Scott Stirrett is the Co-founder and CEO of Venture for Canada, a non-profit organization on the mission to foster the entrepreneurial skills & mindsets of young Canadians. Venture for Canada’s vision is a Canada where young people can equitably realize their entrepreneurial potential to build the most prosperous place in the world.
Scott was named by the Inspire Awards as the 2018 Telus LGBTQ Innovator of the Year and was recognized on Future of Good’s 2019 list of 21 Young Impact Leaders.
In this episode, Scott and Marsha chat about how VFC shifted from a thriving in-person community to having to adapt to becoming virtually focused. We then flip the script and Scott interviews Marsha about Fuckup Nights. They chat about failure, why young people should consider entrepreneurship, and why community is more important than ever for young people.
