In this Season 1 Finale - I'm speaking with the man who started me on my journey into podcasting. I will forever be grateful for that conversation we had in early January of 2024 that started this whole thing.

In this episode, I'm talking with Danial Cornacchia from Dancor Landscapes in Markham, Ontario about growing up in a construction family, his journey from being a design-build into transitioning to design and project management, the importance of mental health and not struggling alone, our mutual love for sticky notes and Ginkgo trees and of course - beer!
