As part of Global Entrepreneurship Week, Startup Revelstoke brought Nikolas Badminton, Futurist, in to talk to a group of 13 to 19 year olds and simulcast it across Canada as well.
Nikolas talks about the state of the nation in terms of employment, how to consider operating in school, what is important to learn, and 5 considerations for now and the future.

  1. Follow your heart, and realize that there is no such thing as failure.
  2. Travel and get international experience.

  4. Keep friends, family, and community close.
  5. Be brave, trust serendipity, and reinvent yourself every 3 to 5 years.
