James Costello: Brewing Success and Community Connections - The Calgary Sessions Ep131
Manage episode 432989105 series 3395081
Why do community and business often seem like separate paths?
In this episode, I sit down with James Costello, CEO and part-shareholder of Tool Shed Brewing Company and founder of Pedal Pub, to explore how these two worlds come together.
James and I have known each other for years, and it was great to reconnect and hear his story. We talk about his roots in Calgary, his childhood in Rosedale, and his adventures in London. We share memories of simpler times, biking around and playing street hockey.
James opens up about his entrepreneurial journey, from starting a landscaping business at 17 to leading a brewery. He talks about the challenges of balancing university, running a business, and working in Calgary’s nightlife scene. He also shares candid moments about getting fired and how those experiences shaped his path.
A significant part of our conversation is about the importance of community. Whether it's his childhood friends, the local rugby team, or the community around his brewery, James highlights the power of connections.
