Business, Health and Wellness 00:12:02

A recent study by BDC Canada shows there are many concerns keeping entrepreneurs awake at night, but according to the report their biggest worries are generating enough revenue to make a profit (43%) and covering expenses (40%). To help cope with these stresses, entrepreneurs most often take time out or go for a walk (47%), exercise (41%) or talk to someone (29%).

Annie Marsolais, Chief Marketing Officer and Mental Health Advocate at BDC commented, “by examining this topic and collaborating with experts and partners we can help break the stigma associated with mental health issues, ensure business owners feel more at ease discussing it, and know where to turn for help.” Our interview special with Annie covers many of the reports key findings.

Dave Brown is an engineer/entrepreneur who emphasizes the centrality of HUMAN-centered DESIGN in the success of any product enterprise. He is currently the Founder/CEO of QiiQ Healthcare, focused on the operational dysfunction in hospitals. QiiQ (“Quick”) is building a sophisticated virtual assistant for hospital staff. The healthcare industry has systemically installed barriers to innovation that keep it in the “dark ages.” While most other startups rush in with obvious and perfectly reasonable solutions to impact quality of care, almost all of them overlook the most important barriers to entry, and thus fail on their choices in go-to-market.

Suzie Yorke, Founder of Love Good Fats, on the Shift from Executive to Entrepreneur

Business, Fitness, Food & Drink, Health and Wellness 00:36:13

Suzie Yorke is on a mission to bring healthy fats back. A mom, eleven-time Ironman competitor and yoga enthusiast, Suzie spent years adhering to a low-fat diet only to hit a wall in her mid-40s. After reading Nina Teicholz’s best seller, Big Fat Surprise, she immediately shifted to a high-fat, low-carb diet, and felt better right away. While she loved the benefits of her new lifestyle, Suzie found it challenging to find convenient, good-fat snacks. Seeing a gap in the marketplace and a huge opportunity to help others through food, Suzie developed Love Good Fats, a company that produces high-fat, low-carb, and low-sugar products.

Today, Suzie leads Love Good Fats’ expansion as it quickly becomes one of the fastest-growing bar brands in North America. As a 30-year veteran of the CPG industry, Suzie has worked at high-profile companies such as Proctor & Gamble, PepsiCo, Kraft Heinz, Weight Watchers, and Zag. Utilizing her accomplished marketing background, personal journey, and deep devotion and passion for health, Suzie is on a mission to spread the word that fat is back, and sugar is out! Suzie was recognized by her peers and the community with the 2019 Mompreneur :registered: Start Up Award.

Sylvie Bougie a eu la chance de s’entretenir avec Mériane Labrie de Madame Labriski! On y découvre une femme passionnée qui carbure au défi! #entrepreneur #quebec #alimentation

Madame Labriski, c’est Mériane Labrie, la femme qui carbure à la purée de dattes. Entrepreneure visionnaire, elle est auteure de best-sellers culinaires et de romans jeunesse, conférencière en série, marathonienne, maman de 2 jeunes enfants et de la marque Madame Labriski inc., qui comprend aussi Mini Labriski.

Ses livres de recettes (plus de 200 000 exemplaires vendus au Québec) sont traduits en anglais et seront lancés en Europe en 2021. Elle présente des gammes de produits alimentaires sans sucre raffiné ajouté disponible dans plus de 300 points de vente et a la ferme ambition de faire évoluer l’industrie de l’alimentation. Lauréate de nombreux prix et distinctions, sa mission est de diminuer la consommation de sucre raffiné pour améliorer la santé…
Inspirée par les plus grandes histoires de réussite entrepreneuriale mondiales, elle a décidé ne pas rêver sa vie, mais de faire de sa vie un grand rêve. C’est les deux pieds sur Terre et la tête dans les nuages qu’elle avance telle une marathonienne infatigable dans sa grande quête de changer le monde, une bouchée de purée de dattes à la fois.

Amoureuse des marques inspirantes (elle a été conceptrice-rédactrice et stratège publicitaire avant de devenir la Madame), son but ultime est de faire de Madame Labriski inc. une marque assez forte et puissante pour pouvoir, un jour, propulser fièrement des athlètes québécois et canadiens aux Jeux Olympiques.

Carburez-vous aux Labriski?

Mériane est aussi co-fondatrice de 21 grammes – Agence d’idéation.
