Getting Laid Off at 24 Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me

I got laid off at 24 from my "dream job" at the Ottawa Hospital — and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

In this solo episode, I break down the 4 things that took me from a layoff to financially free at 34: why being vulnerable builds your brand, the salary vs. dividends trap keeping Canadian employees from building wealth, building yourself as the asset, and why entrepreneurship is 7 years of pain before the hockey stick.
