Spencer Vandermeer comes on the podcast to discuss his recent decision to change career paths during the pandemic after leaving his job in technical sales. He mentions that he wants to pursu his photography business full time and leave himself open to any other opportunities that come along the way.  

He has a mechanical engineering degree from the University of Alberta and it's not his foray into entrepreneurship, he was previously the founder and managing director of Ventrify, a tech product design company right after he graduated university.  

Spencer discusses what to expect when making a career change and the challenges, as well as rewards you can expect to experience. He touches on the benefits from taking on entrepreneurship and the growth that it promotes. In contrast, he also speaks on strategies for managing the stress and anxiety of leaving your current position.
