    Following the Money: How Private Equity Shapes Canada’s Economy and Your Daily Choices
    Serenity Now For Entrepreneurs

In long-term care homes owned by private equity firms, there’s a 50% increased likelihood of patient sedation alongside higher mortality rates and costs. Yikes!
This eye-opening episode of Serenity Now for Entrepreneurs features Rachel Wasserman, whose background in law, investment banking, and M&A gives her unique insight into how private equity operates and impacts our communities.
What makes this conversation essential listening:
  • Learn how PE firms use leveraged buyouts that saddle businesses with crushing debt
  •  Discover which industries are being rapidly consolidated (dental practices, vet clinics, daycares, and more)
  • Understand how your Canadian pension funds are heavily invested in PE firms
  • Explore alternatives like Employee Ownership Trusts for business owners considering exits
As Rachel points out: “Who owns our companies, who owns our economic engines matters for our country, for our economy.” Who owns the businesses you are spending your money with?
Entrepreneurs, consumers, and professionals —this affects us all. Awareness is the first step toward better choices.
