Connections: Recent Episodes
Jim Allan
This is the audio version of my video podcast, “Connections”.
People I know, or want to know better, who have an interesting story to tell.
If you’ve made a big decision, a non-profit to promote, or even something to sell, we should talk. In person. Podcast style. I’m based in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, so it’s downright easy if you live near me. A bit of a hassle if you don’t.
