Stories of Northern Innovation

Venture Out is a podcast that shares the brave stories of Indigenous Northerners who are inspiring innovation and community wellbeing through business. Launched in May 2021, this series invites listeners to explore different ways of thinking about entrepreneurship and how it’s being creatively redefined in Northern communities.

Hosted and produced by EntrepreNorth’s CEO, Xina Cowan, each episode dives deep into conversations with Northern Indigenous entrepreneurs who all have a powerful story to tell. Topics include decolonizing business practices, culturally rooted leadership, and navigating the unique challenges and opportunities of building sustainable businesses and livelihoods in the North.

Venture Out’s theme song is ‘Fires Across the Tundra’ by Denendeh’s Leela Gilday. Our production team includes Xina Cowan, Jess Dunkin, and Brandon Larocque.
