Amplify Canada

In the big launch podcast, we totally lucked out and have two great stories. The first is told by Pattison Media President Rod Schween and explains why he and his team came up with Amplify Canada. Let’s just say this is a project that comes from a big heart. In part two, we have what we consider a historic interview with iconic, 92-year old businessman James (Jimmy) Pattison, the ultimate small business to empire-building success story.

Show Notes

Amplify Canada is a 12-part, monthly podcast, that tells real stories of Canadians from Port Alberni, BC, to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and everywhere in between.  These are stories of invention, overcoming adversity, coming together, creativity and hope; stories of the diverse and varied business owners that Canadians rely on every day.  The owner of a multi-generational grocery store, a favorite African Caribbean Cafe, a favorite clothing boutique, restaurant, pub, barbershop, auto repair or cab company, a single mother down the street who started a successful natural products business, the local tattoo artists, a local musician making an impact on their community… you get the idea.  Pattison Media developed this project to help support small businesses in Western Canada.
