Introducing entrepreneurship to the younger generation can shape their career aspirations and equip them with the skills to make informed decisions in the business world. Whether they embark on their own entrepreneurial journey or work for a small business, early exposure can pave the way for success.

Key Takeaways

  • The Power of Early Entrepreneurial Education: Introducing young individuals to entrepreneurship can provide clarity and direction in their future endeavours.

  • Untapped Potential: Without early exposure, many naturally entrepreneurial spirits might never discover or nurture their business inclinations.

  • Learning from Real-world Mistakes: Practical examples, like the failed venture combining cell phones and specialty soaps, highlight the need for foundational business knowledge.

  • The Backbone of the Economy: With over 30 million small businesses in the U.S. employing around 58 million people, it's crucial to recognize and nurture the next generation of business leaders.

  • Breaking Down Stereotypes: Business isn't just about numbers; it's a dynamic field filled with creativity and opportunity, contrary to some young people's perceptions.

  • A Personal Touch: Reflecting on personal experiences, the author emphasizes the value of early entrepreneurial guidance in shaping career trajectories.

In the ever-evolving job market, there's a noticeable shift in the recruitment patterns for top-tier professionals. Michael Scissons, the CEO of Careerlist, sheds light on the changing dynamics, emphasizing that while Canada's job data remains robust, the nuances in executive recruitment tell a different story.

Key Takeaways

  • Michael Scissons, founder and CEO of Careerlist, observes a change in hiring patterns for high-ranking tech executives.

  • These professionals are receiving fewer recruitment calls than they did six months ago.

  • Despite Canada adding 40,000 jobs in August and maintaining an unemployment rate of 5.5%, the Bank of Canada aims to increase unemployment to control inflation.

  • Scissons believes the data doesn't capture the entire scenario. While recruitment calls have decreased, many top professionals proactively seek new roles, anticipating an economic downturn.

  • The number of professionals entering the job market has surged in recent months, with Scissons noting a significant increase in such calls.

🎙️ Get Into It: Selfie podcast. Let’s talk self-care and mental health. Kristen Howerton, writer and psychotherapist, is joined by her longtime pal Matthias Roberts, psychotherapist, side-eye aficionado, and dog dad, as they tackle the tricky and often elusive aspects of caring for ourselves. Their weekly conversations explore questions like Can self-care be for everyone? How do I get enough sleep? partspects of my personality make self-care tricky? And what’s in this face mask? From the silly to the serious, Kristen and Matthias are taking a vulnerable and often humorous look at body, mind and spirit . . . all while looking at the distractions and defences that keep us from caring for ourselves as we should. Like that 6 p.m. deadline butting up against 6:30 p.m. soccer practice. Listen on Apple or Spotify.

🧠 Today We Learned: In the 1800s and early 1900s, mattresses were held on bed frames using a woven rope design. These ropes needed frequent tightening to ensure a taut, firm mattress for a good night’s sleep. Hence, the phrase “sleep tight” was born. The mattresses were stuffed using straw, shredded corn husks, or down feathers. These materials attracted bed begs, so over time, it became a common phrase to say, “sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite.”
