Albert Laurin

Albert Laurin is the founder of Betweenplays Media, an independent capital-markets intelligence and media platform established in March 2020. As lead author and host, he produces long-form analysis and conducts direct, unscripted executive conversations across markets, technology, real estate, and geopolitics. Laurin’s background spans accounting, management, marketing, and policing. He trained in Police Technology at John Abbott College, where he was recognized for academic performance and leadership, and was subsequently selected for the Quebec National Police Academy in Nicolet. There, he was nominated across all three categories of excellence—an uncommon distinction—while also drawing early recruitment interest from supervising officers. Shaped by years of personal experience, mentorship, and disciplined training, Laurin’s approach combines analytical structure with a grounded understanding of how incentives, pressures, and human behavior often shape outcomes in both markets and public life. Betweenplays maintains strict editorial independence, ensuring that its interviews and coverage remain free from external influence or sponsor-driven direction. In parallel with his media work, Laurin is a real estate broker in the Greater Montreal area, applying the same analytical rigor to real-world economic decisions and asset positioning.
