About this event
Event lasts 2 hours

To celebrate Yukon Innovation Day 2025, join us for another deep dive to break the failure taboo with local business owners.

Navigating risk and roadblocks as a business owner can feel like riding a roller coaster. What happens when you hit a MAJOR roadblock? Looking back in the rearview mirror, how did you navigate the decisions that changed your trajectory? And how do you leap from the roller coaster into the driver’s seat.

Local business owners Lisa Organ (Cozy Café & Bakery), Tarek Bos (Bos Consulting Group; ColdAcre), and Dan Johnson (Total North Communications) will share honest stories of how they’ve honed their experience, mindset, and shifted their relationship with failure over time. Facilitated by Caitlyn MacMaster (YukonU Innovation & Entrepreneurship).
