About the show

Canada builds world-class cures and companies, then consistently loses them. Breaking Innovation Paralysis investigates why, through candid conversations with the founders, scientists, and policymakers living this reality every day. Host Natalie Yeadon, a former clinician, pharmaceutical executive, and tech entrepreneur who built and exited a global Canadian company, traces the problem to three forces: inertia, risk aversion, and diffusion of responsibility.
