In this new episode Steven sits down with the Canadian entrepreneur and President of Shopify, Harley Finkelstein.

Harley was 17 years when we started his first company selling T-shirts at University. Later, while studying law at the University of Ottawa, Harley met the future co-founder of Shopify, Tobias Lütke, and became an early adopter of the platform. After graduating from law school, Harley worked as a lawyer before joining Shopify in 2010 as it’s first employee. Since then Harley has helped Shopify grow from a start-up to one of the world’s leading e-commerce platforms in the world, powering over 1 million businesses in 175 countries.

In this conversation Harley and Steven discuss topics, such as:

  • Harley’s mission to make more people into entrepreneurs
  • Why Harley had no choice but to become an entrepreneur
  • Downshifting and what ‘being enough’ truly means
  • Why Harley searches for meaning rather than happiness
