Host Mark Leger has been absorbed by books about successful Maritime entrepreneurs over the past few months, interviewing the authors of books on K.C. Irving and the founders of Radian6 and Q1 Labs, companies that sold for more than a combined $1-billion in the last decade. On this episode, Mark chats with Tareq Hadhad of Peace By Chocolate in Antigonish.
