Short excerpt from a YouTube interview (May 22, 2025) where host Matan Hazanov asks for final words to entrepreneurs. Speaker B urges entrepreneurs — both venture-scale founders and small-business operators — to experiment with AI, adapt to a shifting landscape in how businesses are built today versus 5–10 years ago, and to be on the leading edge of AI adoption because future opportunities will be hard to predict.
Do you have any final words for entrepreneurs struggling today? There's a host of challenges facing entrepreneurs especially in Canada for multitude of reasons. What's your advice to them?
Try to experiment more especially with AI coming in the way that it is. We're going through that transition. So much is changing and is about to change. The way that you built a business five or 10 years ago is very different than the way that you build a business today and I think this advice is probably mostly for the people on the venture scale path but still probably is also true for building a small profitable business as well. Think about how your space is changing. Think about and please do experiment with AI and push yourself to use it more and think about where those opportunities are going to be. It's so hard to predict where they're going to be and so the more you can be involved that today and be at the leading edge of that today you'll have.
