Do not let people who are not willing to take chances, willing to change or willing to hear the young people in the room dictate your future. I've built my own in spite of them.

I always pitched, and I wanted to be ambitious, but Canadian media was and still is stuck in the same cycles that inhibit its talent from being themselves. Working with creators and being able to guide their careers has been a blessing and a big testament to what I always knew I could accomplish.

I didn't have any comedy management experience before working with Hassan, but we believed in each other. What I felt I understood, and what I believe my former employers and bosses always undervalued, was my ingenuity, deep understanding of strategy and how to connect with an audience.

This past weekend, we sold out three shows at the same venue. No other headliner, no other acts announced. On our merit. We had two sponsors work with us who want to re-up their deals. We executed in every facet, and we generated 3x the revenue as the previous year.

Throughout the year, we continued to grow and grow. He hit 100K on Instagram and TikTok, and while that number doesn't seem significant, our engagement was 50% and, at times, hit a peak of 98% - which is unheard of.

In 2024, we were ambitious, did a dual headliner, and sold 1,900 tickets—two sold-out shows at the iconic and stunning Winter Garden Theatre.

Yeah, absolutely correct on your end. I just don't think the unions, despite having data and ability to connect to their members, fully understand how to educate their members on the impact of voting within their specific regions. The PACs are underfunded and a lot of talk, with little action.

Also, I have to wonder, what if Freeland didn't write that letter. What would've happened to Trudeau's career?

Texted and interacted with a few sources in Liberal camps and they're overjoyed it was Carney who won. Again, Liberals, who worked with Freeland for 10 years preferred Carney because of how Freeland's resignation letter and failed coup d'etat.

More to this, you have to wonder if there is room for Freeland moving forward in the party. I imagine a lot of Trudeau’s senior leadership will be staying on with Mark Carney.

kind of wild to see so many people share his work and RT him on all things.

This is also the first full year I've had where I've been disabled. It has been humbling and dramatically continued to shift my thinking about society, ableism and the constructs in which people without wealth endure.
