Show Notes

In episode 53 of the Get Hired Up podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking with James Baxter. James is an award-winning Canadian Sportswriter, Political Journalist, Bureau Chief and Entrepreneur.

James served as a journalist covering international trade, economics, health care, energy and climate change and North American politics. Recognized among his peers as broadly networked among global governments and news organizations, he is also known as a leader who turns ideas into action.

Among his many achievements, James is the Founder of Canada's first purely digital political news service iPolitics—known for its independent, nonpartisan and real time coverage of Canadian politics (later acquired by Torstar).

What impresses me most about James, despite his successes as a nationally recognized community and business leader, is his generosity, humility and kindness toward others. I hope you enjoy the show!
