Specialty Fabrics Review September 2022 - 81

These universal concerns affect
textile companies everywhere and
listeners can get creative ideas from the
podcasts on how to deal with them.
Companies outside of Canada can
also learn more about the needs in
the Canadian market. For example,
a U.S. company may be interested
in supplying a fabric or a chemical
for a fabric to a Canadian company.
" Learning about what's happening in
Canada could lead to future sales, "
Petizian says. " The more information
you have, the more you'll be able to
improve your business. "
" Suppliers outside Canada can gain
great insight into the nature of the
industry here and the players that make
it run, " says Tyrrell. " For those in similar
businesses from outside Canada, they
may get ideas on how to handle growth,
succession or business direction. "
Diverse topics
A podcast list, with the title and a brief
description for each show, appears
on the Talking Textiles website.
Topics presented so far include
" Manufacturing the next textiles
experts, " " If You Build It, They Will
Come, " and " Innovation axée sur
le développement des équipes. " All
previously posted podcasts remain
available for both the Canada and
Emerging Technologies series.
Both hosts enjoy helping guests
tell their stories. " My favorite part is
when we interview people in a family
business and see the differences
in business approach from the
grandfather to the father to the son
or daughter, " Petizian says. " They
demonstrate their family dynamics
with each having different roles and
different ways of thinking. "
" I'm always fascinated with the
varied routes people have taken to
being in business in our industry, "

says Tyrrell. " Maybe that's because
there is so little formal training or
educational paths to this industry in
Canada. As a result, you have people
coming to it from so many different
directions and backgrounds. I love
hearing about those backgrounds
and the roads that led people to
being in the business they now
find themselves in. "
