Happy Fathers Day! Fun fact: our Mascot and Logo at Business #1 whom we affectionately call "Dr. Brent" is actually a caricature of my Father. When I started working on the business in 2014 when I was 18 years old, it was also around the same time my father had retired from his long career as a public school teacher. Being retired, he had a lot more extra time, and offered "if you ever need any help, let me know" Months before our official launch, we were still using the image of a Shrugging Doctor that we found on Google that we had no rights to use. So we had a thought... what if we got ny father to pose for us. Dr. Brent was born! Using a stolen stethoscope, borrowed tie, and lab coat purchased from the University science lab, we dressed "Dr. Brent" up and took a photoshoot. After going through some iterations we got a local graphic designer to drawn the logo based on the photo- and the rest is history! Thanks Dad, and Happy Father's Day!

Thanks to the Whiteshell Echo for a story in the most recent issue about our Whiteshell Vodka Soda - So crazy that you named a magazine after our drink! We are so humbled. We even heard that they named a Provincial Park after our drink! Wow! But in seriousness, thank you. 🙏 – at Winnipeg, Manitoba

Starting a Trucking Business - Launching, Cashflow, Growing & Exiting w/ @Lovey1973 Willows has been an business owner since he as 18 years old, a feat that he's starting to realize isn't typical for most entrepreneurs. Enter, Dividend Dave, who starts a trucking business at the ripe age of 39 (or something). Join the conversation as the boys discuss Dave quitting his job to start his company. Acquiring clients, hiring and subcontracting, cash flowing, an eventual exit strategy, and of course, getting replaced by autonomous robot drivers.

The end of 2024... I've come a long way in business in the past 10 years, and I feel like I've finally broken the mental barrier this year. After some more trauma, I've found out a lot about myself and my goals. I have some surprises in 2025. Thank you, and stay tuned. and especially for my Drunk Dividends Crew: @NewcomerInvest @Lovey1973 @ALLCAPSfinance @CDInewsletter @DimitryNakhla @SettlingNomads @kinginvestings @DividendKingTSX @thewealthtrap @Investmentkage @WinnipegInvstr @BlueKoalaa @YourMoneyCoyote @RomesBlog @Dividend_Learn @invest_venturer @SnowVilleD @DividendRob @TheStocksKing It's been so nice connecting with like minded people - I genuinely have 1 or 2 people in my personal life that care about my business and investing, and I seem to have found such a great crew here on X. Happy New Year - Cheers to your 2025 my friends. (I scheduled this Tweet this morning because by the time you are reading this I will be in the weeds bartending my New Years Party and will not be on my phone lol)

in the 1930s, the stamp company I own (which I usually call "business #2" on here) shared an office with the Swedish Consulate in Downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. My company will have it's 93rd anniversary next year. Per Maple Leaf Rubber Stamp: "When we were located in the Historic Birt Saddlery Building located at 468 Main Street in Winnipeg’s Downtown, we famously shared the office building with the Swedish Consulate 🇸🇪. This was the 1930s and we were called "Maple Leaf Stamp & Stencil" at the time!"

HOW I FOUNDED A WINERY AT 18 YEARS OLD For the first time on X, here is "The Founding of Shrugging Doctor Beverage Company" originally recorded in June 2021. @ShrugDoc Whether you're a new follower or old, I am always happy and passionate to share the story of my baby. The company that I built with my business partner from homebrewing in the basement to a business worth millions. In the video I focus on how we were founded and my mentality during that time. I go over the struggles, the funding, what inspired us, and how we put it all together. Appreciate you all - let me know what you think!
