Shane Murphy, Ownr CEO

Ownr CEO Shane Murphy talks about helping entrepreneurs simplify starting their own businesses, why he came to Toronto as a victim of financial circumstances, his path of starting a tech platform that has been acquired by RBCx, the apparent hypocrisy of moving from starting HIS own business to now working for ‘The Man’ [only Canada’s largest bank!], Canadian entrepreneurship trends [micro-preneurs/solo-preneurs that are truly bootstrapping] and why we should STOP using the term ‘side-hustle,’ why it no longer takes money to make money, reconciling the facts that although it has never been easier to start your own business there is an 80% failure rate over 5 years, his promise that the company blog is a supremely exciting resource, how he managed to calm his parents when he announced he was leaving corporate litigation for starting up his own small business, and he shares the dirty secrets of starting your own business that corporate lawyers don’t want you to know!
