## Resource

Scott Stirrett left a prestigious career at Goldman Sachs to build something from nothing — and it changed everything he understood about growth. In this episode, Scott (founder of Venture for Canada, author of The Uncertainty Advantage) breaks down why comfort is actually the biggest threat to your growth, and how uncertainty — the thing most of us run from — is a skill you can systematically build.
