Donald Savoie On John Bragg - Blueberry Baron And 'Pac-Man' Of The Maritime Cable Industry

The author of several books on the Atlantic Canadian economy and its entrepreneurs joins David Campbell and Don Mills to talk about the latest in his series of books about Maritime business titans, The Rural Entrepreneur: John Bragg.

Show Notes

John Bragg got his entrepreneurial start as a teenager in the blueberry business. He quit law school because he decided he was meant to be a businessman, not a lawyer, and started off down a path that led to the creation of Oxford Frozen Foods and the telecommunications company Eastlink, both headquartered in Nova Scotia.

Bragg is one of the Maritimes business titans that have inspired books by Donald Savoie, who joins David Campbell and Don Mills on the "Insights" podcast this week to talk about The Rural Entrepreneur: John Bragg.
