John Steele Reveals Newfoundland's Biggest Business Deals | H&H Ep. 17

What does it take to build a business empire in Newfoundland — and what does it actually cost? In this episode of The Honourable and The Hack, we sit down with John Steele — CEO of Long Play Capital, owner of Steele Hotels, President of Brigus Production Company, and one of the most recognizable names in Newfoundland and Labrador's business and cultural landscape. John is the son of the late media mogul Harry Steele, and he's spent decades carving out his own identity in a province where business, culture, and community are deeply intertwined.We talk about how he found his footing growing up in the shadow of a larger-than-life father, what it took to build something distinctly his own, and why Newfoundland is one of the most unique — and unpredictable — places in the country to do business.From Steele Communications to Steele Hotels, from radio to rock concerts, John's career is a masterclass in reading a room — and in knowing when to build something the market didn't know it needed yet.📩 Got a question for a future mailbag episode?
