  • Across The Desk with Marguerite Zimmerman
    Do you think that training your sales team isn't worth the time and effort? Well considering most companies end up investing $250,000 to train someone anyway, why not do it right?

Take a listen to Marguerite Zimmerman and learn the value of training your sales team right! The first time.

  • Across The Desk with Wayne Deadder
    My guest and I go back to 1979. Yep, waaaaayyy back to the rockin' 70's which seems kind of appropriate given what Wayne Deadder does now. As a successful session and band musician, Wayne has been delighting audiences with his guitar skills for over 30 years and is a two-time Juno nominee. On top of his guitar skills, Wayne is also a very successful airbrush artist. You'd think his path in life would be pretty clear right?

  • Across the Desk with Tree Ryde
    Meet Tree Ryde. She's who I've nicknamed the Ambasadoress of Awesomeness for Health Local. Why the title? Because Tree is the voice of reason that you reach when you call Health Local to learn more about how being a part of Canada's largest health directory can help you business. Plus she is what her title says: completely awesome. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to help health pro's across Canada. Who wouldn't want someone like that on their team?

  • Across the Desk with Monica Graves
    Do you think you are the only one that struggles with business stress, dealing with women who judge your clothes and the pressures of making your dream come true? Think again. Join me for a candid discussion about the trials and tribulations of leaving the corporate life behind, embracing a business wardrobe built from Value Village and picking yourself up in the face of tragedy to make your business stronger than ever.
    Once upon a time a little girl went out on recess. During recess she saw a business opportunity that would change the way she looked at school forever. She saw pebbles. And from those pebbles and idea was born. If she could sell those pebbles, she'd have the money to help her family and go on trips. Pretty smart thinking for a 5 year old. Her name was Monica Graves and that pebble idea? Well that's become Monica's successful company Glamjulz.
