Michael Burgess - Nice It Up with Nerpy’s

For our guest, food is where his story began, working in his uncle's grocery store from an early age. After college, he returned to Jamaica to run his uncle's food manufacturing plant before eventually making his way back to Canada to build a career in sales. Then the economic downturn of 2008 arrived, and with it, a pull back toward his entrepreneurial roots that he could no longer ignore. What followed started with a single article in a magazine, one recipe, and a university food lab.Today he runs a Jamaican hot sauce business built on a commitment to authenticity that goes back to the soil, truly farm to table before that phrase became a trend.#pivotalmoment #entrepreneurship #roots #niceitupSend us Fan MailLesley Hawkins is a keynote speaker with her signature keynote "The Courage To Define and Own Your Worth", workshop developer (The Leadership Mirror and The Leaders Table), leadership strategist, and storyteller who believes growth happens in the everyday moments that define who we become. Drawing on years of experience leading, guiding, and mentoring teams, Lesley brings authenticity, curiosity, and heart to the conversation as each interaction is an opportunity to define what truly matters.One question.
