I interview Podcast Host Karen Swyszcz from The Bacon Bits 'n' Bytes Podcast! Take a Listen!

I believe in asking questions, seeking opportunities and creating opportunities for yourself. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Science in biochemistry but am not using my degree in that sense. I have gone through several jobs, career paths and applied to grad school twice to realize that I enjoy the freedom and flexibility that comes from working remotely and working on things/at jobs you love.

I started a blog - Makinthebacon (nothing to do with actual bacon) in 2012 as a hobby and it has led me down this exciting, unpredictable path that has connected me with many inspiring, like-minded people and has presented me with many opportunities that I never would have had if I was still in a traditional 9 to 5.

From 2017- to early 2020, I provided 1:1 consulting and group workshops to small business owners. I am now currently the co-founder, focusing on business development strategy for a social enterprise, Kaibigan Connection. I have co-authored a best-selling book in women's health on Amazon called Fitness To Freedom. I have another co-authored book called Lighting The North that focuses on feminism and diversity in Canada ;launching in Nov 2020. The book has been nominated as a 2020 Non-Fiction Finalist for the Canadian Book Club Awards.

In addition to this, I am the host of The Bacon Bits 'n' Bytes Podcast - a podcast where I combine my passion of technology and entrepreneurship. Every month I interview entrepreneurs, startup founders, investors and people in tech to see what drives them and makes them tick.
