Had an interesting call with one of the Canadian embassies in Africa a few days ago. This is something we only recently discovered, but Canada has trade commissioners all around the world.

Had a few good solopreneur partnership discussions recently, including one in-person coffee chat. And it got me thinking – what is the tradeoff for doing in-person meetings? Now a few years ago (read: pre-Covid), we may not even be asking that question, because it was so “normal” to do lots of meetings in-person. During and …

Got some crappy news yesterday from our immigration firm. For the most part I like(d) being an immigration lawyer, but there’s one thing that really sucks to have to deal with.

As mentioned last week, did some thinking about what kind of content I want to keep putting out for SG this year. And I decided to try a new podcast style. For one, I’ve been hosting the SG Podcast for years – interviewing other solopreneurs to learn about their journeys and lessons learned. It’s been …
