One thing I love to do, both online and off, is to connect with individuals and listen to their stories. Recently, I had the unique opportunity to do just that with Yellow Pages, who chose five bloggers across Canada to create authentic and original local stories from real neighbourhoods and real residents for their Shop The Neighbourhood initiative. I was charged with the task of interviewing some of my favourite Vancouver-based small business owners to hear all about their shops, their passion …
