PEI Business Podcast

Welcome to the new PEI Business Podcast.

Hosted by Stingray, Director of Operations, Jennifer Evans and in cooperation with our sponsor, Innovation PEI, we are launching a new 10-episode podcast series which will feature some of the most innovative business leaders on PEI.

We’ll have a chance to learn the story behind the business ideas and behind the entrepreneur who started it. We talk about the highlights and the lowlights of their business story.

Welcome to the PEI Business Podcast, where we celebrate Island business.

EPISODE #1: Jordan Rose – Tracktile

The PEI Business Podcast launches with Episode One featuring Jordan Rose, Co-Founder and CEO of Tracktile. Hosted by Jennifer Evans from Stingray in partnership with Innovation PEI, the podcast explores the real stories behind Island entrepreneurs — from big wins to hard lessons — and why PEI continues to be a home base for global business.

EPISODE #2: Austin MacKenzie – The Heavy Cup

Episode 2 of the PEI Business Podcast features Austin MacKenzie, founder of The Heavy Cup. Austin shares how watching a single YouTube video sparked an idea that turned into a multi-million-dollar e-commerce business in just two years. He talks about taking risks, learning from failure, the role advertising has played in scaling his brand, and why he chose Prince Edward Island as the home base for a company selling around the world. It’s an honest conversation about entrepreneurship, resilience, and building big ideas from a small place.

In this episode of the PEI Business Podcast, host Jennifer Evans sits down with Sharon Quann, founder of Quannessence Skincare, to talk about building a nationally recognized skincare brand from Summerside, PEI. Sharon shares her journey from longtime aesthetician to product innovator, including how her German training shaped her formulas and how she pivoted her business during COVID to keep growing.
