Written by Alexander Herman, Paul Matthews, and Andrew Feindel.
Published by Dundurn Press, 2008.

Description:

Alexander Herman, Paul Matthews, and Andrew Feindel had recently graduated from university and weren’t sure what to do with their lives. Then they had an idea. Over the next two years, they interviewed over 70 well-known Canadians in a variety of fields and asked how each had kickstarted their own careers. The stories they heard were not always what they expected. But each one proved insightful and inspiring.

Kickstart profiles Canadians who have found success in a wide variety of fields, including:
  • business (entrepreneur James Pattison)
  • science (astronomer Roberta Bondar)
  • the arts (ballerina Karen Kain)
  • pop culture (cartoonist Lynn Johnston)
  • the law (Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin)
  • politics (former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney)
  • humanitarianism (James Orbinski)
  • and journalism (June Callwood).
Their collective wisdom, offered in their own words, just might help you “kickstart” something of your own.

Alexander Herman studied at Trinity College Dublin and McGill University. His writing has appeared in both print and online publications. Paul Matthews studies English literature at Oxford University. His writing has appeared in Toronto Life, Maisonneuve, and The Globe and Mail, and he has directed three short films. Andrew Feindel studied at the Richard Ivey School of Business. He is a financial planner with Investors Group in Oakville.
