Do we have little bio of Isaac and how he got one of the "golden tickets" ?

I’m running a website dedicated to music and culture and loved the event (followed broadcasting). I wanted to include this on my website but have had big challenges as I’m not managing content directly but using Bell web solutions instead. Next time try to make the announcement in advance so we can arrange with all stockholders. Thanks for sharing anyway

We learned of the event the day before and by the time it filtered through to the decision makers it was posted instantly. We can't announce things that we don't know about.
