[00:00] SPEAKER_01: Welcome to Canada's podcast.
[00:05] SPEAKER_01: All right ladies and gentlemen welcome to Canada's podcast. My name is
[00:11] SPEAKER_01: Rivers Corbett. I am so fortunate to be on the Atlantic Coast because that's
[00:17] SPEAKER_01: where entrepreneurship is alive and well and be the host for this region and
[00:23] SPEAKER_01: today just thrilled to have a great friend, a great colleague. Just one of those
[00:28] SPEAKER_01: guys that well he knows that I love the depth and he just oozes entrepreneurship
[00:34] SPEAKER_01: has been a part of many educational institutions and I wanted to bring Dr. Danny Brown into
[00:41] SPEAKER_01: the conversation today because he just plays in a different level of entrepreneurship
[00:47] SPEAKER_01: yet a very important play in that level. So Dr. Danny Brown, Dr. B Danny, actually what
[00:56] SPEAKER_01: the kids call you Dr. B? Dr. B. Yeah, Dr. B right on. Welcome to the Canada's podcast Dr. B.
[01:03] SPEAKER_01: We're just thrilled to have you on here today. Thanks and it's great to be here always when I'm
[01:08] SPEAKER_01: with you. It's a good time. We do. We have a lot of fun don't we? We had the last time we
[01:13] SPEAKER_01: chat it. We were talking with an and a very esteemed group of international students of yours
[01:18] SPEAKER_01: and who always do have great questions always always always. They're so into it and
[01:24] SPEAKER_01: and I got to say this to awfully polite. They're a very alike group of individuals too. So
[01:30] SPEAKER_01: just a little bit of Danny's background he's been an educator for over 40 years.
[01:36] SPEAKER_01: In the last couple of years he's been flirting with the R-word specializing in entrepreneurship.
[01:43] SPEAKER_01: He was the executive director of the International Business and Entrepreneurship Center at UNB
[01:51] SPEAKER_01: Service Professor and Administrator and Higher Education at two amazing universities in
[01:57] SPEAKER_01: Atlanta Canada and just you know he's he's got a lovely family unfortunately and he knows
[02:05] SPEAKER_01: I'm going to jab him about this. He's a Toronto Maple Leaf fan but he's a true Toronto Maple Leaf fan.
[02:13] SPEAKER_01: So on that note before I get before I get into the conversation what was going through your
[02:19] SPEAKER_01: head my friend when the Montreal Canadians were heading to the final of the Stanley Cup
[02:26] SPEAKER_01: after of course ceremoniously not un-zeromonesly I think it was all part of the plan to be
[02:32] SPEAKER_01: the Leafson 7. So what went through your head when you saw that happening? Well you know as a
[02:38] SPEAKER_00: grandfather I re-failed miserably at getting any of my grandkids to be Maple Leafs fans and
[02:46] SPEAKER_00: the two oldest boys and Habs fans. Oh yeah. And so when the Leafs were out and the Habs were left
[02:55] SPEAKER_00: my wife jumped on the Habs bandwagon really fast I crawled on. It just very very reluctantly
[03:05] SPEAKER_00: but because I love my grandson so much I had to support them to some degree. Yeah. Yeah.
[03:12] SPEAKER_01: It hurt. Of course it hurt. It totally hurt. It's like I've got of course 11 for Tom Brady
[03:20] SPEAKER_01: who's now at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but and I wish him well but I'm a patriot's fan for sure.
[03:26] SPEAKER_01: So yeah fun stuff all around. Fun stuff all around. We'll look at Dr. Beatle. Let's
[03:31] SPEAKER_01: kind of dive into this whole environment of entrepreneurship and what I want to touch into something
[03:36] SPEAKER_01: for personally first of all why did you pick the route of becoming an educator in that environment?
[03:44] SPEAKER_01: What was that pulling force that you said I need to go get a PhD in entrepreneurship?
[03:52] SPEAKER_00: Well really if you want to go back far enough I was raised in a situation where you know
[04:00] SPEAKER_00: we didn't have a whole lot. My mom was a single mom and I learned very early on that if I was
[04:06] SPEAKER_00: going to make things have things happen in my life I was going to have to make them happen myself
[04:11] SPEAKER_00: and I think I think that's an entrepreneurial spirit. You know that has been with me from early days
[04:19] SPEAKER_00: and I've often told my students you know don't wait for somebody else to solve your problem
[04:25] SPEAKER_00: solve your problem yourself and in doing that you'll solve other people's problems as well.
[04:31] SPEAKER_01: Yes I love it. I love it. Yeah and dude you come from a family like I'm 40 45 kids or something don't
[04:38] SPEAKER_01: you? I think it's around up to there so 17. 17. Yeah I saw picture the other day on there and so
[04:45] SPEAKER_01: Kudos to your mom to keep the family together Kudos to you to bring in that spirit of entrepreneurship
[04:51] SPEAKER_01: and so so what are the areas that you're now finding are regular conversations around the topic
[05:04] SPEAKER_01: of entrepreneurship that are happening in the public and then I want to get into what you think
[05:10] SPEAKER_00: they should be talking about. Yeah well in education I've noticed in the last probably seven to
[05:18] SPEAKER_00: 10 years a big push on experiential learning and I know it's a bit of a buzz word but you know
[05:25] SPEAKER_00: back in the day again because of an at this for a long time our schools used to have a lot more
[05:30] SPEAKER_00: experiential learning when they had you know industrial arts when they had business education
[05:35] SPEAKER_00: and home economics and stuff like that and that's been moved out of the public schools for the large part
[05:41] SPEAKER_00: but we know pedagogically too that people learn by doing so unfortunately for those of us who
[05:49] SPEAKER_00: lecture a lot research shows that students don't pay attention much to lectures. If you can get
[05:55] SPEAKER_00: them to do something they'll learn it much faster and so we've got to continue to do more to the
[06:02] SPEAKER_00: second part of your question to bring more experiences into the learning process for the students and
[06:09] SPEAKER_00: I think what we're doing here at Crandall is speaking to that a bit because we're trying to to make
[06:15] SPEAKER_00: the course is so much more interactive the masters of management programs specifically that we
[06:21] SPEAKER_00: offer has has an internship component to it and so they take a whole semester where they're out
[06:29] SPEAKER_00: in the in the business learning and working and it's been a very successful thing and it's one of the
[06:35] SPEAKER_00: very marketable things that's drawing students to our program. I love it just for reference point
[06:41] SPEAKER_01: ladies and gentlemen and Dr. B also was professor at the college of Cape Breton I think that's
[06:47] SPEAKER_01: that's the way you describe it. College Cape Breton University. It started off as a college
[06:54] SPEAKER_00: though in my retirement class like Francis Xavier junior college originally.
[07:02] SPEAKER_00: Yeah it's like Crandall it's had many different names over the years but yeah it's a CBU
[07:07] SPEAKER_00: Cape Breton University yeah and by nine years there I want to say for everybody we're amazing I
[07:14] SPEAKER_00: learned so much there and really had a life-changing experience with the international students there.
[07:20] SPEAKER_01: Yeah so that's that's kind of where I want to go next and thank you for that I just want to
[07:23] SPEAKER_01: have the reference point is that you know you are an accomplished you've been a journeyed man
[07:28] SPEAKER_01: with regards to your education but also in helping to educate those people that are in doing
[07:34] SPEAKER_01: entrepreneurship. I want to talk about international business but then I want to talk about business
[07:38] SPEAKER_01: in Atlantic Canada from an entrepreneurial perspective so what are you experiencing? What are you
[07:43] SPEAKER_01: seeing if they're internationally that for entrepreneurs they really you know what are the
[07:50] SPEAKER_01: the top three things four things what are some elements you're coaching somebody that wants to do
[07:55] SPEAKER_01: international business we're used to doing dealing with the economic agencies the opportunity
[08:01] SPEAKER_01: forensics of the world of Nova Scotia, Anxious the world telling us what we need to do. From an
[08:06] SPEAKER_01: educate from an academic perspective what are those what are those nuggets of wisdom that you can
[08:13] SPEAKER_01: bring to the Atlantic Canadian entrepreneurs that we're now talking to? Well Atlantic Canada is
[08:20] SPEAKER_00: no different than the rest of the world right now we're we're seeing the diversity we're seeing
[08:25] SPEAKER_00: the multiculturalism hit us in every employment sector there is and so we want our students to
[08:33] SPEAKER_00: realize that what they're seeing in the classroom is just the microcosm of what's out there in
[08:38] SPEAKER_00: workplace as well and we're we're seeing our international students are coming very much with
[08:46] SPEAKER_00: the entrepreneurial spirit in mind they would they want to make it happen they want to make their
[08:51] SPEAKER_00: own way they're not looking for a handout and so many of our students have already started
[08:56] SPEAKER_00: several businesses actually here in mountain all because of you know they saw a need and they
[09:03] SPEAKER_00: fill it you know the old marketing you know mantra find the gap and fill it and that's what they've
[09:10] SPEAKER_00: been doing and and so for them I think for international entrepreneurs one of the things that
[09:19] SPEAKER_00: seems to be I wouldn't say missing but not necessarily understood the way that you know we would
[09:26] SPEAKER_00: hear in the west is the idea of customer service so that's a little bit of a of a hill to climb
[09:33] SPEAKER_00: but as soon as they get it man they got it and they they they they jump right into it very quickly
[09:40] SPEAKER_01: do you give us an example of that's an interesting segue here what do you mean they don't understand
[09:44] SPEAKER_00: customer service well customer service we we know how important it is to us here in North America
[09:52] SPEAKER_00: but customer service is not you know something that is understood in the same way around the world
[09:59] SPEAKER_00: there's there's some places where you know take it or leave it and that's the attitude and that's
[10:03] SPEAKER_00: the culture but the culture in North America is customer is number one and we need to server customers
[10:11] SPEAKER_00: and be nice to our customers yes you know because our customers are our existence and if we don't
[10:16] SPEAKER_01: have customers we don't have a business so let me ask you this question if I'm if I'm doing business
[10:21] SPEAKER_01: in one of these areas what sort of these geographical areas which regions that that take it or leave
[10:26] SPEAKER_00: it can you give me an example of that well I don't want to you know act disparagingly or speak
[10:32] SPEAKER_00: disparaging in any country you know so but there are places you know where it's just it's another
[10:39] SPEAKER_01: it's another way of life does it become okay so here's where I was getting at does it become a
[10:44] SPEAKER_01: competitive advantage then as an international launchpreneur to go I'm gonna go in there and give
[10:50] SPEAKER_01: me a lot of an attention that they had me before or or is that region just gonna be I mean
[10:55] SPEAKER_01: systems because we talk a lot with entrepreneurs about you've got to assimilate yourself into
[11:01] SPEAKER_01: the environment you're going into you've got to learn their culture and so on so is that an
[11:07] SPEAKER_01: example though of no actually that's a competitive advantage it is and so it's interesting I
[11:14] SPEAKER_00: I used to say to the students because when I was at Cape Breton University oftentimes in the summer
[11:21] SPEAKER_00: the international students would go back home sometimes after one or two years of being away
[11:25] SPEAKER_00: and when they come back I'd say you know man did you notice that things changed quite a bit when
[11:30] SPEAKER_00: you went home oh my goodness yeah they jeansed a lot you know whatever I said no they didn't they
[11:35] SPEAKER_00: didn't change it all you changed wow and the beauty of that is while we want many of these students
[11:43] SPEAKER_00: to stay in Canada make Canada their new life many of them go back home right go back home different
[11:49] SPEAKER_00: people they go back home with these new ideas they go back home with these new experiences and they
[11:55] SPEAKER_00: do have a competitive advantage now they're not always necessarily embraced totally when they go
[12:02] SPEAKER_00: back home or whatever but it gives them a different way to look at things and to present their
[12:06] SPEAKER_00: business in a way that nobody else is presenting it and yeah about your differentiation that gives you
[12:12] SPEAKER_01: a competitive advantage that you didn't even expect the the I know a guy runs by a very simple philosophy
[12:20] SPEAKER_01: you win the game of business when you say what everybody else seeks and so that's what you're
[12:25] SPEAKER_01: teaching them to do so let me let me ask you this question because I've I've been freed with
[12:31] SPEAKER_01: with international students coming to Atlanta Canada and I was so appreciative that you know
[12:37] SPEAKER_01: when I speak to them I always I always use with appreciation what is your opinion on our
[12:45] SPEAKER_01: Atlanta Canadian entrepreneurs who are in that education space doing the complete opposite going
[12:53] SPEAKER_01: to entrepreneurs schools in India or to Nigeria or to I don't know Syria on what I'm not
[13:02] SPEAKER_01: serious a good example but you know my point is that something you've recommended because your
[13:07] SPEAKER_01: students are always getting value coming to your Brent's work with Krandel would you suggest the
[13:12] SPEAKER_01: opposite might be a value to
[13:15] SPEAKER_00: me I can't solve too much my words carefully yeah I you know it can't get much better than what it is
[13:24] SPEAKER_00: here you know but but I would always recommend and I and I tell you know all of my Canadian students
[13:33] SPEAKER_00: whatever you know strike that might be if you as a student if you don't go and spend at least one
[13:39] SPEAKER_00: semester abroad you may regret it for the rest of your life because it it changes you in a way
[13:46] SPEAKER_00: that you never could imagine and I I wish that when I was doing my undergrad work that I would have
[13:53] SPEAKER_00: had that kind of an experience because I know it would have changed me sooner you know and given
[13:58] SPEAKER_00: me a greater worldview than than when I did get my worldview and and there's just so much to learn
[14:04] SPEAKER_00: from one another and and I mean even though they may do entrepreneurship differently than we do
[14:10] SPEAKER_00: there's still some things you could pick up but right man I think that we're pretty good at what we do
[14:16] SPEAKER_00: for the most part
[14:23] SPEAKER_01: man if you were you were running in that election last night I would have voted for you just for
[14:28] SPEAKER_01: that answer right there that was a good answer man you skated that one so so well and I agree with
[14:34] SPEAKER_01: you you know I'm I've been hanging in this entrepreneurship space in Canada for a long time and
[14:39] SPEAKER_01: I agree we we get it really dialed in down really really good and we're so lucky to have what we have
[14:45] SPEAKER_01: I want to touch a bit into your entrepreneurial journey and and it has to do with your customers
[14:52] SPEAKER_01: your students because you run a department that is about bringing international customers to
[15:02] SPEAKER_01: candle university and why I want to talk about that is because you something you alluded to a
[15:08] SPEAKER_01: little earlier in the conversation you may not have been an entrepreneur but you think entrepreneur
[15:14] SPEAKER_01: all and that I think is very advantageous for any entrepreneur to have around him or her a team
[15:21] SPEAKER_01: of entrepreneurial thinking people actually Richard Branson you would do well burst on him he says when
[15:28] SPEAKER_01: his company's get to a hundred people he breaks them back down into 50 because he doesn't want them
[15:33] SPEAKER_01: to lose that entrepreneurial spirit so talk to me about how you run your business as the dean
[15:38] SPEAKER_00: the international international business department you make a good point because I've always been
[15:46] SPEAKER_00: of the opinion that all the entrepreneurs are not out on main street entrepreneurship is a spirit
[15:56] SPEAKER_00: entrepreneurship is an attitude and that needs to be you know developed and and ingrained in
[16:05] SPEAKER_00: all of us because I think the more entrepreneurial that we can be the better our whole society is
[16:14] SPEAKER_00: entrepreneurship as far as my students go again means you know finding as many different ways
[16:22] SPEAKER_00: that we can serve them providing them with an education really is only a vehicle in my mind to
[16:30] SPEAKER_00: really serving our students right international students particularly come to us I like to say this
[16:37] SPEAKER_00: leaving family food and faith and and they're hitting a huge you know culture shock for most of them
[16:47] SPEAKER_00: when they come here even the way education is done in North America is not the way that it's done
[16:51] SPEAKER_00: around the world so the learning style is different some of them very you know you sit and you listen
[16:57] SPEAKER_00: and you don't speak kind of environments to the kind of environment here where we want them to talk
[17:02] SPEAKER_00: you know an an interrupt questions and whatnot and that seems very foreign to them helping them to
[17:08] SPEAKER_00: understand that there's something that they themselves can do to change their situation and encouraging
[17:15] SPEAKER_00: them by saying look you guys are already winners because you've taken the risk the calculated risk
[17:22] SPEAKER_00: to leave that family faith and food behind to come to Canada to start a new life to put what you
[17:28] SPEAKER_00: already got together in a box and expand on it yes yeah 100 percent so how do you go find them
[17:36] SPEAKER_00: yeah well so I mean I get and I had the the blessing privilege whatever good fortune of being
[17:44] SPEAKER_00: involved at Cape Breton University where they just saw massive influx of international students
[17:50] SPEAKER_00: and the president here at Krandel says you know if Danny hadn't gone away he wouldn't have been
[17:54] SPEAKER_00: able to come back yes so we knew that the low hanging fruit was in India so we started obviously
[18:01] SPEAKER_00: you know looking there and and as students were coming to us we started listening to what it is
[18:07] SPEAKER_00: that they wanted in their programs so we had originally created a one-year program but for those
[18:13] SPEAKER_00: who are coming with immigration as a as a final goal they could apply only for a one-year post
[18:23] SPEAKER_00: graduation work permit so if we had a two-year program they could apply for a three-year post
[18:29] SPEAKER_00: graduation work permit so immediately the very next year came up with a two-year program
[18:35] SPEAKER_00: the second thing that they wanted was this internship opportunity they wanted a way to get into the
[18:41] SPEAKER_00: Navy and business you know and and learn that way they knew they wouldn't get that just from a
[18:46] SPEAKER_00: classroom in the university setting so that was the second thing we did we created the two-year
[18:51] SPEAKER_00: program and we put an internship option into that and and the next thing that we're doing
[18:58] SPEAKER_00: is putting one of our programs online hoping to launch in January of 2022 and that will serve
[19:06] SPEAKER_00: mainly a domestic market but we're seeing you know because of COVID partly you know everybody's
[19:12] SPEAKER_00: becoming more and more comfortable with the online environment as much as it has some drawbacks it's
[19:18] SPEAKER_01: got all kinds of advantages as well too yeah totally it does well and actually a journey of the
[19:23] SPEAKER_01: entrepreneur right to you adjust you quote unquote pivot I love that word everybody is kind of
[19:28] SPEAKER_01: hung up on that word I don't want to hear anymore I said if it's good enough for the NBA
[19:34] SPEAKER_01: keep calling it whether it is why am I going to stop cocking it as a pivot you also form partnerships
[19:41] SPEAKER_01: in India do you not with organizations because this is part of the sales process you're not over
[19:47] SPEAKER_01: there you're using people who are local know the culture know the language know the faith know the
[19:52] SPEAKER_01: family know the food to have those conversations for you can you talk a bit about that because I think
[19:58] SPEAKER_01: it's a great business strategy of lead generation yes so so this is all about networking and this is
[20:05] SPEAKER_00: one of the other things that has been lifelong mantra of mind you know that your network is your
[20:10] SPEAKER_00: net worth yeah and and I thank and that for sure and fabulous entrepreneur from Cape Breton
[20:18] SPEAKER_00: originally actually but have been very very successful entrepreneur and anyway this is something
[20:23] SPEAKER_00: that she says in her book bet on me is you know that your network is your net worth so it's one
[20:30] SPEAKER_00: thing for us to go to India with you know qualified recruiters and stuff like this but it's another
[20:35] SPEAKER_00: thing to have somebody on the ground somebody who is from India somebody who knows the different
[20:41] SPEAKER_00: areas like northern India is very different than southern India and and a level of education in
[20:47] SPEAKER_00: some areas is better than others the ability of the students to pay is better in some areas than
[20:52] SPEAKER_00: others and so we're having somebody on the ground there who has that you know hands-on knowledge
[20:59] SPEAKER_00: just increases our ability to attract the student that we want and and we found this initially
[21:05] SPEAKER_00: you know the very first few students that we got were you know well maybe not exactly what we wanted
[21:10] SPEAKER_00: or whatever but we're finding and have found out in the last couple of years the amazing quality
[21:16] SPEAKER_00: of students that we're getting and it's because we're being more and more targeted about where we
[21:21] SPEAKER_00: you know recruit and with whom and stuff like this so it is very important to have you know feet
[21:27] SPEAKER_00: on the ground for sure now they're and what they do in turn is sort of train us as well to know
[21:33] SPEAKER_00: right what to look for in the other markets where we go because because we're all over the world
[21:38] SPEAKER_00: trying to find different markets I love that you know and what I'm what I'm interested
[21:45] SPEAKER_01: here's a question I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna hesitate for because I want to preface it for
[21:49] SPEAKER_01: I basically know I ran a gourmet burger or operation 12 years or not 12 years it was more like
[21:55] SPEAKER_01: seven or eight anyway my point is is that I also look for partners who understood what the
[22:01] SPEAKER_01: environment was like and so on but I didn't dig a little bit deeper and I should have in that
[22:08] SPEAKER_01: partnership ultimately caused the demise of relish gourmet burgers I don't mind saying that it wasn't
[22:13] SPEAKER_01: the food it was that partnership we set up how do you qualify these people who you want to work
[22:20] SPEAKER_01: with because they're you know every girl's pretty every guy's handsome but then you gotta you gotta
[22:27] SPEAKER_01: go hang out with them for a bit so was there a qualification process that you uh that you go
[22:31] SPEAKER_00: through oh oh my goodness um if you only knew the field of um international agents oh my goodness
[22:41] SPEAKER_00: I mean there are some really shisters out there right right deal with very unethical practices
[22:49] SPEAKER_00: and stuff like this and we've been very fortunate we haven't got caught too many times uh it with
[22:56] SPEAKER_00: you know but uh we we go with the with the well-known agents those that have been around the world
[23:04] SPEAKER_00: and have been doing it for a while and have good reputations and stuff like that again we had
[23:09] SPEAKER_00: that advantage that we weren't the first ones doing it right so we could we could talk to other
[23:14] SPEAKER_00: schools and colleagues who have who have done this in the past and where did they have success and
[23:19] SPEAKER_00: with whom and stuff like that so yeah do your homework it's again it's another thing I tell my
[23:24] SPEAKER_00: students all the time if you started business without doing your research you deserve to fail yeah
[23:31] SPEAKER_01: I love it yes so what are you saying to me ladies and gentlemen when I have failed I deserve to fail
[23:37] SPEAKER_01: and I have a few times because I mean that's you know it's all around a good point because
[23:42] SPEAKER_01: we entrepreneurs are we get driven by emotion yeah the thrill of the chase and we forget to figure
[23:49] SPEAKER_01: out we got a mountain to climb here we got to be ready for it um one of the things by the way ladies
[23:54] SPEAKER_01: and gentlemen that that Dr. Brown is very well he's very well connected as he said but we may not know
[24:02] SPEAKER_01: is that there is an international organization that started in a mountain new bronze
[24:09] SPEAKER_01: wick of which Dr. Brown was one of the original mentors of I think you were professor of these
[24:16] SPEAKER_01: gentlemen or at least one of them were you not all of them well I mean Walter wasn't involved
[24:23] SPEAKER_00: at the beginning but Jeremy and and can for story yeah well I can't imagine having Walter
[24:29] SPEAKER_01: Malonson and as a student he'd be quite the challenge but uh propertyguys.com if you don't know much
[24:35] SPEAKER_01: about the story learn about it it's an incredible story and Danny Brown was a part of that uh
[24:41] SPEAKER_01: that original journey with those folks and continues to be great mentors for them they're
[24:45] SPEAKER_01: they're it's just a great great story so so not only is an academics but is helping entrepreneurs
[24:53] SPEAKER_01: locally one more question and then we're going to close out this conversation you know
[24:59] SPEAKER_01: when I am when I was working with Marraila Square May Berters um we did get some foreigners new
[25:07] SPEAKER_01: commerce common ask for work and how do you know and they they they they face these challenges
[25:16] SPEAKER_01: because of language because of things that they shouldn't have to face and so on what's your
