Introducing our fourth and final panellist for our October 29 Fall Mixer! A passionate Edmontonian, Jay is committed to playing a role in helping make Edmonton a 'Global 10'. In 2007, he co-founded The Nation Network, now Canada’s leading digital sports media brand. In 2010, Jay was appointed President of Oodle Noodle, applying the skills he learned from specializing in franchise financing at ATB, for which he was awarded the President’s Award in 2010 for highest corporate sales in his position. Since taking the helm, his guidance has led Oodle Noodle to become a 17-store local chain. Jay’s passion for Edmonton and its river valley led him to be one of the co-owners of Little Brick Café. This became the catalyst to fuel Jay and his team to help build more river valley amenities, which led to the creation of River Valley Company, which aims to play a part in building more community amenities and support the development of outdoor tourism in the river valley. ✨ Hear real experiences, lessons learned, and insights into what it takes to build meaningful connections that support business growth!

Puttin’ the O in Ottawa. Great trip to the capital for the Canada After Dark conference with some great colleagues and bonus Starlite pals. Good talks and advocacy for Nightime economies here, there and everywhere. Here are some terrible photos.

Big day for The Nation Network. 🎙️ We took Leafs Morning Take into TNN’s new Toronto studios for the first time, and what better way to kick it off than with a full Maple Leafs season preview. Jay Rosehill and I welcomed Zack Phillips and Dan Riccio for a roundtable discussion breaking down the 2026-27 Leafs — the biggest storylines, expectations, roster questions and everything in between. Really cool to see the new studio come to life. Proud of what we’re building in Toronto. 🏒🎙️
