Join us as local entrepreneurs share their hard-won start up successes & laugh out loud blunders. A useful conversation while connecting with a community of engaged Yukoners. Powered by Marg & Rolf Hougen.
We record the talks as we build an archive of the lessons learned by Yukon’s most intrepid entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneur Documentary Series: Kaska Dena Designs
This is the inspiring story of Natasha Peter, owner, and artist of Kaska Dena Designs. Through her work, she honours her teachers, heals, connects with her culture, and absorbs the inspiration of the land. She creates from her heart. With each stitch, a legacy is sewn. We hope you are as inspired and moved by her story and art as we are.
Entrepreneur Documentary Series: Aurum Skincare
This short documentary elegantly captures the work and ethos of Aurum Skincare. A compelling portrait of two entrepreneurs, Joanne Sherrard and Elise McCormick, who not only sought a solution to their problem, but built a lab to create the solution, bottle it, and then sell it nationally; all while honouring their respect for nature. We hope you feel as moved by Joanne and Elise’s purpose and self determination as we are.
