\"LunchBox-DavidAlston\"<\/a>Some people just go hunting for trouble<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They can’t help it! They love the puzzle of a difficult task, the challenge of the thing everyone tells them is impossible, the struggle of scaling a daunting wall of possibility, the elation of reaching the pinnacle or the satisfaction from learning something new on failure.<\/p>\n

I’m talking about entrepreneurs<\/em>, that special breed of business person who loves to troubleshoot and build, combining savvy, intelligence, creativity, team-building and good timing to make things.<\/p>\n

My guest today has been recognized as one of the best in the region. David Alston is currently the Chief Innovation Officer<\/strong><\/a> at Introhive<\/strong><\/a>, and recently was awarded one of two Startup Canada Awards for the NB Region<\/strong><\/a>. We talked about what it really means to be an entrepreneur, how he started as one of many and became the one in the lead, and opportunities to pursue it as a career.<\/p>\n
