In this episode I share how venture capital fits in the entrepreneur's journey, as well as the work I do, which is primarily in public venture capital.

Improving our mental health can have profound and lasting impacts on our lives, the lives of those around us, and our communities. In Canada, it is estimated that 20% of Canadians experience problems with their mental health in any given year, and half of the population has faced some level of mental health issues by the time they turn 40.

In this episode I share tips and strategies that I've used over the years to improve my own mental health, which I feel may help you on your journey as well.
