Hello and welcome to Between Two Dots, hosted by Hafiz Mitha and Gilbert Bong. Jared Sarbit joins the guys today to discuss his work as co-founder and CEO of Picture Perfect Cleaning, Calgary’s premier commercial janitorial services provider. He shares how with his company and his outlook on life he carries on the legacy of his wife’s father, who immigrated to Canada from Iraq and built a life for himself and his family in the janitorial industry. Join Jared, Hafiz, and Gilbert as they reflect on what it means to be an entrepreneur, and why community is the bedrock of success no matter what industry one is working in.

“Between two dots – really, the value is in that line: the journey.”
