What does entrepreneurship look like? What does a successful entrepreneur do? The perception of entrepreneurship varies in different places with different people, including First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities.
In the Season 2 opener of Founders Drive, meet the new members of the team to hear about why we joined as well as what we learned about culture, tradition and innovation and how it ties to entrepreneurship from conversations with Indigenous entrepreneurs.
In this episode Megan Foster discusses her conversation with Jacob Crane, a program manager for Indigenous entrepreneurship at United College, about how Indigenous entrepreneurship is rooted in community values and the challenges faced by founders on reserves.
We also hear from Navraj Sandhar, who explores the culinary world of entrepreneurship with Tamara Green of Indigenesis, a personal chef who provides catering services using only pre-contact ingredients with a modern twist.
Andre Spence travelled to St. Catharines, Ontario to speak with Jenn Harper, the founder of Indigenous cosmetics brand Cheekbone Beauty, whose mission is to empower Indigenous youth and promote sustainability in the beauty industry.
