Daft Punk - The Grid - Tron Legacy (Kodin Remix)

The Great One summed it nicely for Hootsuite CEO Ryan Holmes:

“You miss 100 per cent of the shots you don’t take.”

It’s a piece of advice often quoted by CEO’s and sports stars alike, but Holmes couples it with another mantra: Hustle. Everyday. 

Just like hockey legend Wayne Gretzky missed the net the first time he shot a puck, Holmes’ first product wasn’t a roaring success. Today he is the CEO of a company with over 10 million customers, and his product is one used by athletes, politicians, and entertainers worldwide. 

How did he get here? Holmes hustled to build, innovate, fail, and find market fit. He hustled to find the perfect founding team, and to be his company’s greatest cheerleader. 

In this edition of the Startup Canada Podcast with host Rivers Corbett, The Man Behind Hootsuite shares his insights on the basics of business and the future of entrepreneurship in Canada. Hint: It involves the “h” word.
