handover. The moment one shift passes the work to the next, so nothing stops overnight.
Canada-Australia Business Bridge connects business owners in Canada and Australia, two countries that share a language, a legal tradition and a head of state, and almost never share a working hour.
Vancouver finishes its afternoon as the Gold Coast starts its morning, the next day. So nothing here is simultaneous, and nothing needs to be. One side passes an introduction across at the end of its day, the other picks it up with the first coffee, and the conversation moves forward twice before either person has lost any sleep.
It is also where careers move. Members in Canada and Australia sometimes meet their next employer, find their next job or make their next hire through Canada-Australia Business Bridge, because the best roles are often filled by someone a trusted person recommends.
Susan knows the rooms in Greater Vancouver. Darren knows the rooms on the Gold Coast. An introduction across seventeen hours only gets opened if the person sending it is someone the reader already trusts, so each side has its own named, checkable host.

Read How do you run a working relationship across a 17-hour time difference?Vancouver and the Gold Coast are almost exactly a day apart, which sounds impossible and is really just a rhythm to learn. Practical habits that make Canada and Australia feel next door.
The Canada-Australia Business Bridge, part of My Most Trusted, has a host on each side: Susan Jarema of Grand Connection in Canada and Darren Bartsch of Wealth99 in Australia. They introduce members to Australian clients and partners through people they trust, so you skip the cold outreach to a market on the other side of the world.
Susan Jarema, of Grand Connection, hosts the Canadian side of the Canada-Australia Business Bridge, and Darren Bartsch, of Wealth99, hosts the Australian side. Both make personal introductions for members of My Most Trusted across the two countries.
With a few habits: agreed overlap windows early in the Australian morning and late in the Canadian afternoon, clear written follow-ups, and patience over replies. Up to 17 hours apart, a warm introduction matters even more. The Canada-Australia Business Bridge connects members through people they trust on both sides. Read more
When Vancouver finishes its afternoon, the Gold Coast is starting its morning, the next day. Nothing about this bridge is simultaneous. It works like a good shift handover: one side passes the introduction across at the end of its day, and the other side picks it up with its first coffee.
