On the show, we spoke about:

  • Getting his start in digital marketing in early days of the web
  • Growing Adviso and working with Canada’s largest brands
  • How adaptability is the 10X skill necessary to succeed
  • The concept of entrepreneurial succession and how he plans on selling his company to his employees
  • Becoming a manager versus an entrepreneur
  • How having a quarterly focus is the enemy of long-term thinking
  • Adviso’s blog

 

I admire JF and his team enormously. As usual, I left inspired after talking to him. I hope that you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!
