GrowthReady

Aaron Golub, entrepreneur and the first legally blind Division I football player, has a clear take on hiring family and friends.

People hear how Aaron and his sister work together and assume it’s a good idea. He disagrees. Their relationship works because of a very specific history and a unique way they learned to operate as a team.

His rule is simple... in most cases, don’t hire friends or family unless it’s a truly specific circumstance, because if it goes sideways, you don’t just lose the work. You can lose the relationship.

Would you rather protect the relationship… or risk it for the role?

What does it mean to be Growth𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 in a world this uncertain?

Scott Stirrett, Canadian entrepreneur, author of The Uncertainty Advantage, and Founder of Venture for Canada, has spent the last decade helping early-career professionals build entrepreneurial skills for a fast-changing world.

He says being GrowthReady means embracing uncertainty instead of fearing it. With AI reshaping work, political instability, and a more interconnected world, uncertainty isn’t going away.

Your ability to cope with uncertainty is a teachable skill. You can train it and get better at thriving in it over time.

When uncertainty shows up, do you tighten up… or lean in?
