Retiring Chamber CEO Patrick Sullivan Says Taxes Are Killing Small Business

This week we had the pleasure of spending well over an hour with President and CEO of the Halifax Chamber of Commerce, Patrick Sullivan. He shares insights from his nine-year tenure leading 2,000 members, & representing over 90,000 employees across Nova Scotia as he prepares for retirement. We dive into Pat's unique career driven by a passion for marketing which led him to work to such places as Moosehead Breweries, Indigo Books, Workopolis, and Tourism Nova Scotia.We also talk about his interview with former Prime Minister Trudeau, maintaining professional political neutrality, hot topics like interprovincial trade barriers, business recovery after covid, Artificial Intelligence and more.Patrick's true passion for entrepreneurs and businesses big and small is what truly shone out in this episode, and he shares a few ideas in our 10 questions round that could help.We thank Patrick for his time, and to the Halifax Chamber for having a supportive network of business owners that support you and want you to succeed. If you ever want to know if the chamber could help you, email us and well be sure to connect you to one of their ambassadors. We think Patrick will be missed upon his retirement and congratulate him on a career well explored (though we also think he's not done yet!) Send us Fan Mail Your Dream Home Does Not Have to Be Just A Dream.
