"Tourism advances our Cabot brand and provides people and communities with an incredible opportunity to escape inequality.” – Ben Cowan-Dewar.

Welcome to Chatter That Matters, where we share inspiring stories of human journeys, extraordinary dreams, and transformative ideas. The timing couldn't be more perfect for this episode—today marks the beginning of The Masters, one of the most celebrated sporting events of the year. It's also a pivotal moment as we explore ways to create a more self-reliant economy that attracts foreign investment, generates employment, and brings positivity and opportunity to our communities.

I sit down with Ben Cowan-Dewar, the visionary entrepreneur behind the acclaimed Cabot golf courses. Ben shares his remarkable journey, from childhood golf dreams to building internationally renowned golf destinations that uplift local economies and communities.

Listen as Ben discusses passion, perseverance, and purpose, revealing how tourism can drive transformative economic growth and impact communities. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or involved in tourism, hospitality, or local communities, this episode will illustrate why tourism and the experience economy must evolve beyond just being a place to visit and into a place to be.

Chris Ronald, the President of RBC in the Atlantic Region, joins the show to discuss what they are doing to help clients thrive and communities prosper, and why this region offers so much for those who visit, live and build their future.
