Are you building a business on the side or dreaming of turning your passion into a full-time gig?

Brought to you by the Alumni Business Network, this bite-sized session will explore practical strategies with expert advice to fuel your founder journey.

Kicking things off is Alex Paioff, Founder & Managing Director of MITP Agency, and co-owner of Perth venue Jack Rabbit Slim’s.

Alex knows a thing or two about turning passion into business. From launching festivals, building major brand campaigns & managing national tours and video production for artists such as Skrillex, Illy and Flume, he brings invaluable insight into what it really takes to move from side hustle to main gig... and how to make it stick.

Facilitated by Chris Paterniti, MU Alumni Business Network Ambassador, this online event is for anyone growing a business, planning to go full-time, or just curious about what it takes to go solo.
