To watch rather than listen, click here.
Terry is a former courtroom lawyer turned tech innovator and award-winning novelist.
In this episode, we explore how reinvention, resilience, and creativity can shape a fulfilling second act. Terry’s debut novel, Pitfall (Bay Press 2025), was named a Top Book to Read by CBC Books.
With her next release, Plunder, on the horizon, she shares how storytelling became the next chapter in a life once defined by law, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
In this powerful conversation, you’ll discover:
✅ How Terry knew it was time to pivot from law to entrepreneurship.
✅ The lessons she learned building three technology ventures (including Funding Portal).
✅ Why she believes AI can be both a tool and a threat to creative work.
✅ How persistence, partnership, and purpose fuel every successful pivot.
✅ What it takes to write a novel that turns complex financial systems into deeply human stories. If you’ve ever wondered how to reinvent yourself, start a new venture later in life, or merge logic with creativity — this episode is a must-watch.
