Global Bluenosers

In this episode, Sean sits down with Taylor Judson, a Nova Scotia–born communications professional now living in Ontario, to explore what it means to grow up in a small East Coast community and carry that identity with you. From her childhood in Lake Echo to navigating a major move at 15, Taylor reflects on the culture shock of leaving Nova Scotia and the subtle ways its influence has stayed with her, from how she speaks to how she connects with others.Taylor also takes time to reflect on lasting pull of home, especially as the years living away begins to match the years spent in the province. Taylor shares how Nova Scotia still feels like home, not just as a place, but as a feeling — one that shows up in community, pace of life, and the simple things you don’t realize you’ll miss. Her perfect 24-hour return captures that beautifully: beaches, small-town connections, and the kind of experiences that remind you why Nova Scotia never really leaves you._______________________________Global Bluenosers is brought to you by Halifax Stanfield, Atlantic Canada’s airport hub working to accelerate the growth of our communities by connecting people and goods to the world.

In this episode, Sean is joined by Kyle Crawford, a Nova Scotia–born food media professional, content creator, and storyteller now based in Toronto. Kyle reflects on growing up between Halifax and the South Shore, and how those earlyexperiences continue to shape his identity, creativity, and sense of home.Kyle shares his journey from restaurant work to food media and television, building a career rooted in storytelling through food. Through memories of summer rituals, gray days, and the foods that define the East Coast — from Donairs to clams andchips — Kyle explores why some flavours, and some feelings, only make sense at the source.And of course, Kyle walks us through his perfectly planned 24 Hours back home in Nova Scotia — from a morning walk to the beach to a late night meetup in Halifax.You can find Kyle on social media on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn. ____________________________________Global Bluenosers is brought to you by Halifax Stanfield, Atlantic Canada’s airport hub working to accelerate the growth of our communities by connecting people and goods to the world.

In this episode, Sean is joined by Angela de Burger — a Nova Scotia–raised communications leader, creative, and podcaster now living in southern France. Angela reflects on growing up in Dartmouth, shaped by a deeply rooted sense of community, creativity, and openness that continues to influence how she lives and works today.She shares her journey across Canada and into the nonprofit and social impact sector, before COVID became a catalyst for reinvention — launching a consulting practice, embracing remote work, and ultimately making the leap to France with just two suitcases. Throughout the conversation, Angela returns to a central theme: Nova Scotia’s culture of connection, collaboration, and belonging never really leaves you. Angela also discusses The Creative Pulse, her podcast exploring the creative passions that light people up, including many artists and creators with strong ties to Nova Scotia. And of course, she walks us through her perfect 24 Hours back home in Nova Scotia. When listening to Angela’s podcast, start with this great list of episodes that feature guests with strong Nova Scotia ties: Ep 02: Carla Brown - Creative Reuse ArtistEp 09: Emma FitzGerald - Illustrator and AuthorEp 12: Hasmeet Singh Chandok and Kunwar Singh -Bhangra Dancers and Joyful Activists (from the Maritime Bhangra Group)Ep 19: Jason Davis – Opera Singer, Vocal Teacherand Stage DirectorEp 30: Paul de Burger - Photographer, Musician,Speaker and AuthorEp 31: Tracey Erin Smith - Founder of SOULOTheatreEp 35: Joanne MacLennan - Canadian LandscapeArtistEp 55: Wendy Goudie - Creative Movement ExpertEp 56: John Goudie - Creative Arts ProducerEp 77: Phillip Bailey - Hand-Drawn Map MakerEp 127: Alexandria Masse - Textile Artist andSculptor____________________________________Global Bluenosers is brought to you by Halifax Stanfield, Atlantic Canada’s airport hub working to accelerate the growth of our communities by connecting people and goods to the world.

This week, Sean sits down with Melissa Nadeau, a proud Cole Harbour product, whose life and career have taken her from Toronto to Calgary and across the country, but whose heart remains firmly rooted in Nova Scotia.Melissa shares her journey: growing up in Cole Harbour’s tight-knit hockey culture, becoming one of the only girls playing boys hockey at the time, adventures through St. FX, travels, career pivots, and the perspective shift that came with turning 40. She reflects on how Nova Scotia shaped her values — from community and honesty to work ethic and identity — and why every trip home still feels like a “hug for the soul.”Full all the humour and authenticity that comes from two Bluenosers chatting, you can feel the love for Nova Scotia coming through the microphone. This is truly a conversation that highlights how Nova Scotia leaves a permanent imprint no matter how far you roam.____________________________________Global Bluenosers is brought to you by Halifax Stanfield, Atlantic Canada’s airport hub working to accelerate the growth of our communities by connecting people and goods to the world.

This week, Sean connects with Candace Curphy, a Nova Scotia native now living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania — the adopted home of famous Bluenoser, Sidney Crosby.Born in Queens County and raised between the South Shore and the Valley, Candace shares stories of growing up in a two-room schoolhouse, summer days at Cameron Lake, and how the move to the U.S. reshaped her sense of identity. From volleyball courts in Pennsylvania to life in big American cities, she’s carried her Nova Scotian roots with pride — even if she had to lose the accent along the way.Sean and Candace talk about how Home takes on new meaning once you’ve left it, the subtle things that bring it back — from hearing bagpipes at the border to seeing Kraft Dinner on the shelf — and how Nova Scotians abroad become some of the province’s greatest ambassadors.And when given 24 hours back home? Candace’s dream itinerary includes canoeing on Cameron Lake, a stop at Summerville Beach, ice cream from Seaside Takeout, fish and chips in Lunenburg, and a night in Halifax with live music.____________________________________Global Bluenosers is brought to you by Halifax Stanfield, Atlantic Canada’s airport hub working to accelerate the growth of our communities by connecting people and goods to the world.

"Home" can mean many things. And for Dave McIntyre, Home has always been Cape Breton. Even if he grew up in Ontario!In today's episode, Sean and Dave talk about the impact of family history, family connections, and the ways that impacts our identity.From his family ties in Glace Bay and summers spent on the banks of the Mira River, to the unplanned adventures and the storytelling spirit that defines the island, Dave shares how Cape Breton has shaped his sense of belonging, community, and joy.He paints the picture of his perfect day back home — coffee overlooking the river, dropping in to visit family, a round of golf, and a night that ends with laughter, card games, and a couple of pints by the water. Along the way, he reminds us that the real magic of Nova Scotia isn’t just in its scenery, but in our people — the characters, the conversations, and the kindness that always makes you feel like you’re home.____________________________________Global Bluenosers is brought to you by Halifax Stanfield, Atlantic Canada’s airport hub working to accelerate the growth of our communities by connecting people and goods to the world.

This week, Sean reconnects with Cassie Naas, who grew up in Head of St. Margarets Bay and now, like so many Nova Scotians, lives in Calgary.From foggy mornings and the smell of seaweed on the shore to the sight of lupins that remind her of home even on the other side of the world, Cassie’s story is steeped in memory and place. She reflects on leaving Halifax to push herself out of her comfort zone and tells us about the life she’s built in Alberta. And underneath it all is the emotional tug of always having one foot in Nova Scotia.Cassie also walks us through her perfect 24 hours back home — her glimmer list. It’s a fast-paced day of coffee, a stroll on the Halifax waterfront, history at Citadel Hill, gingerbread on the South Shore, a magical stop in Liverpool, dinner at White Point, and a night of music and dancing at The Shore Club. Along the way, she captures the beauty of Nova Scotia’s hidden gems and the bittersweet balance of building a life away while never leaving Home behind.____________________________________Global Bluenosers is brought to you by Halifax Stanfield, Atlantic Canada’s airport hub working to accelerate the growth of our communities by connecting people and goods to the world.

What makes someone fall in love with Nova Scotia from thousands of miles away? For Indianapolis-based musician and radio host Dave Bagdade, the answer is simple: the ocean, the people, and above all, the music. After more than a dozen visits—and even getting married on Cape Breton Island —Dave has become a Nova Scotian-by-choice, building deep ties to the province through its Celtic culture.In this episode, Dave takes us on a whirlwind 24-hour journey around Cape Breton, from the Sydney waterfront to the Cabot Trail, Chéticamp, Baddeck, and the Red Shoe Pub. Along the way, he shares why Cape Breton’s fiddlers keep a centuries-old Scottish tradition alive, how Celtic Colors connects musicians from around the world, and why Nova Scotia’s music feels like “pure joy.”Find the podcast recordings of Dave's radio show, Kitchen Party Ceilidh on all the major streaming apps.____________________________________Global Bluenosers is brought to you by Halifax Stanfield, Atlantic Canada’s airport hub working to accelerate the growth of our communities by connecting people and goods to the world.

In this episode, Sean catches up with Krista Thurrott, who is originally from Cow Bay, Nova Scotia, but is now a creative strategist with Pinterest in Chicago.From childhood days of bike rides and beach walks to building a career that’s taken her from Toronto to London to the Midwest, Krista’s story is woven with the pull of home. Krista also maps out her perfect 24 hours back home in Nova Scotia - coffee in the kitchen with family, a windswept loop around Cow Bay, fish and chips in Lunenburg, craft beer on the waterfront, and a sail into the Dartmouth night. Along the way, she reflects on the smell of salt air, the sense of community that shaped her, and why fall in Nova Scotia might just outrank summer. ____________________________________Global Bluenosers is brought to you by Halifax Stanfield, Atlantic Canada’s airport hub working to accelerate the growth of our communities by connecting people and goods to the world.

We're back! After an extended hiatus, Global Bluenosers is back and ready to put the spotlight back onto our community of Nova Scotians by birth or by choice living around the world.In this episode, Sean sits down with Ian Kenny, a cultural strategist now based in the Netherlands, whose journey to Nova Scotia began with a chance encounter at a university fair. What followed was five formative years in Halifax - studying at King’s, working at the Keith’s Brewery, and building deep friendships that left a lasting imprint. Ian reflects on how Nova Scotia shaped his identity, gave him a truer sense of place, and remains a touchstone in his life abroad. From ferry rides across the harbour to dreams of a sunrise in Cape Breton, this conversation is a love letter to the province that helped Ian come into his own.____________________________________Global Bluenosers is brought to you by Halifax Stanfield, Atlantic Canada’s airport hub working to accelerate the growth of our communities by connecting people and goods to the world.

What's the easiest way to combat homesickness when starting your journey as a Global Bluenoser? If you ask Baddeck's Elizabeth Italiano, she'll say you should book your first three trips Home before you even leave! It's rarely a straight line for anyone leaving small town Cape Breton for a life in Canada's largest city. It comes with some bumps and lots of positives too. New friends, new ways of doing things, and important discoveries about your homeland - such as the fact Halifax has far superior shawarma to that in Toronto! In today's chat, Liz tells us all about her journey to Pickering, Ontario and the impact that being a Nova Scotian has had on her life along the way. __________________________________________________ Halifax Bluenosers!

How does the love of American football lead to a lifelong connection to Nova Scotia? The answer might not be obvious, but for born and raised Londoner, Al Tepper, one truly did lead to the other. Al is what some would call a Bluenoser-by-choice, but it's more accurate to just call him a Nova Scotian. As you'll hear in our conversation today, he credits Nova Scotia for creating the foundation of his life now. Nova Scotia has fully embedded itself into Al's heart and soul. And he is absolutely okay with that. ________________________________________________________ Join us for the next Global Bluenosers Meetup in London, England on Tuesday, March 12!

Has your mom frozen a pizza from your favourite Nova Scotian pizza spot and shipped it to you across the country? If so, you’re probably a Bluenoser like Allie Mason! But seriously, for any born-and-raised Bluenoser, today’s chat with Allie is going to leave you smiling, laughing, and feeling pretty darn homesick (in the nostalgic, nice way!) Allie’s journey from New Glasgow to Los Angeles has been fascinating. And the best part of today’s episode really is the honesty in how she tells her story. If you finish this episode and aren’t intensely craving Acropole Pizza, I don’t think you were listening. ________________________________________________________ Join us for the next Global Bluenosers Meetup in London, England on Tuesday, March 12!

You never know where life will take you. That's a common theme for so many Global Bluenosers we speak with. But it's very accurate for Naomi Grega. Growing up in Wellington, Nova Scotia, Naomi could have never imagined the majority of her adult life would be spent living, working and raising a family in Kosice, Slovakia. So how did someone growing up in a small community next to Halifax's airport end up in Slovakia's second largest city?

How can 48 hours change your life? For Rachel Sumner, originally from England, it took only 48 hours to convince her family that Nova Scotia was the right next step in their journey. The rest, as they say, is history! Rachel's journey as a Canadian-by-choice all started by becoming a Bluenoser-by-choice! Today, Rachel and I chat about the impact of Nova Scotia on her life and how those fours years in Canada's Ocean Playground have forever impacted her own identity. ________________________________________________________ Global Bluenosers is a Some Good Media & Entertainment production.

Can someone from rural Nova Scotia become the CEO of a global company? Silly question. Of course they can! And many have. Today's guest is one of them. Heather Kernahan grew up in Truro and has gone on to become a tech executive, strategic advisor, and investor. She's also been recognized as one of the San Francisco Business Times’ 100 Most Influential Women. She has recently added author to that list with her new business book, Unstuckable. Heather and I got to sit down face-to-face less than 24 hours after she landed back home in Halifax. We talked all things Nova Scotia, being a Global Bluenoser, and how tough it is to write a book! ________________________________________________________ Get your copy of Heather's new book, Unstuckable, on Amazon today!

Growing up in Fairview, Jeff MacCharles wasn't spending much time travelling the globe. But a loss early in life taught him that life is short. He has spend his life since then exploring the world, living in different countries and making the most out of every minute. Today, Jeff joins us from his home in Dallas, Texas to talk about the importance of Nova Scotia in his story (And to also explain why a Global Bluenosers meetup in Dallas was worth the risk of being late to a class he was lecturing!) ________________________________________________________ Global Bluenosers is a Some Good Media & Entertainment production.

How does a Halifax kid end up in Nebraska!? Just like every expat journey, it's not a straight line from Home to your second home. And that's no different for Will Wong. Today, Will fills us in on how life has taken him from the family restaurant business in downtown Halifax to a rapidly growing eCommerce accelerator in Lincoln, Nebraska. Nova Scotia is never far from his mind - whether it's thinking about conquering The Wave on the Halifax waterfront or throwing on some Rankin Family tunes - Will is never far from Home in his mind. ________________________________________________ Global Bluenosers is a Some Good Media & Entertainment production.

We all know someone who is a Bluenoser-by-choice. And each person has a unique story. What has led them to fall in love with a place that isn't where they grew up - or even went to school? On today's episode, we explore that question with proud Bluenoser-by-choice, Dr. Maria Gallo. As an expert on alumni communities and diaporas, Maria is also the author of The Alumni Way, a book that I actually mentioned wayyyyy back in the pilot episode. And yes. We definitely spend time talking about our shared love of rural Firefighter Breakfasts! :D ________________________________________________ Find Maria's book (and soon, her audiobook) at thealumniway.com/the-book.

Who doesn't love some friendly competition? Season 2 launches with a "who can get more listeners" challenge by guest Stephanie Bateman to her good friend and Season 1 guest, Doug Brenton. Steph grew up in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia and moved to Toronto 10 years ago. In that time, she has benefitted from building a strong network of East Coasters who have become her closest friends. She keeps Nova Scotia close to her heart, finding ways big and small to stay connected to the province she loves.

Our Season One finale is just around the corner. And while we wait to record it, Sean takes some time to share reflections and lessons learned from this journey of speaking with Nova Scotians around the world. What is it like to be a rookie podcaster? What did these conversations team him about himself? About Nova Scotia? And about his original assumptions when Global Bluenosers launched in April 2023? Join Sean for a little bit of behind the scenes reflections - as he stalls the inevitable wrap of Season One! ________________________________________________ Come to our first meetup, Sociable! in Dallas on October 19.

Never has picking the title of an episode been more difficult. "We're just chatty by nature" was a solid option. "The locals call it the old post office" is another great choice. But the story of how locals pronounce Chezzetcook had me laughing for days. It is just too rural Nova Scotia to leave out. For Toby Schwartz of East Chezzetcook, Nova Scotia, home is never far from her mind. Despite a life filled with adventure across Asia as a Canadian diplomat, there is no denying where Toby calls Home. Add in a story about the role of Halifax's iconic Harbour Hopper in her wedding and you have yourself a classic East Coast yarn not to be missed! ____________________________________ Come to our first meetup, Sociable! in Dallas on October 19.

For Cole Harbour native, Mark Star, his ideal day of eating is pretty simple. Lobster Eggs Benedict for Breakfast. Lobster rolls for Lunch. Lobster again at supper. Then top it off with a late night Donair! Life has taken Mark from Cole Harbour to Bermuda and now to Calgary, but one thing never changes. He is 100% proud Nova Scotian in every aspect of life. Mark comes to the rescue this week after technical difficulties left us without an episode. With less than 48 hours notice, he made it happen. Why shift schedules to make it work? The episode title says it all. ____________________________________ Come to our first meetup, Sociable! in Dallas on October 19. Grab your free ticket on ⁠⁠⁠Eventbrite⁠⁠⁠.

Do you love the sound of the ocean breeze, seagulls and café background noise? If so, you're in luck! For today's episode, we took on the biggest challenge to-date. Recording an interview with Global Bluenosers, Doug Brenton, while sitting outside on a breezy summer day! Both originally from the South Shore, Doug and Sean talk all things Nova Scotia while getting sunburned in Lunenburg. An especially big thank you to Doug for using a very precious hour of your visit home to sit down for a chat. ____________________________________ Come to our first meetup, Sociable! in Dallas on October 19.

Very early in life, Kate Bray developed a curiosity for the world and dreamt of exploring beyond Nova Scotia's borders. The twists and turns of life led to Kate spending several years in Halifax after finishing University and a newfound appreciation for her home province took root. But in January 2022, she made that big move, and she now calls London home. But her love for Nova Scotia has only deepened. Kate tells us all about her journey to date and how Nova Scotia has helped shape her. And she also uses her deep culinary appreciation to add many Must Visit restaurants to each of our to-do lists! ____________________________________ Come to our first meetup, Sociable! in Dallas on October 19.

I often get asked what it takes to be a "Bluenosers". They'll talk about their connections to Nova Scotia and say they are Honourary Bluenosers. And that's something I talked with today's guest, Natalie Erb, about. My net is cast pretty wide. If you'd relationship to Nova Scotia is tight enough to be "honourary" then you're a full-fledged Bluenoser in my books! New Brunswicker, Natalie Erb, is someone who certainly counts Nova Scotia as having a large impact on her life. After you listen to the episode today, I'm sure you'll agree with me... Natalie is a Bluenoser! ____________________________________ Come to our first meetup, Sociable! in Dallas on October 19. Grab your free ticket on ⁠Eventbrite⁠.

Can you believe it? N. MacKinnon is joining the show! Neil MacKinnon from Bridgewater, Nova Scotia! Ohhhh, you thought I meant Colorado Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon? Whoops. Yes, Neil and Sean broke out the Dad jokes early in this conversation! In a first for Global Bluenosers, this was an on-site interview. Recorded in-person at the amazing LaHave Bakery on Nova Scotia's South Shore, Neil and Sean finally met face-to-face for the first time. The caffeine and sugar fuelled café visit surprisingly stays on track as we dig in on what Neil loves about his Home province, even after 12 years away in the United States. ____________________________________ Come to our first meetup, Sociable! in Dallas on October 19.

What do you do when you absolutely love your Nova Scotian homeland? Obviously, you name your company after it. And that's exactly what Steve Mason, founder and CEO of Nova Blue Technologies did! Steve grew up just outside of Halifax in a Navy family. From neighbourhood kitchen parties to regular trips to Pizza Corner, he lived the Bluenoser life. Then opportunity knocked and kickstarted his 20+ year journey as a Nova Scotian living outside the province. Sean and Steve get deep into the expat experience in this episode. They hit on everything from what creates the modern day Bluenoser attachment to Home, all the way through to why Steve would wait 2 hours in line for a basket of chicken wings. Grab a drink. Because this one is our longest episode yet! ____________________________________ Find and connect with Steve on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Have you ever seen a decor that's described as "Nova Scotia forward"? That's what you'll find in Kaleigh MacMaster's new flat in London as she surrounds herself with Home while embarking on her latest expat journey. Originally from Dartmouth, Kaleigh first moved to Toronto in 2015 and then made the jump across the pond to London in 2022. As someone who has been heavily involved in the East Coast expat community for years, she believes wholeheartedly in the power of our Nova Scotia community abroad. This week, she joins the show to tell us all about her journey from Nova Scotia to the UK - and uses the opportunity to make a public appear to find out her mom's secret to making the world's best soups. ____________________________________ Find and connect with Kaleigh on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Several years ago, Mike Burke set out to give back to a part of Canada that he has never actually lived in. But that didn't make it any less special. Mike's connection to Nova Scotia stretches back multiple generations and a few hundred years. But regular family road trips to Nova Scotia from New Jersey in the 1980s helped cement it as part of his identity. Being a Global Bluenosers has more than one definition. Mike is part of a very special group - ancestral diaspora - that represents a whole other frontier when it comes to the potential reach and influence of Nova Scotia's second population. ____________________________________ Find and connect with Mike on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

What's it like to leave your homeland and come to Nova Scotia? It's unique for every person, but just like for Nova Scotians who leave to experience life somewhere else, there are common threads across every story. In today's bonus episode, we explore the experience of making Nova Scotia your second home with three Welshmen who have become a big part of the Nova Scotia community. Will Sean get a word in with this group? You'll have listen to find out!

Some people just have "Nova Scotia" written all over them. Their personality, their perspectives, and their approach to life. Haligonian Christina Copp falls directly into that category. From a first (and short-lived) attempt at expat life in Toronto to a chance meeting on a Contiki tour that kickstarted an eight-year journey to the UK and now Australia, she has experienced the full range of emotions that come with leaving your homeland. Christina joins the show this week to talk about what Home means to her, why the Pacific Ocean just doesn't cut it, and how badly she wants her kids to experience a white Christmas. ____________________________________ Find and connect with Christina on ⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Homesickness is awful. But when helplessness is combined with homesickness, the feeling is indescribable. The wildfires that have shocked Nova Scotia over the last week are nothing less than record-breaking for the province - in all the worst ways. For the Nova Scotians living elsewhere in the world, this has been a unique experience. Being away means being both deeply connected and disconnected at the same time. Watching things unfold online and through ongoing messages from family / friends, while also needing to live their lives in their new homes where things are just normal is a surreal and lonely feeling. As we (thankfully!) watch the rain fall in Nova Scotia, host Sean Meister reaches out to expats around the world to ask them to record a few thoughts about being an expat in the time of tragedy. Many thanks to all the expats for taking the time to speak with Sean or send in audio files to make sure your voices are heard.

If you're a Nova Scotian with young children, how do you get them to fall asleep? Obviously, you convert the Stan Rogers' classic Barrett's Privateers into a lullaby! At least that's what you do if you're Peter (PJ) Harnish! PJ might be a tech entrepreneur in San Diego now, but his roots as a kid in Mill Cove, Nova Scotia will always be there - just below the surface. PJ joins the show only a couple days after a recent trip home, so with some fresh blackfly bites, the smell of ocean air still in his nose, and that strengthened Bluenoser accent, he shares all the ways that Nova Scotia has helped shape him into the person he is today. And how that impact will hopefully carry on to his kids too. ____________________________________ Donate to help those impacted by Wildfires in Nova Scotia: United Way of Halifax - Wildfire Relief Appeal Canadian Red Cross - Nova Scotia & Atlantic Canada Fire Appeal Nova Scotia SPCA (who are helping save and reunite pets with their families) - Donate Here Donate to a local Volunteer Fire Department - Find a list here ____________________________________ Find and connect with PJ on ⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠.

Becoming an expat can be difficult enough, but what if you've had to do it twice? Kwame Watkins knows the feeling of leaving Nova Scotia for new adventures very well, having left the province as a kid, who then returned for university, only to leave again to launch a successful career in the United States. Kwame was the first person to every reach out asking to be on the show and his passion for Nova Scotia comes across very clearly as he chats with Sean from an airport lounge. And stick around to the end (you always should...but definitely this time!)

Originally from Quebec, with a Maritimer father, Lynn Calder quickly found a second home in Nova Scotia when she came to Acadia University in 1977. After a career that has taken her around Canada, Lynn now lives in Pincher Creek, Alberta. But a piece of her heart remains here in Nova Scotia. Today, Lynn joins the podcast to tell Sean not just about that connection, but also the things that keep her coming back to Nova Scotia all these years later. And one of those things is her involvement in community campaigns in a part of the province many people living here still haven't visited. She is actively involved in the efforts along the French Shore to preserve impressive heritage churches - in particular, the stunning Saint Bernard Church in Digby County. She tells us today about this important fundraising campaign that ends soon and why it's important to preserve this cornerstone of the community. ____________________________________ Find and connect with Lynn on ⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠.

There's something about being from the East Coast that motivates people to a life of service. Mike Kennedy exemplifies this in how he has lived his life both in Nova Scotia and now in his new home of Rossland, British Columbia. Born in Kentville, raised in Porters Lake, with his formative years at Acadia University and now using everything he has learned from those experiences to give back to his community. It's been more years than we'd want to admit since Sean and Mike were at Acadia, but it seems like yesterday once they get talking. In this week's episode, hear all about how Nova Scotia much has impacted Mike, which extreme adventures he recommends for people visiting his home province, and why I've coined a new term for him - Baconpreneur. ____________________________________ Find and connect with Mike on ⁠LinkedIn⁠.

The first time I ever exchanged messages with Olivia McDonald, she asked how she could help promote Nova Scotia and products made here in her new home of London. If you speak with her for any amount of time, you soon realize just how genuine she is in that offer to help. On this week's episode, we learn more about the relationship Olivia has with her home province and why Nova Scotia will always be close to her heart even after eight years of living overseas. Like most expats, the list of reasons is long. From a guest appearance by my dog to a call for help in sourcing decent dill pickles, this one has a bit of everything! ____________________________________ Find and connect with Olivia on ⁠LinkedIn⁠, and follow her travels on Instagram through @livonashoestring.

There was a time in Emma Robertson's life that she dreamed of a life away from Nova Scotia. Oh, how things have changed! Now living in London, Emma could easily compete for the title of unofficial tourism ambassador for Nova Scotia in her new home. Considering she once worked on the campaign to develop the original Halifax Visitor Guide, she's probably closer to being an official ambassador. Emma takes some time out of her busy life as a marketer to chat with Sean about everything she loves and misses about her home province. In classic Nova Scotia fashion, the conversation crosses over a huge range of topics - from the strength in being an underdog to Salvatore's Hero sandwich.

Nick Scrymgeour is someone who doesn't easily forget his roots. Originally from Lower Sackville, he drew inspiration from his grandparents' hard work and determination to become a successful entrepreneur in the highly competitive industry of technology recruitment. On today's episode of Global Bluenosers, we get to know more about why Nick continues to give back to his home community in every way possible. And why he'll never stop being a Bluenoser, no matter how long he is away. **Warning** - this episode includes "best" garlic finger and pizza recommendations, so we know it will spark healthy debate. Please stay professional. ____________________________________ Find and connect with Nick on LinkedIn. Global Bluenosers is a Some Good Media & Entertainment production.

Born and raised Texan Charles Gillis, is one of the most passionate Nova Scotians a person can find.  That's right, we're starting the Global Bluenosers journey right at what some would consider the outer edge of the Bluenoser definition. The "Friend of Nova Scotia". Charles didn't lay eyes on Nova Scotia until into adulthood, but he quickly made up for lost time. Now a self-described Bluenoser by choice, Charles has been spreading the news about Nova Scotia to anyone who will listen across the southern United States for years. He promotes tourism, he encourages investor trips to Halifax, and he helps Nova Scotia companies find customers in the US market. If that isn't a Nova Scotian, I don't know what is! Sean and Charles reconnect to chat about which Nova Scotia products he wishes were on store shelves in Dallas, how he first fell in love with this province, why American investors should look very closely at Nova Scotia, and which NS Craft Beers top his list. And he also makes a very good case for why you should always enter photo contests. ____________________________________ Find and connect with Charles on LinkedIn.
