Fireside Chat: Building for Tomorrow with Jason Feifer, Editor-In-Chief, Entrepreneur Magazine
When Jason Feifer joined Entrepreneur Magazine in 2015, he wasn't comfortable with change. As he writes in his his book Build for Tomorrow, "I had taken risks during my career, but they were always in a safe, narrow space. I have an unchanging vision of my purpose, my abilities and my direction. Then I started talking to professional innovators, and I discovered an entirely new way of thinking."
To celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week and the very innovators who changed his perspectives, Jason joins GEN for a fireside chat moderated by GEN Starters Club member and Entrepreneurship World Cup finalist Soumya Dabriwal. The duo will discuss how founders - and everyone around them, in all parts of the world - can embrace change at work and in life for the best possible outcome.
Watch live at 8 am ET on Facebook, LinkedIn or X.
Why You Should Watch:
- Learn how to embrace and optimize change as moments of opportunity
- Explore entrepreneurial lessons that apply to everyone, whether you are a founder, considering starting a business, considering your next career move or navigating a life transition.
