Solarnity started in 2017 when the founder, Allen Wazny, took a deep dive into emerging technologies. What initially began with a focus on two blockchain project (one focused on supply chain; one on fixed income lending) soon shifted to investor relations advisory work for startups having both a technical focus and non-technical focus. In parallel, a podcast was started called “Will You Review My CV?” to complement the informal career advice being provided to job seekers on LinkedIn. After relocating to Calgary in the summer of 2019, Allen started the Calgary Business Podcast in September 2019 to understand the issues Calgary entrepreneurs, business owners, educators, students, civic officials and other influencers feel are important in today’s market. In September 2020, Allen began mentoring an MBA student from the Haskayne School of Business and after several mentoring sessions, Allen initiated a series of Q&A podcast sessions that brings together a trio of students from the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary and an industry expert from the Calgary and surrounding business community.
