Building From Nothing; A Becoming A CEO Live Podcast Experience

We want to go beyond inspiration and create practical pathways by connecting young people with entrepreneurs, mentors, business networks.... Over the past year, through the Becoming A CEO Podcast, I’ve had the privilege of sitting down with entrepreneurs, business and thought leaders to hear their stories; the successes, the failures, the lessons and, most importantly, the courage it took to start. Now, we’re taking that conversation beyond the podcast studio and into the community. This live event is built around a simple vision: To economically empower young people, especially those from CaLD and disadvantaged backgrounds, who dream of building businesses, creating jobs and becoming financially independent, but may not know where or how to start. We want to go beyond inspiration and create practical pathways by connecting young people with entrepreneurs, mentors, business networks, tools and support programs such as Bloom ’s incubator programs giving them access to the knowledge, relationships and resources that can help turn an idea into something real. Our goal isn't simply to tell young people to dream bigger. It is to help them understand: How do I start? Who can help me? What resources are available? And how do I build something sustainable? I believe that when we bring together faith, entrepreneurship, mentorship and community, we can raise a generation that is economically empowered, Christ-centred, purpose-driven and committed to creating impact. This is bigger than a podcast event. It’s about helping someone take their first step. If you know a young person with a dream but who isn't sure where to begin, please share this with them.
