Business mentorship for local youth builders

Each quarter, I personally mentor 1–2 motivated young people (ages 17–24) in the Burlington / Halton region who are serious about starting or growing a business — at no cost.

Why I do this


I believe business is one of the most powerful ways to build freedom, confidence, and opportunity.

After stepping into Chit Chats, navigating my father’s illness, scaling it to 100+ team members across multiple locations, and exiting in 2022, I gained hard-earned, practical experience about what actually works — and what doesn’t — when building something real.

Now, I want to give back by helping the next generation of entrepreneurs build confidence, avoid some of the common pitfalls, and have someone in their corner as they navigate the challenges of starting and growing a business.

What mentorship looks like

Focused, honest, one-on-one

This is my way of passing on lived experience to motivated young people in my local community. It’s not a large formal program — just focused, honest guidance for a small number of people who are ready to put in the work.


I take on 1–2 mentees per quarter with a small number of one-on-one sessions.

We focus on practical, real-world topics:


  • Turning ideas into viable businesses
  • Understanding how businesses actually operate day-to-day
  • Building structure, priorities, and decision-making habits
  • Creating consistency and resilience when starting out
  • Actionable next steps you can take between sessions


This is not ongoing business coaching or a replacement for formal education. It’s grounded, practical support for early-stage thinking and momentum.

Who this is for


This mentorship is a good fit if you are:


  • Aged 17–24 and based in the Burlington/Halton region
  • Seriously interested in starting or growing a business idea
  • Willing to show up prepared and take action between sessions
  • Open to honest feedback and practical guidance
How to apply

I personally review every application. Spots are limited each quarter, and I’ll follow up if you’re selected for the next intake.
