What if the biggest risks lead to the most meaningful rewards? My guest this week, Christine Goudie, is the definition of that question. As the Co-founder and CEO of Granville Biomedical, she has forged a unique path driven by a desire to use her design skills for good, starting with a one-way ticket out of Newfoundland with just $250 in her pocket.
In our chat, Christine took me through her incredible journey through multiple cities, schools, and startups, all in pursuit of a career with purpose. We explored the pivotal moments that shaped her mission to serve overlooked communities—from a bar conversation that sparked a passion for designing innovative wheelchair seating to co-founding a company that tackles taboos in women's health. Her story is a powerful lesson in the relentless, unsexy grind of building something that matters and the mental shift required to turn fear into fuel.
In this episode, we cover:
• Leaving home with only $250 and no safety net.
• Her "pie-eating contest" analogy for the entrepreneurial grind.
• The pivotal pub chat that changed her entire career path.
• Tackling taboos in women’s health with Granville Biomedical.
• Shifting from a fear of failure to asking, "But what if it works out?".
If you're looking for a dose of real, unfiltered inspiration to chase your own thing, this episode is for you.
