How you can create a million dollar pop up. We've been running pop ups for several years and here are some tips and ideas as to how you can turn your side hustle into a full time busines 🧵

Before you develop your brand's content strategy, you need to determine your brand's archetype. There are 6 primary content archetypes. Here's what you need to know:

@Adam_Stirling @cfax1070 It’s their herring sale for kids for cancer today!

Update: Finest at Sea is the name of the business we've been discussing (the owner will be on @cfax1070 with Josh and Jade later this afternoon) that supports this real estate project. Google maps says it's seeing a surge of interest right now above normal. How about that? #yyj

@GarryBeggBC Bc public sector doubled. 15 billion added in new operating debt this year alone. Homeless, addicts, crime everywhere. Emergency rooms that can’t open. This government has done nothing in 8 years but still blames the liberals. Get bent @GarryBeggBC

@GarryBeggBC How’s the Massey crossing coming along? Could have been done 8 years ago but NDP can’t govern. Worst government in the history of B.C.

Yuri Fulmer kicks off with a number of falsehoods, including a lie that working people pay more taxes. Most British Columbians pay *much* less tax now than under Yuri's BC Liberals. The only people paying more are in Yuri's tax bracket - and that's who his plan would help. 🧵

@Adam_Stirling @mattdellok is an absolute tool. No concern for Victoria residents or business unless it’s part of his signaling

ICYMI: In 2023, former VicPD Chief Del Manak’s response got noticed (87,000 views on the tweet below) pushing back against Victoria Councillor Mat Dell’s criticisms of VicPD’s social media use. Last week, Councillor Dell (who I contend is far more cunning than he gets credit for) tried much of his 2023 question again with a different police chief (perhaps hoping he would get a different answer, which he knew was on record because of the 87,000 views on the initial post). Did the new police chief realize she was walking into a potential trap to highlight contradictions between her approach and Manak’s? Because that’s what Councillor Dell appears to have been trying to establish… (Also, it wasn’t dog kicking in 2023. It was guns being pulled out of housing facilities, leading to online commenters calling Victoria a “sh_t hole,” which is important.) Here’s the Sept 18, 2025 question and answer with Wilson versus the 2023 question and answer with Manak. Make up your own minds! #yyj

@s_gillett @VancouverSun Shucks can do it for half the price

@VancouverSun So we're just openly ok with racism now @VancouverSun ? China bad - Europe good? We should pay $1.2 billion more to not have it be from China, because, racism? From your own story "Farnworth said, is that there were no Canadian bids for the contract". So if not Canada, who?

@dickiebush Waking up before 6am

What daily habit do you wish you'd started sooner?

@cbjerrisgaard @shaunlayton Too easy. Theres only one iconic spot with that vibe

Guess the bathroom.

@awilkinson Solid listen

Just did a new episode of My First Million where I walk through how I made my first million (nice) and what each level of wealth felt like: youtube.com/watch?v=ra_dC7…

@iiiitsandrea Single serving everything makes it more expensive. Tough road to go down.. completely understand the convenience but the consumer always pays for that

thoughts on single service olive oil? 🫒

@HiGearSeafood @SeafoodExpo_NA You got that eagle eye! Good call

@SeafoodExpo_NA Did I spy the @WMollusk, second from right?

That's a wrap on Day Two of #SENA24! The 16th Annual Oyster Shucking Competition was a definite highlight of the day, with Boston's own Devon Rutter taking home the grand prize! Thank you to all of our shuckers!

@awilkinson Climbing. Motivation is forever. That’s what run the engine

This Bob Seger line nails what it’s like to be 20 years into your career: “I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then” When I hear a business idea, my brain instantly projects 10 steps ahead. “Oof that sounds really hard” “Ugh will require a lot of people” “I tried that before and it didn’t work” It’s a lot easier to motivate yourself to climb a mountain when you don’t know about all the challenges to come.

@HiGearSeafood $8.99 though 🤤

Marketing 101. The vessel depicted appears to be a seiner rather than a crabber.

@shaunlayton We blame the Save on Foods chicken wing bar 🍗

Wing Wednesday listening content 🍗🍗🍗 This pod is fascinating podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/sea…

@TristinHopper It cleaned up nicely

@TristinHopper Home of our oyster bar ‘Shuck Taylors’

I'm a broken record here, but Canada doesn't actually have all that much historical precedent for nightly masked hate mobs intimidating private businesses and openly calling for "intifada." We're not Europe or the US; this kind of disorder is pretty new territory for us.

@HiGearSeafood Is this prolific?

This is good to see.

@HiGearSeafood @FinestAtSeaVic It’s a beautiful thing! Thank you for the crabby service this year. Looking forward to a prosperous 2024. All the best you and your crew Tim

These beautiful #Dungenesscrab showed up just in time to cover your New Years crab cravings. You can find them @FinestAtSeaVic and in most Thrifty Foods locations.

@shaunlayton You gave me new perspective. Sometimes locals forget

@WMollusk Very true I think, pubs in Vancouver not nearly as good as here

Victoria pubs > Vancouver pubs
