Recently, I had the opportunity to have a call with an old acquaintance of mine, serial entrepreneur Dan Martell. Aside from personal pleasantries, he made me critically think about ideas for my industry… and ask questions internally… and… that’s a good thing!

Through Remembrance Day here in Canada and other celebrations performed around the world, one can hardly forget such phrases as never again and lest we forget, or the seminal poem “In Flanders Fields” by Canadian Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. This Christmas marks what, in my humble opinion, is one of the more significant centennial events from the whole WWI conflict, the Christmas Truce.
