Collaboration over Adversarial Relations Introducing George Chmael II and Council Fire It is always great to work in a collaborative environment but sometimes there is a belief that such environments cannot be achieved.

Today’s guest believes that more often than not and even in contested situations there is still a way to

Cooperative Banking Reintroducing Richard Vaillancourt and Omista No customer likes to be treated like a number, but no doubt you have experienced a lack of personal service if you have a relationship with many large organizations. It is impersonal with low interaction, often you are left on hold for a number of minutes if you called in, and sometimes the experience is down right unfriendly. If the previous examples sound familiar and it relates to your bank, perhaps you should give a credit

Get Moving Introducing Matt Forgie and Forfitness & Athletics Most of us have had that ache in the lower back and many come to the realization that it is probably time to see the chiropractor for a “crack”.

Change in Tempo Introducing Dylan Berry and Smash Haus Music Group One of the industries that have changed quite a bit over the last few decades is the music industry. No longer do we wait in lines at the local record store because for the most part all of these stores have disappeared.

Local First Introducing Jayne DeMerchant & Scott Williams and Taylor Printing We have all heard the expression, “buy local.” Many of us make the effort to go local and it often means a better quality product and sometimes means a few extra dollars. However, beyond a few buying decisions how can we encourage local collaboration amongst businesses and a real “union” of local purchasing? This week’s guests, Scott Williams and Jayne DeMerchant came up with a unique way to encourage business to
