Steph Mackie is the Co-owner of the agency Mackie Biernacki in Toronto. Steph has held positions at a number of creative shops including Lowe Roche, TBWA Chiat/Day, Leo Burnett and other notables, before hanging a shingle herself. In this episode, Steph talks about her start following in her father’s footsteps, how cultural differences impact creative development  (she was once reprimanded for disgracing a tea bag while working in England) and how we view opportunities as risk when going it alone in business but rarely talk of the risk of not pursuing our dreams.
