What happens when you blend entrepreneurship, storytelling, and a deep sense of community? This week's guest has built a space and a movement that’s changing how we work, connect, and innovate. Hosts Robin and Al sit down with Qasim Virjee, a serial entrepreneur, storyteller, and founder of StartWell, a Toronto-based innovation campus redefining how we work, connect, and create.

From his early days in Kenya to his multi-faceted career in media, music, and tech, Qasim shares a deeply personal and thought-provoking journey. He opens up about the evolution of StartWell, how the pandemic became a surprising catalyst for reinvention, and why community is at the heart of entrepreneurship. If you’re passionate about the future of work, education reform, or simply want to hear from someone who’s building more than just a business, this conversation is for you.

Key takeaways:

✨ Work, Reimagined – StartWell blends co-working, media, and events to foster innovation and human connection.

✨ Rooted in Resilience – Qasim's journey from Kenya to Canada highlights adaptability, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit.

✨ Education Needs a Shift – Canada’s school system must evolve to nurture entrepreneurial thinking and innovation.
