Leading the Canadian music scene for over two decades is George Stroumboulopoulos, a Toronto-born pop culture legend who’s shared stories and experiences with the world’s best in sound and entertainment. Not everyone can make it to where George has, but those who do follow his sage advice:“I’m a big believer in ‘just go for it’. George has introduced thousands of Canadians to new beats, sounds, and stories as a MuchMusic VJ in the early 2000s, and more recently as the host of the Strombo Show and George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight. His latest gig, House of Strombo, features a big-name concert series that airs on Apple Music and CBC Radio 2. He’s championed environmentalism and social change as an advocate for the UN’s World Food Programme, Nelson Mandela’s Children’s Fund, and Canada for Haiti, just to name a few. In this week’s #StartupPodcast, the interviewer becomes interviewee as host Rivers Corbett talks to George about innovation within media and how his multi faceted career led him to where he is today.
