Here's How. EP 32 | Denis Duquette | The work you do when no one's watching matters most.

In this episode of Here’s How., we sit down with Denis Duquette, founder of Uproar Productions in Moncton, NB, to explore what it really takes to build a meaningful career from the ground up. Denis shares his story of starting out doing the hard, often overlooked work—the long hours, the tough projects, the grind that happens when no one is paying attention.

This conversation is about the reality behind success and the importance of showing up consistently when the cameras aren’t rolling and no one’s clapping. Denis also shares his thoughts on setting professional boundaries, learning when to say no, and finding a sense of work-life harmony in an industry that rarely slows down.

Spoiler alert: Denis still hasn't really ever slowed down.

We also talk about the creative energy that exists right here in the Maritimes—a region that produces world-class talent but often flies under the radar. Denis brings valuable perspective on what makes this part of the world special and why we need to start owning our potential.

This episode is a genuine look at what it means to build, grow, and find balance in the process—without chasing shortcuts or instant results.

Here's How.
