Make Sense of This with Allyson Watson
Podcast Description
Hi, I’m Allyson Watson, Investment Advisor at Richardson Wealth, and your host for Make Sense of This - a podcast about unpacking complex ideas through real conversations with people who bring experience, insight, and perspective to the table.
After more than a decade working on Bay Street, I’ve had the chance to connect with some incredibly thoughtful people -leaders, researchers, and entrepreneurs who are shaping their fields and thinking deeply about the world around them.
In each episode, I sit down with someone from that network to break down big ideas - on leadership, business, and decision-making - in a way that feels clear, useful, and grounded in the real world.
Whether you're leading a company, growing your career, or thinking more intentionally about how you invest your time and capital - you're in the right place.
Thanks for being here, I hope you enjoy the conversation!

Today, we are joined by Tim Houston, Premier of Nova Scotia, who has been at the forefront of shaping the province’s economic, healthcare, and policy agenda since taking office in 2021. As Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia, he brings a clear perspective on how the province can strengthen its position in a changing global economy.
In this episode, we examine the impact of newly imposed tariffs, explore how trade barriers affect growth and opportunity, and discuss opportunities that could drive meaningful GDP growth. The discussion makes clear that with the right strategy and collective will, barriers can become the very foundation of a stronger, more resilient economy.
Join us for a conversation that’s thoughtful, timely, and full of perspective on where we go from here.
