Do you ever scroll on social media Reader, see people doing amazing, incredible, mind-blowing things and think…

“Why can’t I do that?”

Well I do, and I did.

I was scrolling on Instagram and saw multiple people hosting BIG events - retreats, awards, summits, the list goes on.

And for some reason, there was a voice in my head saying “you can’t do that.”

But I’ve hosted COUNTLESS events before.

I was the Wellington host of Design Assembly, a local events organisation for designers for goodness sake! Planning, hosting, and running events was my JOB! (It was volunteer but still, you get the idea)

So when it came to launching the Brand Your Passion Collective, I didn’t want to let that voice win, and allow it to keep me and as a result, YOU and our community, small.

Which is why I’m super excited to share with you that...

To celebrate the launch of BYPC, I’m hosting a live podcast recording right here in Wellington for 100 local creatives, with a pop-up headshot setup thanks to my pal Sarah Jean Creative, a panel of amazing makers talking all about marketing, giveways galore, and the opportunity for creatives to come together to connect, chat, and grow together!

If you’re going to be in Wellington, NZ on November 20th, you can get your free ticket here!​

And if you’re not, don’t panic! You can be part of the fun too.

1. It’s all going to be recorded for the Brand Your Passion podcast, so you’ll hear the whole conversation!
2. You can join the conversation too! Submit a question for me or any of our speakers to be answered on the night, included in the podcast recording, AND, it’ll enter you in the draw to win one of the giveaways (which includes a year’s membership in the Collective, and so much more!) Submit your question here.​

Whether you join us in person or join the conversation with your question, I can’t wait to talk marketing for makers with you and our amazing artists, and connect with you as we celebrate the launch of the Collective!

Take that stupid head voice 😛

PS. Remember to join the waitlist for the launch if you haven’t already so you get early access and all of the founding member exclusives!
