In the very first episode of All About the Neighbourhood, grandfather-grandson duo Bob & Jake McVicar sit down with longtime friend and guest co-host Derek Riedle to kick things off.

Jake shares how he went from corporate life at IBM to building a career in real estate alongside his grandfather. He dives into everything from launching an Airbnb business to restoring Uptown’s historic gems. Bob, a well-known voice in the community, reflects on the city’s growth, challenges, and what makes Saint John’s economy real—not just buzzwords on a pitch deck.

Together, they talk family business dynamics, the city’s authentic edge, and why they’re betting big on Saint John’s future. It’s a conversation about roots, resilience, and the neighbourhood they’re proud to call home.
