Wellington is joined by Jim Button who shares his experiences building brands, building companies, and building communities. He talks about finding purpose and joy; and of course, his love of beer. 

Wellington and Jim talk learning hard lessons in failed businesses and how to be a successful entrepreneur in competitive markets. Jim talks about bringing people together through entrepreneurship, community events, and the social lubricant he calls beer. The pair discuss the challenges facing Calgary and Alberta about  false narratives having to do with opportunities that exist in various industries, particularly around the energy industry. Jim notes that we need to start sharing our success stories of innovation and technology, and how many different types of jobs are available in our market. 

Jim shares his ongoing journey with terminal kidney cancer, also known as renal cell carcinoma, and how he finds comfort in writing for his blog, Gather With Jim. He says that it takes a village to build communities and keep them thriving, but that the most important ingredient to success is staying positive and giving back.
