VANCOUVER, Oct. 3, 2019 /CNW/ - Today, Forum for Women
Entrepreneurs (FWE), in collaboration with The Scotiabank Women
Initiative™, launched a podcast series: The Go-To: For
Entrepreneurs in the Know, bringing accessible, free and
tangible education to women entrepreneurs across Canada.
The Go-To, is a bi-weekly podcast available in both
official languages, English and French, and is available on Apple
Podcast, Google Play and more, and at www.fwe.ca/thegoto and
scotiabankwomeninitiative.com.
The series will focus on business and entrepreneurship
essentials. Featuring inspiring and successful Canadian women
entrepreneurs and Scotiabank experts, each episode dives into

listeners.
"We are delighted to team up with FWE to bring tailored
education to women business leaders through our program," said
Gillian Riley, President and CEO,
Tangerine, and executive sponsor of The Scotiabank Women
Initiative™. "Empowering women through education is fundamental to
helping women take their businesses to the next level. The podcast
series is a way for women leaders to continue learning from each
other – it's a great addition to the self-directed education,
mentorship and boot camps we offer to our clients."
The Scotiabank Women Initiative™ is a comprehensive program that
supports women-owned, women-led businesses by providing access to
capital, mentorship and education.
"FWE is proud to collaborate with The Scotiabank Women
Initiative™ to make The Go-To possible," said
Paulina Cameron, CEO of FWE, and
host of the podcast. "An entrepreneur's day is full with seemingly
never-ending to-dos and meetings, and yet the journey can still
feel lonely and overwhelming amidst all the decisions that need to
be made. With The Go-To, we're making education accessible
and digestible, in 20-minute episodes that can fit into breakfast
time or in between meetings," she continued, adding that guests are
experienced, successful Canadian entrepreneurs themselves such as
Joanna Griffiths, Priya Chopra, Traci
Costa, Taran Ghatrora and
many more.
