Bet On Me: The Podcast is for anybody who needs to be re-inspired in themselves and their communities.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM SEASON 1

Season one of Bet on Me: The Podcast introduces enthusiasts from Annette’s community – Cape Breton Island. It’s a place where entrepreneurs have learned about grit, tenacity and the power of community. Season one showcases the potential and magic that is Cape Breton and its people.

“If there’s one thing that will prevent you from getting results and capitalizing on your best ideas, it’s waiting for the perfect plan. I’ll go out on a limb and say that nothing kills progress like a brilliant strategy that can’t be executed.
