Parcelle Wine Studio is my most recent venture. Check video link below. It is a platform that creates and delivers events / engagements in what you might traditionally call hospitality around wine, food, education, speaking, whatever. I go several steps beyond and define it as a platform for 'restoration' - inspired from the word 'restaur-ant'. Restaurants which originally meant to be spaces of nurture, to feed, or to converse and connect with people, a community hub of sorts. You should/would leave feeling elated and invigorated Parcelle aims to engage with individual, people, companies and collaborators with this in mind. In a tailored curated way. It is more than just hospitality its is an engagement that it not necessarily better, you will know and feel that is simply different!

How a short walk and a conversation with a vendor at a farmers' market, can help inspire fundamental transformational change throughout a city. 🏗🥕 It’s real now.  The announcement was made. The dignitaries and media assembled and left. The hoarding is up. Skilled women and men now toil within the bowels of the arena to make it the epi-centre of live music in Canada. Not Toronto or Montreal or Vancouver. (They likely won't bother reading this news if they see it at all). Its the City Of Hamilton.  But the greatest takeaway yesterday was not reported.  It hasn’t been spoken of that I’ve noticed.  But I heard it from Tim Leiweke and Tom Pistore and Josh Epstein of the Oak View Group.  An anecdote that Tim relayed at his formal remarks at the arena that was followed by a remarkable commitment. A commitment he repeated yesterday evening at a wonderful celebration hosted by another venerable community institution, The Hamilton Club. It goes something like this. As Tim was walking back from the arena announcement to the Hamilton Club he walked through our wonderful Farmers' Market. He talked with venders. And, in a moment of inspiration, summonsed his leadership team to come over.  They talked with our hard working small business people about their work and products.  And a thought took root which Tim passionately communicated last night.   As an organization committed to positive impact, working with partners like HUPEG, sharing a resolve to steward the transformation of our downtown, what if the Oak View Group and Live Nation Entertainment and its partners prioritized procuring food from the Hamilton Farmers' Market? Set aside for a moment the prospect of having the world’s greatest musical acts appear in our city.  And reflect on the impact to these small businesses and their families of this facility committing to procure from them?   This from one short walk and and an accidental collision. Now imagine a comprehensive long term sustainable focus on broad based community impact from this massive 'seed investment' and the follow on investments and commercial activity it will catalyze, supplemented and supported by local leaders and involving every ward in our city. Actually there is no need to imagine it. Because we’ve created it. It’s called the The Commons.  If this is what comes from the short walk of one brilliant business leader, just think of what will come from the countless future walks, conversations and inspirations of the many other credentialed and aspirational business leaders to follow?? And as importantly, all the rest of us from every walk of life aspiring to help create a better city. This is the POWER of a vibrant, dynamic, business environment. The collisions and innovations that it spawns. And of business leaders - small, medium and large - who grind everyday to make things better. Thank you Mr. Leiweke. #GameonCommons https://lnkd.in/gQTzHUMc

💡 This week’s spotlight shines a light on Jacob Beaton, an award-winning Indigenous entrepreneur and leader with a number of business successes under his belt.   Jacob traces his heritage to Haida Gwaii, Heiltsuk (Bella Bella), Gitxaala (Tsimshian), and the British Isles. He has the name Dzapł Gygyaawn Sgyiik (an eagle who gets it done right now) from the Gispaxloats tribe.   Tea Creek , his latest project, is an Indigenous-led, culturally safe, land-based Indigenous food sovereignty and trades training initiative. Read the full article to learn about Tea Creek, Indigenous food sovereignty, and the new Tea Creek documentary directed by @Ryan Dickie and produced by Ben Cox with executive producer Caroline Cox. SNEAK PEEK: VFR: Tell us about the power of Tea Creek and how it’s transforming individual lives. 🌿 Jacob Beaton: The power of Tea Creek is that it’s all about people. It’s about love. It’s about love and care for one another in a safe way. 🌿 We need to bring that back – this was something that was stripped from us. We’ve been taught self-hate, and we cover a bit of this in the documentary. One of our trainees talks about being taught to be oppressed and then how to oppress each other.                   🌿 At Tea Creek, we start to strip that away and to come back down to that place of caring for each other. It’s about being safe with each other. 🌿 Everyone wants to know Tea Creek’s secret ingredient. We had someone come here to Tea Creak, and this fellow spent the day with us here, and he’s like, “I figured it out.” I said, “What? Tell me!” And he’s like, “It’s love.” And it really is, but in a safe way. I don’t say that a lot because love can be a such a polluted, unsafe thing for so many people. 🌿 But at Tea Creak, that’s really what it boils down to. It’s not just love for each other as humans, but it’s love for the soil, love for Mother Earth, for all living things. It’s all stripped down to the core.
