Mike Carbone is one of North America’s most sought after corporate event hosts.  After years of entertaining audiences in comedy clubs, he found his way to the corporate stage.  His “The Pretty Late Show with Mike Carbone” has become extremely popular with meeting planners and event producers. The popularity of this familiar format spawned other variations like the “CNN: Conference News Network” and “Live & Interactive”.  Mike has travelled the world, hosting events for Fortune 500 companies in just about every industry sector.  During the past year Mike has taken his talk show and event hosting online. He hopes to be back on stage in front of a live audience soon but for now we’re the ones asking the questions!

Terry McRae is a damage insurance broker and Vice President, Senior Client Executive, Sport & Entertainment at BFL Canada. Terry’s original career choice was to be a record producer.  Like most of us, our first choices are not necessarily the ones that stick.  He later decided to follow his uncle and started working in the insurance business.  Terry then realized that he could combine his love for music with insurance by focusing his practice on commercial insurance in the music industry.  The rest is history.  He would soon be writing policies for many of Canada’s major recording artists, studios, production companies, the Montreal Jazz Festival and the Juno Awards (Canada’s Grammy Awards).  The firm Terry works for, BFL Canada, has a long list of clients in the live event business including the world’s biggest cirque company. Have a listen, we "insure" you this episode will be fantastic!
