Back in November, I spoke to Kris McCarthy, Co-Founder/COO of FanSaves, and I wanted to expand that conversation.

 

This week on πŸ’«β€œI’m a Millionaire! So Now What?” πŸ’« – I talk to the female brain power behind the sports-focused mobile couponing app. πŸˆβš½οΈπŸ€

 

Meet Shannon Ferguson, FanSaves’ Co-Founder & CEO. Also a (former) competitive hockey player, we talk about:

 

πŸ’₯ The parallels between sport and business.

πŸ’₯ Overcoming overwhelming obstacles, personal and professional.

πŸ’₯ The entrepreneurial resilience reservoir.

πŸ’₯ And the power of having a vivid vision for the future – even before officially launching.

 

Women are the backbone of small business in Canada. Let’s celebrate that. πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

 

Enjoy!
