Strategic Growth Forum reflections

What an energizing few days at the EY Strategic Growth Forum in Palm Desert, California!

From sitting front row (had to!) to hear the entrepreneurial journeys of lengendary female founders Martha Stewart and Bobbi Brown, to dancing to an epic Flo Rida performance, to hearing from an exceptional speaker's lineup and having countless meaningful conversations with fascinating entrepreneurs from across North America — my cup is full.

Entrepreneurship is thrilling, but it can also be lonely. Spaces like this — that provide rich inspiration and foster genuine, playful connection — are what keep the fire burning.

I was honoured to cheer on Morgan Marlowe and spend time with the Canadian crew in attendance including Marnie Rabinovitch Consky, Joanne Sallay, and Michael Handelsman — who made the experience even more special.

And a heartfelt thank you to Rachel Rodrigues, CPA, CA, and the entire EY team for hosting one of the most extraordinary conferences I’ve ever attended. I’m heading home deeply grateful for the inspiration, the conversations, and the reminder that no one builds anything great alone. (And the best conference food ever!)
