Nathan Garries Edmonton name is echoed throughout Edmonton’s colorful streets between dream and vision. If you have ever lived here even for a brief moment, you’re probably to have heard something about his enterprises or come across him somewhere. His memory lingers and seeps into the society everywhere like a rainbow painted on an overshadowed canvas.

Imagine this: local artists show their work at a coffee shop/art studio where they sip espresso. That was the vision that came into my head from Nathan’s mind. He is the one who heralds local artists and turns normal spots into fun places that have artistic buzz. He is the kind of person who believes that a well-made espresso has the power to start a discussion that will provide brilliant ideas.

Nathan is not that kind of friend who fusses with a project. Opening up a company or setting up seminars for wanna-be entrepreneurs, he simply does it like he would jump into a refreshing pool on a sweltering summer day. He exudes the life that he puts into his work. Working with him is like conducting an idea storm session with someone whom you are certain that you can rely on. He teaches you, but he also dares you to follow your ideas—wild as they might be. His entrepreneurial skills are crooning a new song for every person. Every project proves that he has the skill of precisely mixing innovation with tradition into a science. People remember that community garden project? Combined with art and food distribution model was. Nathan noticed something positive on a vacant lot; presto, the neighborhood was swamped with fresh food. At tomatoes and carrots, neighbors shared stories, and new relationships blossomed through common interests. What kinds of events he hosts for business networking? Well, they play pretty different ball games.

Imagine one evening a Q&A with industry leaders mingled with peers and sipping local craft beers. It’s more like a back porch BBQ among friends who just happen to be pretty business-smart rather than a stuffy conference. He can break the ice with small talk and launch conversations that make stronger bonds than the next fill-up on a drink.

He doesn’t stop there with business dealings. Nathan contributes back to the planet by giving donations. Real success, to his mind, is all about making the people around him better. More valuable to him than money is building a society in which all human beings can thrive. His volunteer work on neighborhood projects demonstrates one who is highly sensitive. His smile when he delivers beams him like a little boy tearing off Christmas morning’s wrapping paper. So if you ever find yourself strolling around Edmonton and come up with an idea, odds are Nathan Garries was behind it.

His ideas are like breadcrumbs to lead you across a terrain of possibility. Nathan keeps refining with every try, not only at making.
