Rival & Queen

Jodi Guthro is living a songwriter's dream right now. A song she co-wrote with her brother and Walker Hayes has been climbing the Billboard 100 chart. U Gurl with Walker Hayes was at #24 when we recorded this!

We talk to Jodi about her experiences as a singer and songwriter, being in a very musical family, her love of songwriting, and how she’s always getting pulled back into the industry. We also get into the very first song she wrote at 8 years old, finding her muse and all things Kacey Musgraves, Christmas & Tim Biebs!

This week we’re joined by Tareq Hadhad, founder of Peace by Chocolate. Born and raised in Damascus, Syria his family was forced to flee their home country to escape the war. 

Tareq shares his family’s story, and how they eventually made their way to Antigonish, NS. He talks about their experience of going from prosperity to starting over with nothing. Throughout the journey, his family's values, commitment to community, and determination to spread happiness have empowered them to create an incredible company and become leaders here in Canada.

In just 6 years, Peace By Chocolate has grown from a 1 product company to having 160 products, multiple locations, a book, a movie, and the Hadhad's are now a family of Canadians.
