Conversation with the Vancouver Business Journal

February 9th, 2009

I recently had the opportunity to interview John McDonagh, the publisher of the Vancouver Business Journal. John is a great guy with an interesting perspective on publishing and on local business. You won’t want to miss this one.

Perhaps of surprise to some business owners is that the Vancouver Business Journal wants to hear from you when you have news of interest to their readers. Unfortunately that does not include your special offers for Mother’s Day but it does include local angles to national stories, significant new sales orders, people news and other topics. To get the full list you will have to listen to the interview.

Of extra bonus is that to me he also sounds a little bit like Sean Connery. I’m not sure why as he isn’t Scottish (he’s of Irish descent) but there is something in his voice that evokes the Highlands. Perhaps I’m just losing my tenuous touch with reality or am in need of a vacation!

Don’t forget to visit the Vancouver Business Journal website to sign-up for their e-newsletter or to perhaps like me, to get your subscription to the printed paper.
