TORONTO, June 25, 2020 /CNW/ - BMO has today introduced a
new podcast dedicated to Canadian businesses. The podcast –
Business Unplanned – will provide business owners with
expert opinions and advice on business resiliency and adaptability
during this uncertain time. This announcement builds off of the
bank's recently introduced online resource hub and will provide
Canadian businesses with an additional resource to help their
long-term growth.
"We are helping thousands of businesses across geographies and
sectors every week and are constantly looking for opportunities to
do more," said Erminia (Ernie)
Johannson, Group Head, North American Personal and Business
Banking, BMO Financial Group. "In conversations with our clients,
we heard how important and beneficial it is for them to have a
community where they can learn from each other. We have now created
an additional resource where businesses can come together and learn
from entrepreneurs and business owners and apply best practices to
their own businesses."
Business Unplanned will feature six episodes and be
available on bmo.com/BusinessUnplanned as well as on Apple

He will lead listeners on a journey as they dive into stories from
leading entrepreneurs and small business owners.
"More than ever before, leaders need to come together to help
both small businesses and the wider business community overcome the
challenges of this pandemic," said Mr. Hyatt. "Joining BMO as the
host of Business Unplanned is a way to do that and provides an
outlet where business owners can relate to what we are sharing and
take away actionable advice for their business."
