage startups.
Hosted by founders Bill, Steve, and Ed, each episode features a surprise guest. It could be a founder, artist, entrepreneur, educator, or first follower who is helping shape creative culture from the ground up. We talk about the parallel paths of artists and startups, the hustle, the self doubt, the breakthroughs, and what it really takes to launch something new.
Our project is about more than just great performances and pitch decks. We offer programs for people who want to connect or reconnect with music, explore their creativity, or find others doing the same. Whether you're getting back into singing after years away or trying something new for the first time, there is a place for you here. The same goes for aspiring founders who want to test an idea, grow a project, or find support among peers on a similar path.
This space is for the entire community. Whether you are a fan of live music, curious about innovation, or just looking for a good night out, you are part of what makes this work. Every great scene needs an audience. Every bold idea needs a place to land.

You likely don’t know who Barry Daniels is. Unless you were in one of
his choirs or musical productions, you would think he was just a regular
guy. A common theme I find in the interviews we do is that the people
who make the greatest impact on people’s lives have no clue they are
doing it. They also don’t think they are that good. Barry is one of
those guys. He’s singing’s unsung hero. A man who challenged others,
who gave them opportunities and who made it hard to quit. Barry follows
his own drummer, like most of us founders and musicians, and his life
story is an excellent example of someone who has found his life.
