Listen Later

Feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of today's world? You're not alone — but uncertainty might actually be your secret weapon. In this episode of Moolala: Money Made Simple, host Bruce Sellery sits down with Scott Stirrett, author of The Uncertainty Advantage and founder of Venture for Canada, to explore how uncertainty can be transformed from a source of anxiety into a catalyst for growth.

Scott shares his personal journey — leaving Goldman Sachs at 22, navigating OCD during the pandemic, and building a national nonprofit — to illustrate how confronting the unknown can lead to resilience, purpose, and opportunity.

You’ll learn:

  • What “uncertainty” really means and why today’s world is four times more uncertain than in 2008
  • Six pillars for building your “uncertainty muscle” including adaptability, antifragility, and entrepreneurial thinking
  • How young professionals (and anyone, at any career stage) can thrive during disruptive times
  • Why cultivating both strong and weak professional ties is essential for opportunity and resilience
  • If you’re facing career uncertainty, worried about AI disruption, or just want to feel more confident about the future, this conversation is packed with actionable insights and inspiration.
