Currently happening in @Barneys_Tavern - our D-Day Veteran friend Marty Jones. Seaman First Class and Gunner on the HMCS Prince Henry.

This conversation with @ShawnKanungo was a total banger for me. He is exceptionally talented as an innovation, AI and disruption thinker and an even stronger presenter.

Check out the full episode here or head over to https://t.co/BJTQzUifNR for more info.

You have to respect the hustle. Media may be screwed, but journalism is profoundly important. Also a craft. Enjoyed this chat with @VassyKapelos.

[Barney's Tavern 🍺 @Barneys_Tavern]

This is so true and a great comment by @VassyKapelos. From our last episode, On economic uncertainty..

"In my real life I am surrounded by people who work a tonne and they still feel like .. they're moving backwards"

Episode 3 has dropped.

[Chris LaBossiere @ChrisLaBossiere]

I am so grateful for the opportunity to have @VassyKapelos as a guest on @Barneys_Tavern. Her 20 year career from Swift Current, Saskatchewan to the biggest seat in her business. All hard earned. She is whip-smart and perfectly spoken - it was fun.

"In the second episode of Barney's Tavern, Chris LaBossiere sits down with Lieutenant General Omer Lavoie, CMM, MSC, CD — one of Canada's most decorated combat commanders — for an honest conversation about what it truly costs to serve."

@PeterJ_Boyle Yes! I had currie on my mind. I stand corrected!

[Barney's Tavern 🍺 @Barneys_Tavern]

The last Canadian to receive the Victoria Cross was Major David Currie at Normandy - August 19, 1944.

Korea. Cyprus. Bosnia. Kosovo. Afghanistan.

82 years. No Victoria Cross.

Private Jess LaRochelle fought wounded and alone in Kandahar and saved his platoon. His commanding general was there. He says Jess earned it.

16,000 Canadians signed the petition. It goes to Parliament on April 15.

New episode drops tomorrow and the general makes his case. #cdnpoli

So @babiak and I simply had to get into Make Something Edmonton history on the https://t.co/BJTQzUifNR podcast. #yeg

I hope to drop a conversation every couple weeks. And capture better screen grabs ;)

Recording Episode Two of @Barneys_Tavern - a conversation with one of Canada's most experienced Generals - admired most by his soldiers.

Considered the "father figure" to nearly a whole army. He has seen it all and will shed some light on leading & the cost of service.

My full endorsement of @HansenSpirits's Mini YEGG's Cream Liqueur from our @Barneys_Tavern taping yesterday.

The whiskey makes the drinking difference but the chocolate and candy flavour is wildly accurate if you're a fan of the OG. 🐣

[Chris LaBossiere @ChrisLaBossiere]

Just wrapped my first @Barneys_Tavern conversation and will publish it later this week. It's going to have glitches and I will quite possibly suck at many parts of it.

But it's time to get some long-form thoughts and conversations out there.

Coming one month from now: @Barneys_Tavern.

I am nervous and excited. A labour of love I have wanted create for a few years now.

Sending guest invites across the country and grateful that @babiak will be my first.

[Barney's Tavern 🍺 @Barneys_Tavern]

Excited to share our new home on the web. The space is taking shape—come have a look.

I’ve been building a new project called Barney’s Tavern.

Step one: give it a sound. AI built using @suno.
