A Special 6-Part Podcast Series in Partnership with the Town of Bracebridge, Ontario

In the heart of Muskoka, home to some of Canada’s finest nature & cottage escapes, there lies a town called Bracebridge.

It’s a place you can come to create, to taste & to truly live. There’s nothing quite like it.

Which is why I’m so excited to bring you a special 6 episode series in partnership with this magical little town.

I’ll be sitting down with local shop owners, restaurateurs, visionary entrepreneurs, artists … & above all… kind hearted individuals who love sharing a little piece of the town they live in.

Bracebridge, Ontario is the perfect place to escape for adventure, for relaxation & to live out your OWN most visionary life.

Be sure to stay in the loop with what’s going on at @visitthebridge on Instagram.

Let’s get to know today’s guest, Krystal Darling!

She is a Mama, a kick-ass entrepreneur of not 1 but 2 businesses, and she’s a lover of all things fashion – like seriously, her style is amazing and I wish I had her wardrobe. 

I first connected with Krystal while searching for my dream wedding dress – a quest that took me all the way to Bracebridge Ontario, since I knew her shop had the exact dress that I was searching for. It was so serendipitous & it just so happened, Dave and I had chosen a wedding venue just a few minutes away from the shop, as well. 

My experience working with Krystal was nothing short of amazing. She made the whole experience super comfortable and enjoyable – especially for someone like me, who barely ever gets out of her lululemons and tank tops.

With an eye for unique and beautiful pieces –  owning two boutique businesses is not just Krystal’s job, it’s her passion. 

She also owns a shop called Belle’s Boutique, which is a carefully curated clothing shop that offers an array of exclusive fashion brands for women. 

Also, might I point out that Krystal and I recorded this just days before she gave birth to her 2nd baby boy, Watson. Congrats, Krystal!

In this episode, we chat about…

  • How she’s been able to build something so much greater than just a retail store

  • The challenges she faced in starting a clothing business in a small & seasonal town

  • Why she decided to launch her second business, Darling Bridal Boutique in addition to owning & running Belle’s Boutique

  • Importance of partnerships, collaboration  & getting involved in your community

  • & so much more

121 How do YOU define Success?

NEW EPISODE OF THE VISIONARY DIARIES


New Podcast - How do you define success?
DSC_8468.jpg

New Podcast

How do you define success?

In this mini episode with Kelsey, we’ll chat about Success Strategies aka How We Win.

Defined:

It’s how we show up, contribute & create –
while generating revenue & achieving all other success metrics.

It looks different for everyone (how you define success in life & business) and it’s important to know your metrics.

Wanna know HOW WE WIN as visionaries?

1. We show up daily and get visible to our audiences

2. We believe in ourselves and work on our mindset each day

3. We don’t always abide by the process and instead we choose to follow our own formats

4. We stay current in our industries, always learning what is working and what is not

5. We help others win and practice generosity with our knowledge

In the heart of Muskoka, home to some of Canada’s finest nature & cottage escapes, there lies a town called Bracebridge.

Which is why I’m so excited to bring you a special 6 episode series in partnership with this magical little town.

Bracebridge, Ontario is the perfect place to escape for adventure, for relaxation & to live out your OWN most visionary life.

Be sure to stay in the loop with what’s going on at @visitthebridge on Instagram.

Let’s get to know today’s guests, Jed Corbeil & Curt Dunlop.

To kick off season 6 and our 6 episode partnership with the town of Bracebridge Ontario, I’m sitting down with Curt Dunlop & Jed Corbeil –  childhood friends turned multi-passionate business partners who are the power duo behind Muskoka Naturals Foods, The Griffin Pub, and many other exciting business ventures, together. 

If you also identify as a multi-passionate, have ever considered going into business with your Best Friend, or if love stories about taking leaps & riding the waves of entrepreneurship – this episode is for you.

In this conversation, we chat about…

  • Why Jed & Curt decided to start a restaurant, especially given that they have NO previous experience in the industry

  • What their challenges & major milestones have been since getting into business, together

  • How they found their niche among many other dining options in their town

  • Their approach to writing business plans for each new venture they pursue & what to consider if YOU are also considering writing a upcoming business plan

  • What new projects they have coming down the pipeline (they are always scheming up the next venture!)

  • & SO MUCH MORE

I’ve been looking forward to sharing this interview with you for quite some time. It’s a fun conversation. Jed & Curt are not only super fun & playful, but they’re also very savvy in the entrepreneurial space and above all, I’d consider them visionaries of their town. – making it better with each idea they bring to life.

Oh and one last thing, I can’t wait for you to hear the story that Curt tells towards the end of the show about how they ended up at a public cooking demo, in cowboy attire, strumming their guitars & handing out beer samples – unexpectedly – in order to salvage an event they were part of.
