It is being reported in the news today that Scott Thompson, the highly visible CEO of Yahoo falsified his resume, resulting in much unwanted publicity and possible termination of his role.

Do you believe in Redemption?
Posted by admin
Do you believe in Redemption? I never had glaring reason to give the concept much thought until I received a call in the fall of 2011 from Jim Treliving, Owner and CEO of Boston Pizza and renowned for Dragon’s Den. During that call Jim shared that he was an advisor on Kevin O’Leary’s latest TV project – a reality show called “REDEMPTION Inc.” which currently airs on Mondays at 9:00 p.m. on the CBC. He asked if we (PSG) also wanted to be advisors and even perhaps get involved on a different level. Read More »

Interview with Sammie Kennedy, Booty Camp Fitness – By Lisa Price, Partner, PSG

Sammie Kennedy, CEO of Booty Camp Fitness, now the largest provider of women-only boot camps in Canada, offered in nearly 100 neighbourhoods and with sales topping $4 million last year. Sammie Kennedy is living proof that people can change and evolve their careers to ultra successful in 5 short years with a great idea, focus and determination. The one-time northern Ontario girl who had never played team sports in high school or darkened the door of a gym resolved, at the age of 22, to shape up. The experience of getting fit was so empowering that she became a fitness model and a certified personal trainer. She soon had too many training clients to attend to one-on-one, so in 2007 she started offering outdoor “boot camps” — intense, military-style workouts similar to ones then popping up across the country.

Posted by admin
Jim Treliving traded in his RCMP uniform approximately 45 years ago to become an entrepreneur. Today he is one the most visible and highly respected people in the Canadian business landscape. Jim is chairman and owner of Boston Pizza International Inc., operating in 3 countries. Boston Pizza has been repeatedly recognized by Deloitte as one of Canada’s “50 Best Managed Private Companies”. In addition to being a successful businessman, on-going investor and active philanthropist, Jim has also earned celebrity status through the CBC hit reality show “Dragon’s Den” and is involved with two other shows currently in the making. Tagged the “Loving Dragon” or the “Nice Dragon”, Jim has earned these titles earnestly. He is kind, respectful and generous. He puts you at ease the moment you meet him. He has a pretty wicked sense of humour too! Read More »
