Vancouver-based Jessica Werb writes about business while juggling motherhood and a side career as a cellist. A former senior writer at Bcbusiness, she returns to profile some of our EY Entrepreneur of theyear finalists (p.31). “It's always fascinating to learn about the different avenues entrepreneurs have taken to finding success,” Werb says. “But one thing they all share is a spirit of independence and creativity.”

Photographer Melanie Dunea (“The Gambler,” p.62) lives in Newyork but travels the world shooting high-profile subjects ranging from Jon Bon Jovi and Steve Martin to Anthony Bourdain and Patti Labelle. When Dunea photographed Scott Menke and Diana Bennett, the Parq Vancouver resort and casino was in the final stages of construction. “Working on a construction site, there are a lot of rules,” she says. “I've never shot with a hard hat on before.”
