01
Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Most things that look impossible are just unsolved. The job of a founder is to refuse the default constraints and keep pushing until a path forward is found. Resourcefulness beats resources almost every time.
“I'm not sorry for having high expectations for Canada or insisting we unleash our >1M SMBs' full potential.”

Winning is a conscious choice.
You will encounter failure constantly; it is inevitable in life and your career. What matters is whether you learn fast, adjust, and keep going. The people and teams that ultimately win are the ones that simply refuse to stop.
03
Courage is rare, bet on yourself.
Intelligence is abundant. Courage is not. The willingness to take risks, speak plainly, and pursue ambitious ideas when others doubt you is what creates progress in the world.
One thing to take away
Stop being passive and go build something. The world is not built by people who are smarter than everyone else, it is built by people who take action. If you care about Canada’s future, start something and keep going.
