With The Go-To, we're making education accessible and digestible, in 20-minute episodes that can fit into breakfast time or in between meetings," she continued, adding that guests are experienced, successful Canadian entrepreneurs themselves such as Joanna Griffiths, Priya Chopra, Traci Costa, Taran Ghatrora and many more.
