My slide deck from a guest lecture at the University of Toronto Scarborough's "New Ways of Work" course on October 28, 2009. Time slot was 2 hours of presentation, break, & Q/A. Combined a deck from Refresh Events entitled "Entrepreneur versus employee" (http://bit.ly/2iBar) that was presented before I became an entrepreneur. Similar slides, different content. Added a new deck entitled "10 things I didn't expect" to share more of what I've learned now that I'm in this world. Enjoy! Contact me @skanwar or http://sati.sh if anything.
