Meet the Hosts
Dario Nouri and Kyrill Lazarov are the co-founders of Lapse Productions, a Toronto-based video production company working across corporate, commercial, and branded content.
Between them, they’ve spent over a decade building creative businesses, working with clients across industries, and navigating the same challenges discussed on the show.
