Jamie Sangster, Lt. Commander in the Royal Canadian Navy, never considered himself a natural entrepreneur. Though he has 20 years of military service, he had no experience in sales or business ownership. “I was never one of those kids who put up a lemonade stand in the summer,” he says. And yet, the idea of building his own business appealed – for the ﬂexibility it offered, and the challenge of taking on the risks and rewards – leading Jamie to decide to leave the Navy.
