Kelowna Rocks and Gem of Kelowna

Alison Episode 22

1111 Gordon Dr.

When Remy and her dad turned a shared love of rocks into a small shop, they couldn’t have guessed it would grow into a thriving hub for collectors, learners, and the Kelowna rock club. In this episode, Remy shares how family support, a leap of faith, and a lot of self-teaching transformed a passion into a business. She opens up about leaving a “safe” city job, the challenges and joys of running a small business, and the importance of community — from volunteers building a workshop to local neighbors creating a little industrial-area gem.

Whether you’re into minerals, small business stories, or just need inspiration to take your own leap, this conversation is full of heart, honesty, and a reminder that effort, curiosity, and support can turn a dream into something real.
