Ted's entrepreneurship journey is all about solving problems that help people. He is focused on the health & wellness, clean-tech, environment and health-tech industries. In 2005 he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease which changed the direction of his life. As part of that change he decided to give up alcohol but still wanted to enjoy the taste and social experience that comes with beer. At that time, most non-alcoholic beer was underwhelming, and he felt ignored as a consumer. That was the problem he resolved to solve through Partake Brewing - now the leading non-alcoholic beer brand in Canada! He has created over $100M in economic value, positively impacted millions of people, and led teams of up to 50 employees, contractors, and consultants. Currently, he is Founder & Board Member at Partake Brewing (ex-CEO), and President at Agawa. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dylanconroy/support

Kristine's values are leadership, authenticity, personal development, and not being an asshole. A good friend of hers who passed away in 2020 wrote in his Instagram bio, "it costs $0.00 to be a nice person," and it's a mantra she's since adopted in his honor. She believes that kindness is a rare resource that we can offer freely, generously. She built her career in the agency world, managing global teams and overseeing the execution of social media strategies and integrated campaigns for enterprise tech companies. She attributes much of her success not to her marketing prowess (though some of that too), but to Her ability to build relationships, foster connection, and give a genuine shit about the teams that she leads. She believes that teams thrive when measures of empathy are prioritized over measures of productivity, and it's her goal to create environments where everyone feels safe. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dylanconroy/support
