In this episode, Dr. Wing Lim talks with legendary emergency physician, Professor, and Order of Canada recipient Dr. Louis Francescutti for another episode of the Medical Entrepreneurship Series. They explore the realities of modern medicine, how AI is set to reshape emergency care, and the path from frustration to real, community-changing action. Dr. Francescutti is the founder and champion of the Bridge Healing initiative that offers transitional housing from emergency care to stable, supportive homes, and he draws from his own advocacy and innovation for the valuable advice he shares.

Dr. Francescutti shares practical advice for physicians who want to lead change, and he tells Dr. Lim that waiting for grants is not the only way. Fundraising is simpler than most physicians think due to the trust and influence physicians have in their communities. He offers real ideas on how to seek monetary support for innovative care ideas. Dr. Francescutti and Dr. Lim also discuss the emotional challenges facing physicians today: how burnout and moral injury are common. He focuses on grounding in gratitude, practicing emotional intelligence, and modeling positive culture for trainees. This episode inspires physicians on ways to lead community impact projects and make a real difference in their world.

About Dr. Louis Francescutti:

An emergency and preventive medicine physician, a university professor, an international speaker, Past-President of the Canadian Medical Association, and Past-President of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, Dr. Francescutti has spent nearly three decades advocating one message: Live Smart. Reputed as one of Canada's leading medical visionaries and regarded internationally for his 'down to earth' and 'bold' methodologies, Lou is not intimidated by political correctness, nor is he afraid to tell it like it is. "People need to hear what the real issues are--no sugar coating. We live in a world that is far too complex and unforgiving. People need to learn that they are in control of their future and fortune--both in terms of health and happiness".

Dr. Wing Lim talks with Nicolas Johnson about the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC) and flow-through share investments in Canada. Nicolas has had an international career ranging from journalism for Bloomberg News in Paris and Tokyo to working with a Canadian investment fund focused on resource exploration. He explains to Wing why the government established the Flow-Through Share Program to encourage private investment in exploration for critical minerals like copper, nickel, lithium, and uranium, all of which are essential for the low-carbon economy, AI, electric vehicles, and more.

Tax benefits of investment in resource exploration include a 100% income deduction for the invested amount, a 30% Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit on eligible investments, as well as potential returns from high-performing exploration companies. Though it’s high risk due to the speculative nature of mining startups, for incorporated professionals and high-income earners, flow-through shares can be a valuable year-end tax planning tool. Nicolas advises investors to understand the risks, eligibility requirements, and importance of professional fund management but also highlights the patriotic and economic significance of investing in Canadian critical mineral projects.

About Nicolas Johnson:

Nicolas joined Accilent Capital Management in late 2024 to expand support for financial advisors offering the Pavilion Flow-Through Fund. Pavilion aims for capital appreciation and significant tax benefits in the context of the Canadian government’s Flow-Through Share program. He previously worked 15 years in financial services, including more than a decade as a reporter and editor at Bloomberg News in Europe and Asia, followed by a stint as an investment reporter at The Globe and Mail in Toronto.

Nicolas has also worked in advocacy, policy analysis, and strategic communication and trained as a coach. He is a big advocate for personal empowerment, responsibility, and liberty.
