In 2005, recent graduates Alex Herman, Paul Matthews, and Andrew Feindel
realized they weren't entirely sure where they were going in life. Then
they had an idea. Over the next two years, they interviewed 70

they found were not always what they expected.
Kickstart profiles over 30 prominent Canadians, including professional
athletes (former CFL star Norman Kwong), TV personalities (Valerie
Pringle), Native leaders (Matthew Coon Come), and former prime ministers
(Brian Mulroney). Their collective wisdom, offered in their own words,
just might help readers "kickstart" their own lives and careers.
