7. Volume: Kelsey Ramsden: No One Gets Out of This Alive

We’re not getting out of this alive, that’s an unfortunate fact of life. Rather than fearing the inevitable, it’s time to focus on building upon your passions, play with ideas and let go of your all-consuming ego. Welcome to The Psychology of Entrepreneurship, a candid and revealing series that follows Ronsley Vaz and his guests, as they strive to unravel the inner workings of the entrepreneurial mind and explain why even the most successful among us experience Imposter Syndrome.  If you are someone who is holding back, feeling unworthy of your success or questioning your competency as a professional, this podcast is for you. Kelsey Ramsden is a rare combination of prolific entrepreneur and philosopher. She’s candid, practical yet empathetic, and excruciatingly funny.  Her genuine understanding of the entrepreneurial hurdles we face means that when clients walk through her consulting firm’s doors, she lends a guiding hand - not as a ‘guru’ but as a wingman.   Kelsey has been crowned Canada’s #1 Female Entrepreneur twice in a row and is globally revered for her multimillion-dollar businesses. In 2005, she created Tallus Ridge Development, a residential project management company in Kelowna, British Columbia. By 2012, she had also founded the children's monthly subscription service, SparkPlay, based in London, Ontario. Renowned for her thought-provoking yet humorous keynote speeches, she's in high demand when it comes to lending her perspective on business, leadership, entrepreneurship and lifestyle.  Kelsey has conquered the stages of some of the world’s biggest events, including TEDx.
