The Lunchbox Interview: David Alston, Entrepreneur

LunchBox-DavidAlstonSome people just go hunting for trouble.

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.

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

My guest today has been recognized as one of the best in the region. David Alston is currently the Chief Innovation Officer at Introhive, and recently was awarded one of two Startup Canada Awards for the NB Region. 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.

Music today:

  • I thought it was Lisa Leblanc telling me You Look Like Trouble (But I Guess I Do Too), but it was actually Lionsault front and centre with Shoot ‘Em Up. (I played a bit of Lisa Leblanc toward the end, and will put some in the next episode.)
  • I’m pretty sure it was Little You Little Me after that, but it’s hard sometimes to hear with so much Racket In My Brain. (That song is from their imminent release, I’d Watch The Day Til It Died.)

The Lunchbox Interview: Jessi Taylor (RJNB) on The Naught-Aversary

LunchBox-RJNBNauthaversary2015How do you celebrate something which doesn’t happen?

One approach is to combine humour, determination and positiveness.

Those are words that could describe the Naught-Aversary, a celebration of the lack of support and continuing barriers to access to address reproductive issues like abortion and sex education. This event is being hosted by Reproductive Justice NB tonight at The Blue Door restaurant at 5pm, complete with a hollow cake filled with empty promises. My guest today is Jessi Taylor from RJNB (fb). We talked about the issues still unresolved, the support still not present, and the event tonight to honour those who have helped move things forward.

The Lunchbox Interview: Lisa Ann Ross (Solo Chicken Productions) on Cringefest

LunchBox-Cringefest2015Have you ever bared your soul on paper?

Most people, I suspect, have described their dreams and goals, recorded their elation and vented their frustrations into a journal or diary. Maybe it’s been thirty years since you last looked at the book which holds those memories, but when you do..

You probably cringe.

Now, do that on stage, in front of an audience…

That’s the premise for what is likely to be a hilarious, heartwarming and quite embarrassing night at The Wilser’s Room this coming Sunday (November 29) at 7:30pm. The Cringefest fundraiser is raising money for artist’s fees for residences through Solo Chicken Productions. My guest today is Lisa Ann Ross from Solo Chicken Productions, who shared one of her own dramatic journal entries and talked about the instinct to document our lives in excruciating terms.

TWS335: Hal-Con 2015 Interviews Part Two

TWS335 logoWho are the people behind the voices, the characters, the stories we love so much? Do they recognize the impacts they make? Are they still real people?

These are some of the kinds of questions my mind suggests to me when I get a chance to interview people who are in a considerably more rarified air than I am, who work and live within the world of entertainment in a way I cannot fully imagine.

This is the second episode of interviews I conducted at Hal-Con 2015 in Halifax, NS. In this episode:

Tomorrow on Rosie Morning.

Tammy and I speak with Sociologist Debbie Van Hoonard about aging in New Brunswick and our attitudes toward it. Is our province doing enough for seniors? Are we doing enough,as individuals? Tune in tomorrow.

…and don’t forget … Thursday is the showdown you’ve all been waiting for….Don King, in association with Demon Peppers International presents….Aliens vs Predator? No..try … Aliens vs Jean.. in a battle of useless trivia that will leave one, (if not both) combatants gasping for air (and water). Jimmy Scovill of the Hot Pepper Times says “this is the match for the ages!”
