Never Giving Up with Shannon Ferguson – March 26th 2020

What’s the one thing you can control when you’re faced with incredible adversity? Your choice to stop or push through – and Shannon Ferguson, knows which one she’d pick every single day.

Shannon and her co-founder know the struggles sports teams and organizations face selling sponsorships when sponsors want to see how their dollars perform and engage with their brand, as well as who their sponsorship attracts into their business– and that's exactly how FanSaves was born! Since then, FanSaves has been been a Top 100 Finalist at the Startup of the Year Competition in 2018 and 2019, Won the 2019 RC100 Startup Competition and received 1st Place at Get in the Ring Ottawa 2019, 1st Place at the CIC Pitchfest 2018, and 2nd Place at SaaS North 2018. 

“I don’t want women to ever give up – in life, or in business. Keep going, cross that bridge, keep swimming, because it will pay off.”

On this week’s THRIVE Podcast, sponsored by the Business Development Bank of Canada and Scotiabank, Shannon talks about never giving up and making the most of life’s hard lessons.
