W e hope all our readers, features and advertisers had time to enjoy the Canada Day and Independence Day holidays with friends and family. Many have told us that they use this time to reflect on the first part of the year, celebrate accomplishments and set new goals and targets for the remainder of 2018. I thought that was a great idea, so we wanted to look back at some of our great features from previous issues to move forward with more amazing stories about Business, Industry, Innovation and Health in the coming issues. It was not to long ago that we spoke with Jonathan David Blum former YUM! Brands Chief Public Affairs Officer, Senior Vice President and Vice President of Public Affairs now Founder and Owner of Bad Martha Beer from his Bad Martha Farmer’s Brewery in Edgartown, Massachusetts on Martha’s Vineyard. Blum trav- elled all around the globe with YUM! Brands and always asked for the local beer, no matter where he was, so when he heard of a brew pub for sale on Martha’s Vineyard, Blum’s passion became a flowing business. When we spoke with Darrell Jennings, Roger Horneff and John Farrell, Co-own- ers of American Music Furniture, we learned first-hand how a guitar tragedy for Jennings started a meaningful dialogue and lead to an innovative new brand called American Music Furniture. In 2011, Brooke Crowell was at a crossroad. He was well-into a physically demand- ing career and wanted a job that was more in-line with his age that would still pay the bills. Speaking with Crowell, we learned how after a year of introspection and research lead to a backyard business and how Timberlea Tire has become a leader in their market organically.
of Communications for the CityFolk and learn how the festival has come a long way and also celebrated 25 years since its original incarnation as the Ottawa Folk Festival was launched back in 1994 offering an end of the summer music event for everyone in Canada’s capital city. We hope you enjoy the issue and we would like to thank all those involved in putting this month’s issue together along with our readers as we look forward to telling more stories about successful businesses and the people behind the scenes making it happen.
