Hi, I’m Pablo.

I started Talks Over Draft with a simple belief: some of the most interesting ideas in the world shouldn’t stay inside lecture halls.

A lot of the research happening in Canada shapes how we live every day—how we move through cities, make sense of music, write, build, and connect. I wanted to create a space where more people could be part of those conversations without needing an academic background or an invitation into a classroom.

Talks Over Draft brings professors, researchers, and curious people together in breweries and pubs across Hamilton and Toronto. It is thoughtful, but never intimidating: grab a drink, meet someone new, hear a big idea, and take part in a real conversation.

I’m building TOD one talk at a time, with the hope that people leave feeling a little more curious about the world—and a little more connected to the people in it.

Glad you’re here.
