Hosted by Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) Southwestern Ontario


Doug was invited to deliver his signature keynote, "Exponential Entrepreneurship: Mastering the Art of Serial Business Growth," as the featured speaker at Entrepreneur’s Chronicles, an exclusive event hosted by EO Southwestern Ontario. Presented in an intimate setting of approximately 40 entrepreneurs, the event provided a powerful forum for honest, experience-based conversations about the entrepreneurial journey.


In this session, Doug pulled back the curtain on the complex reality of serial entrepreneurship—sharing candid stories of rapid growth, near-collapse, and the balancing act of managing multiple ventures simultaneously. He explored the emotional and strategic challenges of scaling, sustaining focus, and staying aligned with purpose amid high-stakes decisions.



Special thanks to Luke Shantz and Diane Stogiannes for the opportunity to connect with such a dynamic group of founders and share insights on the real rewards, challenges, and opportunities of building and growing businesses over time.
