In this episode of The Food Professor podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois tackle pressing issues in Canada's food industry before interviewing Mark Cunningham, President and Chief Operating Officer of Smoke's Poutinerie.The episode begins with the hosts discussing Loblaw's decision to place "T" labels on products affected by tariffs. While Charlebois appreciates the transparency effort, he questions whether the approach is too simplistic, explaining that tariffs impact entire product categories beyond individual items. The hosts explore how Canadian retailers rapidly " de-Americanize" their product offerings in response to US-Canada trade tensions.They examine how companies like Moosehead leverage the political climate for marketing with initiatives like their "Presidential Pack" of 1,461 beers (one for each day left of Trump's presidency) before analyzing China's retaliatory tariffs on Canadian canola and seafood. Charlebois criticizes Canada's geopolitical approach, noting how China strategically targeted farmers rather than the automotive sector following Canada's 100% tariff on Chinese EVs.In the featured interview, Mark Cunningham shares insights about Smokes Poutinerie, the Canadian poutine restaurant franchise with over 100 locations across Canada, including 45+ traditional franchise locations and numerous non-traditional sites in colleges, airports, and arenas. Cunningham discusses how the company honours its late founder, Ryan Smolkin (who maintains the title of "Chief Entertainment Officer"), by staying true to authentic Quebec ingredients while packaging poutine with distinctive Canadian flair through their red and black plaid branding and 80s pop culture references.Cunningham details their business model's evolution, including adapting to a delivery-focused environment (now representing 35% of sales), managing food costs amid inflation, and their creative approach to menu innovation. He explains how they position themselves as "brand disruptors" in the quick-service restaurant space, using provocative marketing campaigns that often playfully target larger competitors. Cunningham also highlights their World Poutine Eating Championship, which has grown to become North America's second-largest eating competition.The hosts reflect on the food industry's resilience five years after COVID, with Charlebois noting how the pandemic forced companies to reconsider supply chain management and communication strategies. Additional topics covered include RFK Jr.'s meeting with food executives about banning artificial dyes, EU retaliatory tariffs against the US, and Charlebois receiving a King Charles Coronation medal honouring his contributions to the food industry in Canada and globally.

What if the key to healing trauma lies in the unexpected fusion of military discipline and psychedelic therapy? This episode features an enlightening conversation with Army veteran Mark Cunningham, who reveals his journey from the battlefields of Afghanistan to the nuanced world of MDMA-assisted therapy.

Ósta Café and Wine Bar is one of the businesses nominated in the Ireland's Favourite Local Business competition, backed by the Love Sligo Gift Card. Located alongside the Garavogue River, Ósta first opened in the town 18 years ago. Industry expert Brid Torrades has over 40 years of hospitality experience under her belt and said: "We opened Ósta in Sligo in 2006 and my goal was to make it a neighbourhood place for people to meet friends, enjoy good food and drinks, read the paper and relax. I wanted the produce to all be top quality using local, seasonal produce. And these values hold true today. We serve excellent organic, fair-trade coffee which is roasted in Ireland - the same brand we've used for 18 years. "We really encourage and support local suppliers. In the beginning this was hard as local producers were in short supply but there are many, many excellent food producers in the northwest for which we are grateful. "Our staff are our backbone. Many of the team have been with us for a long time, and that keeps us moving forward. We're also fortunate to have loyal customers. People that used to visit Osta as kids for their pancakes now visit with their own children, and many families have been with us since the start. I think independent businesses are so important to a town and customers really appreciate that in Sligo. "Baking starts early morning in Osta so that people can get their coffee and scone on the way to work, we also offer brunch and light lunches, maybe a warming soup or stew depending on the weather. In 2020, we also started farming our own herd of Dexter cattle so we can produce our own grass fed beef. I think food provenance matters more and more. People want to know where their food is from but also the healthiest, most nutritional option. "Sustainability is also a big focus for us. When we started the business, compostable packing wasn't as available as it is now. Today, we're able to use compostable cups, and encourage customers to use their own cups too." Ósta Café and Wine Bar is part of the Love Sligo Gift Card led by Sligo BID, which can be spent with over 230 local businesses. Brid says the initiative benefits everyone in the town: "The Love Sligo Gift Card is great for the town. If I give a Love Sligo Gift Card to someone, it doesn't matter where it's spent, we all benefit eventually. It powers the circular economy and is very easy for us as a business to accept. "It's an honour for Osta to be nominated as Ireland's Favourite Local Business. I'm proud that we are part of people's day to day lives, and that they have taken the time to nominate us means the world." Shops, restaurants, salons, hotels and attractions in Sligo- and right across Ireland - are all eligible to be Ireland's Favourite Local Business 2024. People can nominate their favourite local business in the competition free at lovelocalwin.ie, giving the name of the local business they think deserves to win and a reason. Ireland's Favourite Local Business will be the business who has the most nominations and will win a €500 Town & City Gift Card, such as the Love Sligo Gift Card, with one person who nominated the winning business receiving a €1000 Town & City Gift Card. Businesses can find out more about the competition online. Over €750,000 of Love Sligo Gift Cards have been sold to date, with the cards popular for both consumers to buy and organisations to use as staff rewards, taking advantage of the Small Benefit Exemption scheme. Gail McGibbon, CEO at Sligo BID said: "We're thrilled to see this nomination for a popular Sligo business in this national competition. Local businesses are the foundation of our town and community, with many part of our Love Sligo Gift Card that continues to go from strength to strength. If there is a Sligo business that makes a positive impact on your life, I encourage you to vote for them as Ireland's Favourite Local Business."

Mark Cunningham, aka The Human Fish, is hailed as one of the greatest bodysurfers of all time. He grew up in Hawaii, became a lifeguard in the mid-'70s, and for nearly 30 years guarded primarily at Ehukai Beach Park, with a view straight into Pipeline's barrel. Through the '70s, '80s, and '90s, Cunningham won nearly every bodysurfing event he entered. But, as Cunningham would be the first to tell you, bodysurfing is not about winning or losing. Cunningham retired from lifeguarding in 2005, at age 49. In recent years, he's become an obsessive reefcomber, finding fins, sunglasses, watches, and other valuables on the ocean floor. He's also become a visual artist, using his findings in sculptures and assemblages. In this episode of Soundings, Cunningham talks with Jamie Brisick about the multifarious duties of a lifeguard, scanning the impact zone, brushes with fate at Backdoor, playing in the shorebreak, the joys of retirement, Puerto Escondido, and the virtue of leading a simple life.

Mark Cunningham returns to the show to review track-by-track the You 1965 album ‘Cliff Richard' and the single “On My Word/Just a Little Bit Too Late”.

Local gift cards are driving significant spend in towns and cities across Ireland, says fintech Miconex as it shares key insights from its local gift card programmes around the world. Sales in Ireland across Miconex's Town & City Gift Cards programs in Sligo, Ballinrobe, Drogheda, Waterford, Carndonagh and Letterkenny totalled over €7 million in 2023. In 2024, demand for shop local continues to rise with local gift card sales in Ireland up 62% on 2023, to date. The number of places with a local gift card programme backed by Miconex technology topped 200 for the first time in 2023. 26 new places, including Waterford, launched their own local gift card in 2023, capitalising on the global demand for gift cards and giving places a means to divert online spend back to independent and national bricks and mortar businesses across sectors. Miconex 2023 data shows that 90% of people spend over the value of the gift card on redemption globally, typically 65%. In Ireland, 33% spend 100% - 125% more than the value of the gift card on redemption. 71% of those who overspend see their gift card as 'free money', spending more than the gift card value as a result. The range of independent businesses which accept Miconex's local gift cards - usually alongside a range of national brands - makes the cards unique in the sector. A typical 50%, and up to 100%, of its local gift cards are redeemed with independent shops, restaurants and venues. 2023 also saw a marked move by organisations towards local gift cards for staff rewards and incentives, plus charities using the cards for service user support. Colin Munro the managing director of Miconex said the appetite for local gift cards continues to grow across Ireland: "Receiving a local gift card is the first step in an exciting journey of discovery for recipients. Taking into account the typical 65% and up to 125% overspend, the impact of local gift cards in 2023 was significant and this is a trend that will continue. "Globally in 2023, 96% of people said they are keen to support local. The mix of independents with national brands, across multiple sectors, makes our local gift cards appealing for both consumers and organisations as the ultimate shop local gift card. In 2024, we'll be continuing to work alongside our places to drive even more spend into Irish towns and cities." Town & City Gift Card programmes in Ireland attribute their success to organisational and community support for local: Trevor Connolly, chief executive officer at Love Drogheda BID said: "We have been delighted with the sustained growth of the Love Drogheda Gift Card with sales of over €500,000 since inception and over 220 participants to give a high level of variety of shopping options to the user of the cards. This has been an excellent programme to help retain local spend and sustain local employment." Deirdre Bradley, chairperson of the Carndonagh Traders' Association, said: "The Carndonagh Gift Card is the most impactful project we've undertaken as a Trader's Association and has been hugely beneficial for businesses in the town. I think the success of the card is thanks to the support we've had from our community, from people buying the cards as gifts to employers using the card for staff rewards and incentives. It's a gift card that offers choice and works for all ages and interests. Our gift card has kept many businesses in Carndonagh open." Mark Cunningham, Love Sligo programme coordinator, said: "The success of the Love Sligo Gift Card materialised for a number of key reasons, CEO of Sligo BID Gail McGibbon identified a gap in the market for a zero percent multi use gift card which resulted in a successful partnering with Miconex, this was followed by the deliverance of an intense locally focused marketing campaign highlighting the key economic benefits that the Love Sligo Gift Card brought to the town. "As campaign momentum gathered in the lead up to Christmas, the decision of 100+ local companies to choose the Lo...

Following a festive push to encourage Sligo businesses and consumers to choose local, over 300,000 of Love Sligo Gift Cards have been sold since October 2023, with over 200,000 of sales down to organisations using the local gift card for Christmas rewards and incentives. As a prepaid Mastercard, the Love Sligo Gift Card can be spent with any of the 214 registered businesses in Sligo, including national brands and independent businesses. Mark Cunningham, Love Sligo Programme Coordinator, has been driving the Love Sligo Gift Card in the town and says both consumers and businesses have embraced the initiative: "There's a huge amount of positivity around the Love Sligo Gift Card both from a consumer and corporate perspective with over 50 businesses choosing to use the card this year for their corporate rewards. These are local businesses who are in turn supporting other local businesses, and that creates a feel-good factor in the town, alongside a growing realisation that the Love Sligo Gift Card has to be spent in Sligo. It cannot leave the local economy. "What has been achieved by businesses in Sligo working together with the gift card over the past few months is phenomenal. 214 businesses are now part of the Love Sligo Gift Card and sales are increasing by the day. The 300,000 we've already locked into Sligo over the past 3 months is fantastic but if every Sligo firm made the decision to use our local gift card for staff rewards, imagine the impact we could make on the local economy. "We're already confidently looking towards 2024 and how we can make the Love Sligo Gift Card even bigger and better. We would ask that any Sligo business who already had the box ticked for their 2023 rewards to consider the Love Sligo Gift Card for 2024. This is a card that benefits every single one of us." Riverside Hotel, Compupac, Rosses Point Golf Club and Arrotek are four of the corporate firms who are investing in Sligo by choosing the town's local gift card for festive rewards in 2023. Connie Ballantine, HR at Riverside Hotel Sligo said the gift card has been well received by staff: "Riverside Hotel is an independent hotel, bar, restaurant and café. Our staff are brilliant and as a management team, we decided that instead of the One4All vouchers as a bonus for Christmas 2023, we'd use the Love Sligo Gift Card because we want to support local and see Sligo grow. Staff received an amount depending on an average of their summer hours, up to 500, at the end of November. "The great thing about the Love Sligo Gift Card is the variety of stores and businesses that accept it locally, so staff don't have to travel to spend it, we even accept it ourselves. One staff member said they'd spent their Love Sligo Gift Card on a full tank of oil. Others have used their gift card with Sligo restaurants and bars. It has gone down really well with our team and they've enjoyed spending it. "We also appreciate that there are no costs for businesses to be a part of the Love Sligo Gift Card and no commission for businesses to accept it. Choosing the Love Sligo Gift Card will help to grow our local economy because it supports a number of sectors. Many Sligo businesses are family run and have been in the town for hundreds of years, it's down to us to keep them open." Garth McManus, Sales Manager at Compupac said the gift card is essential to helping the region to grow: "Compupac is a leading family-run managed services provider founded in 1983. For staff rewards in the past, we've given staff three options; a voucher for Certa, Tesco or One4All. This year, the logical thing for us was to use the Love Sligo Gift Card because it ticks all the boxes. It supports local, it gives our staff choice of over 200 businesses, and it's easy. After ordering, I had my delivery in 3 days and we were able to get them out to staff quicker, so they could spend before Christmas, when it's needed. "Staff were very happy with the Love Sligo Gift Card because they know supporting the t...

Mark Cunningham's waterman roots were formed in the waves of Oahu's South Shore, but it was on the North Shore where his life-saving skills and wave-riding achievements became legend. Think of Pipeline, and many North Shore devotees still see Mark manning the stand and watching over all who dare challenge one of the world's most intimidating surf breaks. In a 30-year career with the City & County of Honolulu Ocean Safety and Lifeguard Services Division, featuring 20 years at Pipeline, Mark saved lives while imparting his wisdom to kama‘aina, visitors, and future generations. He founded the O‘ahu Junior Lifeguard Program, teaching ocean skills training, respect for the ocean, and malama for the beach. It was also on the North Shore where Mark became the world's best bodysurfer, winning more than 15 championships. His first title came during high school and his last after age 40. Committed to protecting the North Shore from large-scale development, Mark helped found Defend O‘ahu Coalition, a grassroots organization inspired by the rally cry, Keep the Country Country! North Shore lifesaver, bodysurfer, and community champion – it's the essence of Mark Cunningham.
