060 | Running a business alongside her daughter and focusing on the pursuit of joy with Jace Meyer | PT 3

PT 3: Jace Meyer is a mother of one and award-winning serial entrepreneur who launched COYA Productions to prioritize experiencing joy with her daughter every day. She is currently living on the territory of the Lekwungen speaking peoples and serves on several boards as a director.

In our third and final episode, we talk about how hard it is to find childcare and her belief that you're not a product of your circumstances, you're the consequences of your actions.

THINGS WE TALK ABOUT:

• How the pandemic has demonstrated the importance of community and family
• The reality of navigating childcare and showing up with your kids in business environments
• What she wishes someone would have told her about parenthood and business
• Looking at the early startup days in comparison to the pregnancy and birthing process
• Her belief that you are not a product of your circumstances, you're the consequences of your actions

Thanks again to Jace Meyer for taking the time to speak about all things parenthood, leadership, social impact and entrepreneurship.

Season 4 has been sponsored by the Startup Community Empowerment Fund, presented by Startup Canada, Mastercard, UPS and BDC.
