What is it like to be the first startup in your industry? The first to disrupt? The first to see the problem and know that you can fix it? I’ll Go Now (previously known as I'll Go First), is podcast from The Globe and Mail, that takes us on the journey to find out. With unflinching access, host Takara Small helps us understand how the creators behind some of the most successful startups balance work and life – an often-blurred state. From the biggest mess-ups to their most brag-worthy achievements, I’ll Go Now chronicles what it is really like to be the first in your field, the first to cut the path and blaze the trail.
