LT #2 | From Paper to Business
Do you have an idea that keeps you up at night 🪔
Maybe you're trying to build your first AI app, starting a podcast, or side hustle, creative pursuit, or a plan to make a difference in your community. We all have that one project that ignites our passion and reminds us of what's truly important.
Ever wondered how to turn your ideas into successful projects / businesses?
Join us as four inspiring speakers share their incredible journeys of turning ideas into reality. Learn how their concepts took root, the challenges they overcame, and the life-changing impact of pursuing their dreams.
"Paper" symbolizes the early stages of a project or business idea, like sketches, comic strips, or drafts of a plan. Our event focuses on the journey from those initial concepts to thriving businesses.
