The first episode of Founders Drive, a startup podcast - about startups.
In this episode, Katie Sampson, Deidra Clarke, Tammy Raycraft, and Andrew Neary share the personal stories of the faces behind the stats. People who have encountered financial barriers, experienced discrimination, grew up in underrepresented communities, have disabilities or weren’t taken seriously because of their age.
In this episode, we speak with six successful entrepreneurs who faced these issues during their paths to starting their own businesses.
Frank Porco is a tattoo artist and the owner of Against the Grain, an independent tattoo parlour in downtown Whitby, Ont.
Naa-Adei Laura Marmon is a fashion designer who creates meaningful articles that pay tribute to her heritage.
Jenna McInnes and Ashley Moore are the proud founders of Bombshell Beauty Bar, a one-stop shop for all things beauty and esthetics in Bowmanville, Ont.
Mary Jubran is a digital editor who just can’t get enough of side hustles under her belt and Kevin Shaw is a one-time DJ, serial entrepreneur and broadcast personality who decided to start his own legacy.
