I love working with bees and have a dozen hives. Right now, I’m reading Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, the marketing classic Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind, and a book about beekeeping. I’m a big reader and I always tend to read more than one book at a time. How would that bring me closer to my goal? I often get inquiries to sell the company, but I am not interested in that. I see other people my age who are selling their businesses, but they seem lost afterward, like they’ve lost their sense of purpose. The succession plan is what keeps me going. I’m motivated to create a lucrative business that will exist in New Brunswick for years and years. If you could offer people one piece of business advice, what would it be? I wish New Brunswick shared more of its many success stories. It’s about tenaciousness and stick-to-it-ness. We’re all on this entrepreneurial voyage together. We chose to make New Brunswick our home and we’re hearing all kinds of stories about immigrants choosing New Brunswick, too. In order to build our businesses, attract new ones and build the economy, we need to get excited about choosing to be here.

I’ve invested my life into growing this business-and I want it to remain not only in New Brunswick, but also in my family. My daughter, Emily, and my sons, Jack and Dave, are already working to further build Corey Nutrition once Emily has completed her Ph.D., she will be the new President. My goal is for Corey Nutrition to become a heritage New Brunswick company, and that means building something that can be passed on for generations. So, we can jump right into trying to solve problems instead. There’s already an established shorthand for business problems. We all speak a common language we communicate on the same frequency because we’ve experienced a lot of the same things. It can be lonely on the top, but in that room, we’re all equal. NBBC allows me to regularly connect with other CEOs. There’s so much brilliance in that group. I’ve been a member of the New Brunswick Business Council for over five years simply because there’s tremendous value in being actively involved in the provincial business community.
