Japanese Alternative Fashion. Taking up Space. Helping Young Entrepreneurs across Canada. This episode is all about repurposing a teaching degree to create new career directions. "Life happens", says Melissa Backhouse as she takes us on a journey from teachers' college to working with Futurpreneurs Canada, helping hundreds of new businesses get off the ground. But we also learn about her passion for Japanese Lolita fashion, designing clothes that connect her with a whole community of people with similar interests. And of course wouldn't we discover Melissa is launching a small business of her own: making and selling jewelry!
