Storytellers
Posted by Mark Harrison in Mark Harrison, TrojanOne on March 2nd, 2011
This morning, I arranged a couple of meetings at my club and I decided to hang out in the “President’s Lounge” between client chats.
Never been to the Lounge, but quickly discovered this is where I will probably spend my retirement days. Hopefully I will be as active as half of the octogenarians who were hanging out in here after their morning tennis matches, Pilates classes, or yoga sessions. Read the rest of this entry »
Fun & Games

It’s hard to say you’re going to Halifax “on business” with a straight face.
Don’t get me wrong, Haligonians; I’m not saying that there isn’t serious business to be done in your beautiful harbour town. It’s just that it also happens to be one fun city. Of course, what would you expect when you combine six universities, the largest military base in Canada, and a downtown core highlighted by a collection of bars called “The Liquor Dome?” Read the rest of this entry »
When Pride Still Mattered
Posted by Mark Harrison in Mark Harrison, TrojanOne on January 20th, 2011
Spotlights making his large shadow larger, “Lombardi” emerged from the darkness, slowly striding to centre stage.
My ticket told me that I was sitting in The Circle in the Square Theatre. The calendar told me it was December 29, 2010. My body told me I was 45 years old.
Lombardi on Broadway
But as I saw the “Lombardi” character emerge onstage to open the play bearing his name, I was emotionally transported. Read the rest of this entry »
Lucas’ Story
Posted by Mark Harrison in Mark Harrison, TrojanOne on January 13th, 2011
One of our colleagues needs your help.
Lucas Spata, just 35 years old, of the Vancouver Canucks marketing team is losing his three-year battle with micro cell cancer. He is presently in a hospice in Vancouver and soon he will leave behind a young widow and a three-year-old son. Read the rest of this entry »
Top 10 of 2010
Posted by Mark Harrison in Mark Harrison, TrojanOne on December 20th, 2010
It’s that time year. Top ten lists. Top 100 lists. Greatest people. Most newsworthy people. Best pictures. Worst dressers. Saddest deaths. Happiest births. Favourite movies. Worst moments. Greatest hits. Worst TV shows.
As a person who never likes to miss a good bandwagon, I need to share the official “MH3” Top 10 in 2010 list. Yes, this could be the most borrowing collection of words you have ever read. But humour me, my friends. Read the rest of this entry »
One Mo’ Time!
Posted by Mark Harrison in Mark Harrison, TrojanOne on November 25th, 2010
What would a Friday be without another pitch from MoH3?
Speaking of MoH3, I was calling myself MH1000 in the office when I joined the platinum club. But this week, as I raced through the MM barrier all the way to $2300 raised, I switched it up to MH2000.
So, my first order of business is a hearty thank-you to all of you who have supported me and my team. Read the rest of this entry »
Mo’mentum
Posted by Mark Harrison in Mark Harrison, TrojanOne on November 18th, 2010
The Mo’ is flowing at MojanOne!
This week I personally passed the Mollenium mark in fundraising, scoring $1236.00 to date in support of Prostate Cancer research. Thanks to all of my Mo’ Bros and Mo’ Sistas who have supported me. And if you haven’t…. Well, click here and show me the Mo’ney!!!
Apparently, cracking the big M has me in something called the “Platinum Club”. That’s the trackable part of this fundraiser. But what isn’t tracked is the really important stuff. The jokes. The jabs. The conversations. The raising awareness. The office camaraderie. The teasing. The styling. The education. Read the rest of this entry »
Mo’ Pitch!
Posted by Mark Harrison in Mark Harrison, TrojanOne on November 4th, 2010
I’m a stickler for typos, so it took me a few minutes to realize that when one of my MojanOne “Movember” teammates sent me the one sentence email, “How is it Moing?” that they weren’t being sloppy! Or MOppy! They were having mo’ fun!
Sensing there was some MOmentum building in our office for this MOvember thing, I wanted to check out how the rest of our team was doing.
Our Calgary team, who are sporting the IDA moniker for Integrated Duster Activations, struck a pose on Day One that has them off and facing to some big fundraising goals. One of our interns has already raised two hundred and ten MOllars! Meow! Read the rest of this entry »
