About this listen

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! - All material has been prepared by the Watson Investment Partners.
