The Joint Jumps in June

It's June...
The month when days start at 5 am...and end after 9 pm. The month when marriage is in the air, the flowers are in full bloom and yes...the month that marks the end of school and the start of summer vacation. It's a beautiful time of year...and to honour this month we've got another great line-up of shows planned to help you run and succeed in your business venture.

We've got topics on money, success, motivation, and management.

We've got authors, local business owners, experts, leaders and more on as guests.

On behalf of my team at the Small Business Big Ideas Show, Jennifer Hough, Garth Riley and Daryl Maclean...enjoy the month and the shows!


Cheers/David Cohen
