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 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.
