As the landscape of modern business shifts away from traditional retail toward digital products, community building, and consulting, today's founders need to adapt. Head to the S. Walter Stewart Library in East York for 'The Future Entrepreneur,' an interactive session exploring the creator economy and multi-income stream models.
