Made At McGill
We need more entrepreneurs and innovators in the world. In a word, Makers. But there's a well-kept secret on campus - McGill harbors Makers. They're everywhere. Every faculty, every building, every classroom. Made At McGill is a highly produced, narrative-driven podcast focused on their origin stories. And it's the first Canadian media program to commit to a 50-50 gender balance for guests.
The best way to learn entrepreneurship is by making your own mistakes. But we'd argue that the 2nd best way is to learn from others' mistakes...by listening to their stories.
