Karen Hastie turned 60 this year. At an age when many would be slowing down and preparing for retirement, she's launched a new venture– the Chamber Perks App, which helps Canadian and U.S. chambers of commerce add value to their members.
Hastie has always been an entrepreneur, she told Business Insider. Her first job out of college was launching a fitness store chain that eventually spread across Northern Ontario. She ran that business for more than 30 years before eventually selling it for seven figures during the pandemic.
