What a fantastic evening at our latest Young Professionals event!

We brought together an engaged group of young professionals at The Rivoli in Toronto for Road to Entrepreneurship: Real Stories from Those Who Did It. The discussion was open, honest, and full of valuable insights — from taking the first steps to navigating challenges and building something meaningful over time.

A heartfelt thank you to our speakers, Marika Arovuo and John Christensen, for sharing their journeys with such openness and authenticity.

A big thank you to the Rivoli team for hosting us and to Sabina Hirsbrunner for guiding the conversation.

We wrapped up the evening with a fun round of Two Truths and a Lie — great energy and lots of laughs 😆 !
