Welcome to part two of our Edmonton Startup Week podcast series.

On today's episode I had the great pleasure of sitting down with James Keirstead from Levven Electronics to talk about a host of topics that should resonate with every entrepreneur as well as inspire those who may be considering entrepreneurialism.

James is a tireless advocate for entrepreneurs in Edmonton and Alberta, and this candid interview really sheds light on his approach to business and life.
