The Elevate Report

In an unusual move we are releasing our next episode 5 days early as we discuss what happened with Wall Street Bets and the history we are witnessing in the stock market.

Josh and Dalton kick off the second season talking about what's in store for the new year, the awesome guests coming on, the challenges of entrepreneurship, and all the business insights they're looking to implement in 2021!

Thank you to all of you for listening this year! As we close out our first season and the year of 2020 we chat what we’ve learned, enjoyed, and grappled with. It was a great episode of reflection for us and hope it helps you reflect on things that were positive for you too!

We sit down with Private Investor Neil D'Souza and talk about the ins and outs of using a private lender vs borrowing from the bank. Neil brings a unique view point in how to leverage a private lender to grow your investment in 2020. 

Josh sits down with Web Designer Morgan Ringrose to discuss what it's like to run a creative business, what she's learned up to this point, and how she's seen success.

Value based vs. Hourly based pricing, what is best for creatives? Josh goes into detail of why he prefers a value based pricing model and why he sees it as the better route for designers and their clients.

As housing prices have been increasing significantly across the country we take a look at rent increases in Halifax, Nova Scotia and take a deeper look at the arguments on both sides of the issue. 

On a side note we apologize for the audio quality as we're back to doing the show remotely and will be working out a couple kinks as we go.

We had co-founder of R&G Strategic Riley on the show this week. We obviously talk the American election but then get into the guts of what R&G Strategic is all about. We chat specific plans of going green, the benefits of the circular economy, and how Canada/Nova Scotia can be a leader in renewable energy. We hope you enjoy! (This episode was recorded November 4th, 2020).

Today we have two design students (Mac Jessen & Warren Jardine) in studio to talk about their current experiences finishing up their degree. We touch on what life is like finishing school amidst COVID-19, what they hope to accomplish after graduation, if they would do it all again and so much more.

Nicole Gallant of SmartCat Marketing sits down with us to discuss how to properly sell and foster client relationships, overcoming the stress of entrepreneurship and obstacles she has overcome in starting her own company.
