The Pulse Community Podcast's debut episode features interviews with two local entrepreneurs: Brian Webber from Fireside Books and Jordan Schley of Care2Talk healthcare. The podcast, hosted by Peter McCully and Dave Graham, explores local business innovation and community connections.

Brian Webber shares insights into the local book market, highlighting the rich literary scene on Vancouver Island. He notes, "It's hard to throw a stone on the island and not hit an author or an artist." Webber discusses popular book genres, with mysteries being top sellers, and emphasizes the unique reading community in the area, which attracts diverse readers including tourists and snowbirds.

Jordan Schley presents his innovative healthcare startup, Care2Talk, which began during the pandemic as a communication platform for seniors and evolved into a virtual and hybrid healthcare service. He explains their approach: "During the pandemic, we've learned a ton of what can be done virtual, and a lot of it can be done”. Schley highlights the company's flexible approach to medical staffing and their expansion into brick-and-mortar clinics in response to community needs.

The hosts, Peter McCully and Dave Graham, bring their extensive media backgrounds to the podcast, aiming to reconnect with community members and provide an engaging platform for local stories.

The guys introduce Production Assistant Marilyn and Rockin Rhonda and her Blues band. Regular features are introduced including a contest giveaway "Where's the Tickle Trunk"?
