Wel­come to 204 Rise, the pod­cast that uncov­ers the extra­or­di­nary sto­ries of Win­nipeg’s very own. Today, we’re div­ing into the cap­ti­vat­ing jour­ney of a self-taught film­mak­er, entre­pre­neur, and the mas­ter­mind behind breath­tak­ing visu­al sto­ries— Brett Anderson.

From a young age, Bret­t’s heart­beat to the rhythm of film­mak­ing and con­tent cre­ation. A high school pas­sion soon led him to the world of account­ing, where he dili­gent­ly pur­sued his CPA des­ig­na­tion. But, as the say­ing goes, ​“Fol­low your pas­sion,” and that’s exact­ly what Brett did.

In this episode, we jour­ney along­side Brett as he recounts his evo­lu­tion from an accoun­tant to a cre­ative pow­er­house. With an eye for detail and an innate abil­i­ty to cap­ture jaw-drop­ping moments, Brett ven­tured into the world of videog­ra­phy and cin­e­matog­ra­phy, turn­ing his trav­els into a can­vas for unfor­get­table stories.

Bret­t’s Win­nipeg roots run deep, where he spent his youth immersed in sports, espe­cial­ly bas­ket­ball, and explor­ing the beau­ty of Clear Lake dur­ing sum­mers. His cre­ative spir­it first found expres­sion through doc­u­ment­ing his trav­els. What start­ed as per­son­al video diaries soon blos­somed into a thriv­ing busi­ness, as com­pa­nies rec­og­nized the tal­ent in his lens.

After grad­u­at­ing from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Man­i­to­ba, Asper School of Busi­ness, with a major in account­ing, Brett set foot into the world of finance at KPMG. He embarked on the jour­ney to become a CPA, a path he suc­cess­ful­ly tra­versed. But, as his videog­ra­phy busi­ness flour­ished, the call for cre­ativ­i­ty grew stronger. Jug­gling the rig­or­ous demands of the cor­po­rate world and his entre­pre­neur­ial ambi­tions became a chal­lenge. In a bold and life-alter­ing deci­sion, Brett chose to fol­low his heart and pas­sion. He left his account­ing career behind to ful­ly embrace the world of free­lance videog­ra­phy and film­mak­ing. It’s a title he wears with pride, for he is a cre­ator, a sto­ry­teller, and a visu­al magician.

Bret­t’s sto­ry is a tes­ta­ment to the incred­i­ble pow­er of pur­su­ing one’s true call­ing. It’s a nar­ra­tive of cre­ativ­i­ty, pas­sion, and the unwa­ver­ing com­mit­ment to dreams, no mat­ter where life’s jour­ney takes you.

Join us on 204 Rise for an illu­mi­nat­ing con­ver­sa­tion that delves into Bret­t’s trans­for­ma­tion from num­bers to narratives.

In this com­pelling episode, we explore Bryn­n’s entre­pre­neur­ial jour­ney, a sto­ry of courage and deter­mi­na­tion. Tune in as she shares the trans­for­ma­tive moment when she decid­ed to step away from the cor­po­rate world, choos­ing instead to pur­sue her dream of build­ing an empire. We lat­er dive into the intri­ca­cies of Bryn­n’s mind­set and her unique out­look on life as a 22-year-old busi­ness own­er.

Wel­come to 204 Rise, the pod­cast that unveils the extra­or­di­nary sto­ries of Win­nipeg’s local heroes. In this week’s episode, we had the priv­i­lege of sit­ting down with the vision­ary founder of Black Label Builds and the New Car Sales Man­ag­er at St James Volk­swa­gen, Brock Dennison.

Join us as we nav­i­gate through the intri­cate details of Brock­’s life, a nar­ra­tive of resilience, trans­for­ma­tion, and the birth of an empire cen­tred around cus­tom cars and trucks. Brock shares with us the pro­found turn­ing points that shaped his jour­ney, illus­trat­ing how he con­vert­ed life’s strug­gles into bound­less motivation.

In this grip­ping con­ver­sa­tion, Brock recounts a piv­otal moment when a near-fatal motor­cy­cle acci­dent became the cat­a­lyst for a mon­u­men­tal life shift. Dis­cov­er how this trans­for­ma­tive expe­ri­ence led him to embrace a new path — one dri­ven by a pas­sion for cus­tom cars and a ded­i­ca­tion to the art of sales. We delve deep into the mind­set that has pro­pelled Brock to suc­cess — an unwa­ver­ing com­mit­ment to hard work and a res­olute rejec­tion of excus­es. This episode is not just about entre­pre­neur­ship; it’s a pro­found explo­ration of the phi­los­o­phy that excus­es yield no results, and that the pur­suit of one’s pas­sion can turn adver­si­ty into triumph.

Brock Den­nison’s sto­ry is a tes­ta­ment to the pow­er of resilience, self-rein­ven­tion, and the relent­less pur­suit of dreams. As the New Car Sales Man­ag­er at St James Volk­swa­gen, he con­tin­ues to carve a path of excel­lence in the auto­mo­tive industry.

Join us on 204 Rise for a mind­ful and insight­ful episode that offers a glimpse into the world of entre­pre­neur­ship, sales, and the art of turn­ing chal­lenges into triumphs.
