The conversation that Richard and I had was remarkable. I am super excited for Richard and his career path. He is doing such a great job with everything he has done so far. Richard Chevolleau is a native of Kingston, Jamaica. The multi-talented artist has honed his career over the years by living and working in New York, Los Angeles, Vancouver Calgary, Ottawa, and Toronto, where he currently resides. Richard, a Canadian Gemini and Actra award winning actor, is going to camera summer 2024 on his latest short film, “Marvelous Marvin.” Chevolleau brings his director/writer/producer skills to the table for the project. “Marvelous Marvin” is produced by Three Finger Film Productions Inc. Chevolleau’s production company, executive produced by Richard Fagon & Angie Reid.

Chevolleau’s sensitive and heartwarming film is a coming-of-age drama. “Marvelous Marvin” follows the journey of quiet ten-year-old Marvin Marvellus, who lives in a small rural town. Marvin has caught the wrath of the schoolyard bully, Tiny, and endures daily bullying from the boy. Marvin feels defeated and helpless until one day he discovers his father’s vintage superhero comics. He finds inspiration in the comic book heroes, leading him to believe that he can become a real-life superhero. He wears a make-shift cape and calls himself Marvelous Marvin. But, even with the name change and cape, Marvin realizes that defeating his bully isn’t that simple. He finally confronts his tormentor, and by standing up to him, Marvin discovers that courage comes from within if you believe in yourself.

The conversation with Gail Treasure was a good down to earth conversation. Gail is a remarkable writer, author, and retired teacher. We had a very interesting conversation about her career and journey in life. Gail Treasure is a retired school teacher who still teaches occasionally. Gail attended York University, where she majored in French and Italian. Gail has always loved to write, has taken countless writing courses, and attended numerous writing workshops. She is currently writing a novel for pre-teens, and she can not wait to release it. Gail is happily married and has two scientist daughters who Gail loves very much. Gail grew up in Toronto but now resides in the beautiful town of Uxbridge, Ontario. Gail wrote a novel called "Wife by the Hour" which was inspired by her many trips to France, her fascination with peeling back layers of the institution of marriage, and her desire to shed some light on the issue of the rights of sex workers in modern society in a fictional way. Gail is in a women group of kicka$$ writers. RE:BOOKS, a prominent independent publishing house in Toronto, was established by renowned 10x bestselling author, Rebecca Eckler. With a mission to champion the idea that "what's good is read and what’s read is good," RE:BOOKS is dedicated to delivering captivating stories that even Eckler herself would love to devour. No book snobs allowed! RE:BOOKS helps women to get their books published—from the big idea to the bestsellers’ list. No excuses. No sugarcoating. By curating the most exciting titles in Canadian publishing, they continue to inspire readers, offering a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction titles. Therefore, Gail's novel "Wife by the Hour" is about a woman named Julia - Meet Julia, a confident and empowered middle-aged single mother gracefully balancing her professional life as the sought-after escort, “Just Julia”, a nod to Pretty Woman. She enjoys the lucrative work; however, faced with the shifting sands of parenthood, she has decided to exit her “under the covers” business and turn to a full-time teaching career, stepping away from the escort business for good.

On her final day, Julia finds herself more than enjoying the company of her last client—a handsome man named Alex, who she soon recognizes as the husband of a friend with whom she had spent a turbulent summer au pairing in the South of France 25 years earlier. Julia is bewildered as she realizes that she has undeniably strong feelings for a man for the first time in her life. As Julia falls deeper in love (and lust) with Alex, she can’t help but dream that maybe—just maybe—he will reciprocate her feelings. When Alex asks (and pays) for Julia and her daughter to go to France, where he’ll be vacationing with his family, including his wife, Julia can’t say no, no matter how risky it is for everyone. Mostly, Julia wonders if and how it’s possible she can get Alex to leave his marriage for her. Alternating between past and present day, Julia reflects on her escorting experiences and explores the seven reasons why many men are reluctant to leave their marriages and choose to pay for intimacy instead.

I had a very awesome interview with Dr. Amara Pope. She is a fun person to speak with, especially when we talk about music and marketing. Amara is passionate about her career, and she strives to be the best of herself. Dr. Amara Pope is a second-generation Canadian-Trinidadian woman. Under thirty, Pope has completed her Ph.D., MA, and Joint Honors BA, all while working at several jobs to pay for her education. Nothing was given. The onus was on her to succeed. Pope brings laser focus and personal clarity to her PhD. dissertation, "Canadians Redefining R&B: The Online Marketing of Drake, Justin Bieber, and Jessie Reyez" The topic stems from the impact music had/ has (although not fully realized at the time) on this little girl growing up in a predominantly white place. Today, Dr. Amara Pope is a passionate and confident marketing manager, the first in a loving working-class family to graduate with a PhD. Music became an important part of her life growing up, the understanding of why and how significant came later in the journey, with Pope’s insightful PhD dissertation.

Pope’s well researched work uncovers the missing history of Canadian R&B, which had been excluded from Canadian media in the past. Pope features stories with Crack of Dawn, Oscar Peterson, Jackie Shane, Eleanor Collins & others. The paper critiques the organization of music through racial and national divides with insights from interviews conducted with music professionals and marketing executives. Pope explores how Canadian music was exclusively represented by white rock and folk artists & R&B music was exclusively used to group Black U.S. artists. The extensive dissertation argues that R&B exemplifies a multicultural Canadian identity by investigating how Drake, Justin Bieber, and Jessie Reyez broke into the music industry to represent multiple yet equally Canadian R&B artists. Pope analyzes the growing popularity of contemporary Canadian R&B in the digital era by examining Drake's, Bieber's, and Reyez's performances during BLM and the COVID-19 pandemic when they all released new music. The researcher takes an in depth look at the rise of Canadian hip hop and R&B music, specifically through the struggles of many racialized and immigrant Canadian artists who work together in the periphery of Canadian society to break into mainstream media. Pope explores how these Canadian artists collaborated with many U.S. artists to establish what she calls "Canadian R&B music," a mixture of R&B, hip-hop, pop, soca, reggae, and many immigrant sounds, styles, and cultures. The dissertation looks at how Drake, Justin Bieber, and Jessie Reyez reinforce, complicate, and / or challenge dominant beliefs of "Canadian-ness" and "R&B-ness" At a young age, Pope relocated from Scarborough, On. with its diverse ethnicities to a small town in Elmira, On. where hers was the only “brown family.” They were known as the “brown” family in the corner house. Pope embraced her Trinidadian culture with strength, understanding, and a sense of empowerment. She realized after her dissertation that musical artists like Bieber, Drake, and Reyez resonated with her younger self and allowed her to embrace different parts of her identity in ways that her immediate environments did not permit. Pope uncovered a deep interest in exploring the ability of musical artists to create experiences that she can enjoy along with other listeners.

On Keepin It Real w/Caramel Podcast, Caramel had an interesting and informative conversation with Emil Rem. Emil meets a lot of people, and he is not afraid to speak with strangers. Matter of fact, he makes great friends, so you never know who will meet until you speak them. Emil Rem, an eccentric accountant and he becomes a writer of eccentric characters, in exotic locales—each chapter, taking us on a trip into his fascinating twisted world. Born to a close-knit, middle-class Muslim East Indian family in Dar-es-Salam, Africa, in the 50’s, he is then moved to Maidenhead England at the age of five. The next twenty years are spent shuttling between England and East Africa, wearing a St. Christopher’s cross one minute and attending church, to wearing a green armband and attending Muslim religious classes in Africa the next. Moving to Canada, marrying a woman from the Philippines and having two boys only adds further texture to his stories. At the age of five, his mother, who possessed no education but held impossible ambitions, divorced his father and moved to England with Emil in tow. The only work she could get was as a trainee nurse but found she could not look after Emil. An English working class family volunteered to take him in until she found a permanent home for him. The initial two weeks turned into 12 years…His father continued to work for an airline which permitted Emil to travel free(ly) on standby and from the age of 12 he began to travel the world on his own… “Neither of his parents could afford to come with him. His mother gave Emil a pittance for his travels—it was all his mother could afford. Emil would arrive at London airport with a carry-on bag and a wad of tickets and take whichever airline had space available. He could have been in Moscow or Rio de Janeiro, Emil never knew. Nor did his family.” Today, Emil is a successful accountant, a respected member of my local community, and the author of three well-reviewed books with more in the works. Many of their chapters have appeared in literary magazines. His wife and Emil are happily married after 30 years, and they have raised two pain-in-the-neck boys who drive him crazy, but whom he loves dearly. Therefore, to understand Emil, his most fundamental conviction is this:

It’s not the chances you’re given in life that matters. It’s the choices you make. Your choice of action in the face of discouragement and adversity. Your choice of attitude: negative or positive, stuck or resilient, powerless or empowered.

Your choice between despair and hope. Emil has chosen action, resilience, and hope—and he believes that we each have it within ourselves to do the same.

Richard Parker and Caramel had a wonderful conversation on Keepin It Real w/Caramel Podcast. The conversation was so genuine and refreshing to know that Richard is truly in the world to help people. Richard Parker is the founder of Diomo Corporation – The Business Buyer Resource Center™ and author of the How To Buy A Good Business At A Great Price© series. Richard has purchased fourteen of his own businesses and has been an advisor and broker to small business buyers and sellers for over three decades.

He has written and been featured in more than 300 articles on the subject of buying businesses in The New York Times, Entrepreneur Magazine, and The Street.com. He is also a weekly contributor to Forbes Magazine. Richard was recently nominated for Inc. Magazine’s ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ award. Richard was born in Canada in 1961, and based in Florida since 1996, Richard Parker has been a business “junkie” since childhood, owning his first business at 12 and selling it profitably at 13 (this remains his favorite business story). His fascination with getting others involved in businesses started at this young age when he recruited seven neighborhood children as paper carriers and then successfully approached the local Sunday paper to grant him a master route with the idea of letting them solicit home delivery where there was none previously (sub-contracting the other kids and taking a percentage of their business of course) and so a career was born. The businesses have changed in the past 30 plus years, but the excitement remains. Richard feels “It has taken a lot of time, effort, and some painful experiences to develop the tried and true formulas that immediately identify a good business. More importantly is recognizing what particular business is ideal for the individual and which types are not. Good businesses run by the wrong people quickly turn sour, and that’s why so much of his material is devoted to helping each client buy a business that’s right for them. Richard can’t even begin to tell you how much he enjoys what he does for a living. Richard knows he is very lucky. He can’t wait to start each work day. That’s the beauty of owning a good business; it overtakes Richard in a way that he feels it is so incredible it’s nearly impossible to explain to someone who has never experienced it. That is exactly why Richard will help you achieve. You will soon understand his enthusiasm after you begin to follow his program and how you get to know each other. Richard is always available to help anyone. Richard promises he will do everything in his power to put you into the business of your dreams. If you are serious about being self-employed, then learn the right way to do it. How To Buy A Good Business At A Great Price© will teach you everything that you need to know, and his Personal Consulting Program will guide you at every step.
