Meet Tammy Defoe of GTApreneurs.com

Tammy discusses her career journey, starting with fitness then financial services and transitioning to public speaking after a back injury in 2018. She developed her own public speaking course and registered GTAPreneurs as a sole proprietorship in 2019, eventually choosing self-employment over a business development manager position. Despite the challenges of COVID-19, Tammy's business flourished as she adapted to virtual networking events, allowing her to connect with people she otherwise wouldn't have met.
