Scott Stirrett, founder and former CEO of Venture for Canada, a national charity that helps young Canadians launch their careers through entrepreneurial opportunities, training, and mentorship.

Through his work in career development, entrepreneurship, and writing, Scott helps young professionals build the practical skills, self-compassion, and resilience they need to navigate uncertainty and turn it into an advantage.

Now, Scott’s journey from leaving Goldman Sachs at 22 with no backup plan to building an $80M national organisation and later writing a bestselling book demonstrates what it looks like to lead through uncertainty rather than wait for it to disappear.

And while speaking openly about the personal cost of growth, including his experience with OCD, burnout, and rebuilding resilience, he’s helping others create careers that are both ambitious and sustainable.

Welcome to The Unforget Yourself Show where we use the power of woo and the proof of science to help you identify your blind spots, and get over your own bullshit so that you can do the fucking thing you ACTUALLY want to do!

We’re Mark and Katie, the founders of Unforget Yourself and the creators of the Unforget Yourself System and on this podcast, we’re here to share REAL conversations about what goes on inside the heart and minds of those brave and crazy enough to start their own business.

From the accidental entrepreneur to the laser-focused CEO, we find out how they got to where they are today, not by hearing the go-to story of their success, but talking about how we all have our own BS to deal with and it’s through facing ourselves that we find a way to do the fucking thing.

Along the way, we hope to show you that YOU are the most important asset in your business (and your life - duh!).

Being a business owner is tough! With vulnerability and humor, we get to the real story behind their success and show you that you’re not alone.
