I've always been fascinated by complex challenges and disruptive thinking. 

My true passion is in building new things, from products to companies to organizational structures and means to foster creativity and collaboration. 

I believe everyone has the potential to accomplish the bold if we approach challenges with curiosity and a desire to learn.

Today we'll be watching the total solar eclipse from our office. 

Between 2 and 4:30pm, Ontario will experience a total solar eclipse with the peak occurring around 3:20 pm. The experience will vary significantly depending on location within Ontario - in our area, we are on the border of totality and anticipate close to 100 percent coverage.

We wish everyone the best weather and the most exhilarating experience you can have! 

Be safe - looking directly at the sun without proper protection can lead to serious problems such as partial or complete loss of eyesight.

You can also watch the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration live stream between 1pm and 4pm EDT here: https://lnkd.in/gbe9mGQR
