YEG.Stories Video

A local creative entrepreneur, Brandon Mattice, shot this video of me and my booktruck and here it is! He is wildly inventive with shot design, vision of a snapshot of the very heart of my business - the whole time being a very gentle guide behind the camera.
It was an honour to be a part of this collaboration, and if you want to pursue something similar, look no further than YEG.Stories!

Daisy on CBC Radio

In July 2019, it was such a treat to be featured on CBC Radio Edmonton, and be interviewed by Tara McCarthy about what she calls "a novel idea" - a bookshop on wheels in a retail culture of mega-stores.

Keeping Shop Podcast

I had the greatest time chatting with Rachel Wentworth about all things books, business and bras. As her first ever international guest, it was an honour to talk about why Daisy Chain Book Co. is special and why the people who read the books are more important than the books themselves.

Have a listen to this convo and all her other inspirational business episodes!

Just a Girl, and her Booktruck... on a Podcast!!

I had the profound pleasure of talking with Cathy Heller on her wildly popular podcast, "Don't Keep Your Day Job". We laughed, cried and shared inspiration about what it takes to make a BookShop on Wheels a reality. I am over-the-moon grateful for the chance to share this with you.
