Taylor and Stephen speak with Dan Doherty, founder of the Calgary Horror Con Convention.

Dan chats about how he came to own a hearse, his early days, his first job in IT, why he never wanted to stay in a 9-5 job, his other business ventures, how he promoted Horror Con in the early days, the pros and cons of starting something without a big budget, walking away from a job due to personality fit, balancing confidence with preparation, and advice he would give to someone looking to start their own thing.
