1 00:00:04.710 --> 00:00:06.660 Vlad Sherbatov: There is a big difference between seeing those 2 00:00:06.660 --> 00:00:10.230 gaps and also taking that plunge into the entrepreneurial 3 00:00:10.230 --> 00:00:14.940 lifestyle. And that is something that not everybody is willing to 4 00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:19.920 do. And talk about this and talk about your life as an 5 00:00:19.950 --> 00:00:23.250 entrepreneur, did you always have that desire? Or is it just 6 00:00:23.250 --> 00:00:27.090 something that you got inspired into throughout your life? How 7 00:00:27.090 --> 00:00:28.860 did you end up doing this? 8 00:00:29.489 --> 00:00:33.037 Unknown: Yeah, that's a good question. It's definitely not 9 00:00:33.109 --> 00:00:37.526 something I like necessarily was pursuing since graduating or 10 00:00:37.599 --> 00:00:41.437 even earlier, which I know is the case with that some 11 00:00:41.509 --> 00:00:45.999 entrepreneurs. But what I came to observe throughout my career 12 00:00:46.071 --> 00:00:50.343 and working with big companies is that one thing I did want 13 00:00:50.416 --> 00:00:54.978 from my career was working for an organization that was focused 14 00:00:55.050 --> 00:00:59.178 on growth. Because I think that's where you learned so so 15 00:00:59.250 --> 00:01:03.740 much, because you're trying to move quickly, and you're trying 16 00:01:03.812 --> 00:01:08.229 to get new customers and that and to do that you need to find 17 00:01:08.302 --> 00:01:12.646 kind of innovative, and ideas that haven't been done before. 18 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:17.208 And then when my co founder kind of came to me with this idea, 19 00:01:17.281 --> 00:01:21.626 and said, you know what the Canadian market is behind. We've 20 00:01:21.698 --> 00:01:26.043 seen some of this innovation happening in other markets like 21 00:01:26.115 --> 00:01:30.605 this is the time to do it. And let's I think there's a big gap 22 00:01:30.677 --> 00:01:34.732 and kind of how slow the industry is moving to meet some 23 00:01:34.805 --> 00:01:38.208 of these new customer expectations. And there's 24 00:01:38.281 --> 00:01:42.843 probably a place for us to play a big role here. I was I jumped 25 00:01:42.915 --> 00:01:43.350 on it. 26 00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:45.990 Vlad Sherbatov: Don't forget to subscribe to the Smarter Loans 27 00:01:46.041 --> 00:01:49.287 YouTube channel for more videos that will help you make smarter 28 00:01:49.339 --> 00:01:50.370 financial decisions.
