Telus Communications

It's now the Spin Evolution on CJSW ninety point nine FM on your radio dial, where you can also listen live and later at cjsw.com or CJSW app, Apple Podcasts.

Did you know you can also listen to us on televis- Telus Television, [lips smack] channel seven zero six five.

Thanks so much for tuning in to CJSW and the Spin Evolution.

And, uh, I just want to mention off the top, I'll probably mention it a couple of times throughout the show, that this very show, the Spin Evolution, is going to have a live broadcast next Wednesday at Establishment Brewing.

No, it's the exact opposite.

For some context, like you said, I founded the AI machine learning program at TELUS, so one of Canada's largest...

Telcos way back in 2017.

So almost a decade now.

It's not, you know, affluent people working at banks.

I mean, some people were, but, um, They're worried about, do I pay my Rogers bill or my Telus bill or Bell bill or whatever, or do I pay my hydro or electricity bill this month? Can I get groceries? How can I pay my rent? And they're so beaten down.

by how hard life has become on a daily basis.

And it was, it's just very disheartening to watch.

So there you go.

Okay.

Thanks to our sponsors for allowing us to bring this episode to you for free.

We're going to see you on the weekend with our extra episode.

BC, you can never leave.

I could do it through my parents' account to get those games.

I have TELUS.

My parents have Rogers, so I always jump on their Rogers every so often.

And if you're a Rogers subscriber, you get the Sportsnet Plus with it.

Whereas TELUS subscribers don't.

I...

I don't know where I fully come out on this streaming thing because it's like everyone praised or like celebrated cutting cable to go to streaming services.

It's not even that.

So for infrastructure in Canada right now, that top 500 list that I mentioned, our highest rank is 95th.

And that's by Telus.

They are, you know, it's Telus.

So they're industry.

They're not doing, they're not necessarily doing research.

Starbucks markets fun, right? Apple markets fun.

You look at other things like over here we have TELUS, which is our mobility service.

They market fun.

As long as you make this be fun and you hear what you're saying about that fun aspect, everything comes.

Yeah, it's an AI assistant that is going to help you.

For example, if you wanted to change your subscription at your service provider like TELUS or something like that and say, I want to add Disney Plus or I want to take away Netflix or something like that, or say your Rogers that you're wanting to change your mobility plan.

To go on there to try and weed your way through the maze of their website and get to the right place to make the change, it takes, for me, frequently, it's just so complicated that I just abandon it.

I just keep on just going with what I have.
