British Columbians love beer and, as witnessed by the recent proliferation of breweries, craft brewing is a good business proposition. But success is not built on beer alone. SFU CED instructor and founder of Persephone Brewing, Brian Smith, talks about the importance of building and maintaining relationships in business development. Persephone, a B-corp on the Sunshine Coast is not only selling a terrific amount of beer, but is also having positive impacts in the community in its pursuit of the triple bottom line (social, environmental and financial success).
