Scott Stirrett was the Founder and CEO of Venture for Canada, a national charity that fosters entrepreneurial skills in young Canadians by recruiting, training, and supporting them to work for innovative Canadian small businesses and startups.

After running the venture for a decade, Stirrett has collated many of his learnings into a book, titled “The Uncertainty Advantage: Launching Your Career in an Era of Rapid Change.”

In this episode, Stirrertt speaks with Ivey Faculty Member Eric Janssen about turning down a job at Goldman Sachs, launching and growing Venture for Canada, and the six pillars cited in his book for building our “uncertainty muscle” for a world that is looking more and more volatile.

The Entrepreneur Podcast is sponsored by Quantumshift 2008 alum and founder of Closing the Gap Healthcare Group, Dr Connie Clerici.
