For more than a century, Albertans have celebrated a collective entrepreneurial spirit. A bold, scrappy, "never say die" attitude. But does that hard-wired reputation actually translate into a better business environment? We talk to Alberta's best in class in this episode - a Real Talk Round Table featuring Alberta Business Award of Distinction winners.  2:15 | How does a good idea evolve into a profitable business? What's the best way to navigate innovation and disruption? How do you turn passion into purpose? We get into it with Ayman Ammoura (The Driving Force), Kevin Fritz (Fritz Tiny Homes), Kaley Beisiegel (Bird Creatives), Alana Tollenaar (Backyard Birds Nature Shop), and Shauna Feth (Alberta Chambers of Commerce).  CHECK OUT ALBERTA CHAMBERS: https://www.abchamber.ca/ ACC ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@albertachambersofcommerce520/playlists ALBERTA BUSINESS AWARDS: https://abbusinessawards.com/ 58:25 | Real Talkers are FIRED UP over Sophie Grégoire Trudeau's comments about ADHD on Real Talk (June 26).
