Introduction

A successful entrepreneur knows two things, says Jim Estill, CEO of Danby Appliance and ShipperBee,-  how to make money while doing good, and how to profit from failure.

Jim is a Canadian technology entrepreneur, executive, and philanthropist. He started his first computer distribution business from the trunk of his car while in university and grew that business to $2 Billion in sales.

Jim has invested in, mentored and advised many technology companies including Blackberry, and he is the 2019 EY Entrepreneur of the Year Ontario winner.

“If you’re not failing, you’re not skating close enough to the edge.”

In this week’s episode of the #StartupCanadaPodcast, sponsored by Mastercard and Ceridian, Jim discusses the best way to fail, and why creating social and environmental impact will make you money.
