Maureen Newton of Inspire Cafe talks about the importance of creative thinking in small business
Maureen Newton, Owner of Inspire Cafe/Inspire Studio & Gallery shares her thoughts with Trevor Moore on the art of creativity for small business owners on this episode of Stories that Shape Our Community.
What started as something her family thought was perhaps an April's Fool Joke, Inspire Cafe, became a space that displays the value of creative thinking and how, during challenging times, creative thinking will inspire you to keep moving forward, no matter the unexpected hurdle that is placed in front of you.
This conversation is vibrant, just like the colour palette within the studio and cafe space on 2nd Street downtown and it is bound to inspire you!

Stories that Shape our Community is a reminder of the importance of putting local first and the positive impact it has on shaping our communities - now and into the future. The episodes will give listeners an inside perspective on the "Why" behind these local businesses. There is no "one size fits all" approach in business and these stories will highlight those who shape our community in business and ideally help other businesses who find themselves in similar situations. Our local business owners and their teams will share their stories, showcasing the resiliency and positive impacts they make to help shape our community.
