Everyone walks a unique career journey. No matter how "linear" it may look in their LinkedIn profile, it is never that simple. Most people that have careers you aspire to have had to struggle. They had their own obstacles and made their own luck. Some careers you dream about may not even be what you assumed it would be. All assumptions should be tested and that is what I seek to do in this podcast. Follow along as I interview people on what they actually do in their careers and why they made the jumps in their careers, some quite unorthodox.

#71 - Karm Sumal, CEO and Co-Founder of Daily Hive. Accountant to National Digital Media Entrepreneur.
Join in for a conversation with Karm Sumal, CEO and Co-Founder of Daily Hive. Daily Hive is a national news media company that started out in Vancouver as Vancity Buzz and now has offices in Calgary, Montreal and Toronto. As a site that started in 2008 amid a competitive industry with many regional and national giants it garners as much as 17M page views a month. Not too shabby for supporting a country of 30M. Karm did not dream of owning a digital media company. Born to immigrants in the East side of Vancouver, he became a CPA and controller for Blenz Coffee for the stable job. But him and his cofounders felt the Vancouver news media didn’t cater to the Vancouver he saw. The Vancouver that was made up of middle class immigrants that make the city what it is today. This started the 12 year journey of Daily Hive. In our conversation we talk about his early years of starting Daily Hive, what learnings he carried over from large corporation to running his own company, the media landscape and the constant ups and downs of operating a national media company.
