Some 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.)
