Wellington is joined by Jim Button who shares his experiences building brands, building companies, and building communities. He talks about finding purpose and joy; and of course, his love of beer. Wellington and Jim talk learning hard lessons in failed businesses and how to be a successful entrepreneur in competitive markets. Jim talks about bringing people together through entrepreneurship, community events, and the social lubricant he calls beer. The pair discuss the challenges facing Calgary and Alberta about  false narratives having to do with opportunities that exist in various industries, particularly around the energy industry. Jim notes that we need to start sharing our success stories of innovation and technology, and how many different types of jobs are available in our market. Jim shares his ongoing journey with terminal kidney cancer, also known as renal cell carcinoma, and how he finds comfort in writing for his blog, Gather With Jim. He says that it takes a village to build communities and keep them thriving, but that the most important ingredient to success is staying positive and giving back. 

We begin with a look at the on-going weekend protests in Calgary's ‘Beltline' community. We speak with Global Reporter Sarah Offin about what, if anything, more can be done by City Police to put an end to the protests, which are causing ‘unrest' to the residents of the downtown community. Next we discuss the latest developments in the war in Ukraine. We talk with David Perry, President of the Canadian Global Affairs Institute for some insight into the Russian ‘strategy' at this point, which includes targeting civilians and even hospitals. It's a new ‘initiative' being put forth by the Calgary Public Library Foundation which encourages reading, and at the same time ‘celebrates' Calgarians who've made in impact in our community. We speak with the subject of “chapter one” of the initiative, Jim Button, Co-Founder of ‘Village Brewery' and ‘The Event Group'. And finally, it's “Motivational Monday”, our weekly segment aimed at helping you achieve your goals and live your best life! This week, we meet Brenda Frame, creator of “Frames Guest House”, and hear how she provides a “Home away from Home” for hospital patients and their families.

Today on The Kondrat Podcast, I sat down with Doug Gillespie, VP of Marketing with Hydropool Hot Tubs to have a conversation about creativity, being an entrepreneur, and helping to build a successful business.  Aside from being a successful business person, Doug is a committed father of two children and a proud coach with the Special Olympics.I was introduced to Doug through our mutual friend Jim Button.  I had asked Jim who I should speak to about creativity in business and he didn't hesitate to suggest that I connect with Doug!  I'm grateful that Doug took the time to share his story - I hope you enjoy our conversation.“Lead by example - and never take yourself too seriously.”  Doug Gillespie—Hydropool Hot Tubs: website | twitter | instagram The Kondrat Podcast:  website | twitter | instagram | facebook

This episode of Branding Matters is a little different. The conversation takes a bit of a detour away from branding and veers into more of a spiritual direction. The reason being is that just over 4 years ago, my guest was given one year to live. But against all odds, this unicorn is still here and living what he describes as “a life with purpose.” His name is Jim Button, and he is the Co-Founder of one of Calgary's favourite breweries - Village Brewery. A true leader in marketing and community building, Jim's passion for community investment has earned him impressive accolades which include a philanthropy award from the Canadian Association of Fundraising Professionals, TWO “Top 40 Under 40” awards with Avenue Magazine, and Community Builder of the Year award from the Alberta Small Brewers Association, just to name a few. I invited Jim to be a guest on my show today to discuss why he thinks it takes a village to build a brand. I also wanted to discuss Jim's new fundraising program that focuses on the mental health of kids living with cancer.

This week returning guest Jim Button and his wife Tracey join us to discuss how their family has faced Jim’s journey with cancer, and the legacy they hope to leave for the benefit of those suffering with and survivors of paediatric cancer. Jim was our very first episode on Let’s Meet For a Beer, and 40 episodes later the legend returns. This time around Jim is joined by his wife Tracey and in addition to learning about Tracey’s early life and how the two of them came together, we also learn some unexpected things from Jim’s past including the surprising story of spending a year as a welder, a job he had to lie about his qualifications to get. Tracey and Jim share the struggles their family faces along their journey with cancer. Jim tells us about “prescribed beast before date” originally given by his doctors that they’ve long since passed, and that after three and a half years he still never really knows what’s around the corner for him. Being diagnosed with a terminal illness is difficult for those you care about, so Jim and Tracey open up about their coping mechanisms like what they call “gallows humour,” and how important it has been to have the right supports in place for their kids who are facing this together at a very formative age. We also hear about the legacy that Jim and Tracey are hoping to leave as they tell us about a lofty goal - to raise 5 million dollars for a research chair in paediatric psychosocial oncology and survivorship. Huge strides have been made in paediatric oncology and today roughly 80% of kids who are diagnosed with cancer overcome it. However, without the resources available to many adult survivors of cancer these kids can often be left struggling to continue their lives their same way as kids who haven’t been impacted by the disease. Jim and Tracey recognized how lucky they were to have that support, and when they learned the same opportunities weren’t available to children it was clear to them that there was a need for them to help fulfill.

Nick and Jonathan are joined today by returning guest Mark Kondrat! We chat with Mark about his podcast, Let’s Meet For A Beer, and dive into the history of the Alberta Beer Festivals team and how many of their current festivals came about. Mark claims to be a on trick pony with everything he does revolving around beer and his podcast is no exception. Meeting for a beer is the best way to take time out of your day and get to know someone, and Mark uses the Let’s Meet For A Beer podcast to interview people who’ve inspired him personally. His first interview took place in June of 2018 with Jim Button of Village Brewing who surprised him at the last minute with an extra guest - the President of Beer Canada! Since then Mark has released more than 30 episodes, pumping out a new release every single week, and many of his episodes have focused on destigmatizing mental health by talking with men and women willing to open up about their own struggles and sharing how they tackle those issues. We also take some time to talk about Mark’s approach to work, despite being the founder of a company focused on massive festivals with thousand of people, Mark tells us he’s not much of a team player and most days simply prefers to work on his own. In addition we discuss the four very unique personalities that make up the ABF team and how together they’ve come together to create six amazing yearly festivals including the upcoming Banff festival from November 21 to 23 which he calls “the most beautiful beer festival in the world.” After Mark’s appearance on the show we sit down with Mama T to get her input on a red hot market, one that frequently flares up and some might even describe as inflamed: the hemorrhoid cream market. Through a little bit of digging we discover Nick has some experience of his own with industry frontrunner Preparation H. “If it’s good enough for your ass, it’s good enough for your tattoos!"

Jim Button is co-founder of Village Brewery, a strategist with Evans Hunt and a member of the board of directors of Beer Canada. Jim has been on a sabbatical for a year while he deals with terminal cancer.

This episode we're joined by Jim Button of Village Brewery and later by Luke Harford of Beer Canada.Jim Button says that he was lucky to learn early on that he was a bridge, or a conduit. He takes pride in the fact that he is the one to connect people, which is why he always "knows a guy." With that in mind, it makes sense that Jim is one of the masterminds behind Village Brewery, and as he goes on to tell us, beer isn't just a social lubricant, it is a currency of its own. Later in the interview, Jim opens up about his journey with cancer, and how his blog Gather With Jim has helped him and others in their journey.In the second half of this episode, Luke Harmon of Beer Canada discusses his tenured history with the organization, the goals of Beer Canada, and the surprising fact that cheese pairs better with beer than wine! "It's an exciting time for beer," in no small part due to the work that Luke and his regional partners do to make time to answer questions for any brewer who calls, whether they're a member or not.letsmeetforabeer.comalbertabeerfestivals.comvillagebrewery.comgatherwithjim.combeercanada.com
