The NHL returned to the ice recently. An entire season of professional hockey in North America was almost wiped out entirely in order to develop a collective bargaining agreement(CBA) all parties were equally unhappy with. The CBA has almost nothing to do with the sport of hockey. It has everything to do with the business […]
Anyone can point their iphone at the mirror but a professional headshot for your avatar won’t come from that. We’re having Noelle come in and shoot headshots for our ThreeFortyNine members. We’d figure we’d open it up the public as well. The shoot will take less than 30 minutes per person. You’ll receive two final versions that have been edited. […]
The subtitle of the book Antifragile is “Things That Gain from Disorder. I’m fascinated by that concept and specifically how you can leverage it within the chaos that is new business creation. How can you prepare your business and team to not just be unharmed by large unpredictable events but to benefit from them? A thread […]
It’s not optional, it’s not just good to have, and it shouldn’t be low priority, feedback, is vital to success.

It’s all about the costs on day one, however, in a short time, you see people go […]
We sell Field Notes here, partially because we wish we were hipsters, mostly because they’re wicked paper and pens. We’re drooling over their newly released expedition edition and want to place a new order so we can have them. To do that, we’re clearing out some current stock. We have a few remaining 3-packs. We’re […]
I had a conversation yesterday that’s occurred a few times over the past year. In speaking with someone about what we’re up to at ThreeFortyNine, they commented about us being government funded or associated with other organizations here in town.

We have a mix of people who cowork with us here at ThreeFortyNine. Some are freelancers who chase down their own gigs. Others are entrepreneurs running their own product based companies. We also have a lot of folks who have jobs in other cities such as Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo. They live in Guelph and commute to […]
