Alexander Herman, Paul Matthews, and Andrew Feindel had recently graduated from university and weren't sure what to do with their lives. Then they had an idea. Over the next two years, they interviewed well-known Canadians to find out how they had kickstarted their own careers. The stories they heard were not always what they expected, but each one proved insightful and inspiring.
