Our chats will be just that ~ very conversational, not entirely sensible and with any luck totally enjoyable. And today’s show – well, it was all that and then some! Now, for the sake of full transparency, our very special guest is a dear friend of mine from way, way back in the day at Western University. We were both living in Brescia College, and how lucky I was that her room was right across the hall from mine. Our connection was instant, and oh, the times! Late-night chats, and parties and study sessions, and well… you name it. We had such high hopes and grand plans, and while the world has afforded us both so many dreams come true –but as a life path often does, we drifted apart with only Christmas cards and social media posts to tether us together. I mention all of that so you’ll know how truly jubilant I was to see her beautiful face all over Instagram when she launched her lovely new company, Marigold Tiger. Always the picture of style ~ there she was, now the face of a lifestyle brand designed to inspire happiness through their collection of fashion, jewelry and décor. WOW right!!! So naturally, I had to have her on to celebrate and chat about this new dream come true… and so much more, including her super cool career path that led her to London’s fashion scene and some of the industry’s most stylish magazines. We’ll discover how she was called into active duty at CBC after Princess Diana’s passing and hear how she’s called on her sweet family and adoring customers to show off Marigold Tiger’s style. She’ll even share some tips for aspiring entrepreneurs who are looking to follow in her fashionable footsteps. Plus, we’ll get to 1st Things First, play a delightful round of INsights IN 10 and even spin some of her favourite tunes along the way. So with all that ahead, we’d best get to it. Here’s my telephone conversation with Marigold Tiger’s fabulous founder and incredible creative director – the one and only Gina Maier. (you’ll find player at the bottom on the post)
