Entrepreneurship Is A Mindset: Shopify President Harley Finkelstein On Why Failure Is The Path To Success

Harley Finkelstein is Shopify’s President and an entrepreneur who started his first company at 13.

This conversation explores the intersection of commerce and personal growth through Harley’s iconoclastic lens. We discuss democratizing entrepreneurship, the role of anxiety as fuel for achievement, and why this might be the most generative moment in history to start a business.

Harley challenges my self-perception as an entrepreneur, forcing me to untether from limiting beliefs about what it means to build something meaningful.

Sharp, vulnerable, and endlessly optimistic—this exchange offers a fresh take on modern entrepreneurship. Enjoy!
