Join us at Concordia University's 4TH SPACE for Talking Shop, a live podcast recording from the Department of Marketing at the John Molson School of Business.
Whether you're building a business, landing a trick, or mastering a recipe, what looks effortless is almost always the result of showing up again and again until it clicks. When you do get good, people take notice and want to be part of it.
Pro skateboarder Jessy Jean Bart (aka "The Black Sparrow") and Chef Tony "The Wok" join us to talk about what it takes to get good, build a name, and bring people together.
Expect cooking. Expect skating. Expect a candid conversation and great vibes.
How can you participate? Join us in person or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.
