I'm curious: do your passions and hobbies — seemingly unconnected to your career — give you an unexpected professional edge?

Growing up, Mona loved nothing more than donning her dad's old headphones and immersing herself in his record collection for hours. She had a deep affection for the arts, theatre, and the craft of writing.

Nevertheless, she decided to pursue a career as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).

Fortunately, for the business world, she infuses her creative gifts in every room she enters, whether it be…

Negotiating multi-million dollar merger and acquisition deals.

Serving as CFO and COO for Knix Wear — an incredible Canadian success story.

And today, as a Partner with the Thrive Venture Fund at BDC, she plays a vital role in the $300M Fund, which invests in women-led technology companies tackling some of the world's most pressing issues.

Learn how your creative edge and unique skills can help you approach problems differently and offer new perspectives.

This episode is for you if:

You’re bringing business ideas to fruition with limited time and capital.
You want to leverage your creative skills to diversify your income streams.
