THURSDAY: Fucking Up & The Future of Work 💥⁠
⁠
Joining us for a Fuckup AMA and discussion about the future of work are: Jeffrey Howard & Neil Martin.⁠
⁠
Jeff and Neil are the Co-Founders of @ProjectSpaces, a co-working space that started accidentally when they were running a magazine! 📖⁠
⁠
Since 2011, PS workspaces have been home to a diverse group of entrepreneurs and digital nomads supporting each other through the wins and yes, the fuckups too.⁠
⁠
The co-working industry is no walk in the park. The dynamic duo will take us back to a time when a too-good-to-be-true expansion opportunity nearly spelled the end of Project Spaces. 😱⁠
⁠
Jeffrey and Neil bring a wealth of experience...and Fuckups! They're looking forward to sharing their lessons learned with our community.⁠
⁠
We'll be taking community Q&A - get your burning questions ready. 🎤⁠

This week we chatted with social & e-commerce entrepreneur, Salima Visram. Salima is the founder and CEO of SAMARA and The Soular Backpack! 👜🎒 Like any entrepreneur, Salima has had a lot of Fuckups.

THIS THURSDAY: Join us for a Fuckup AMA with the Founder & CEO of SAMARA and The Soular Backpack. 🎒⁠
⁠
@SalimaVisram is a social entrepreneur from Mombassa, Kenya who founded and launched @thesoularbackpack in November 2014. Soular Backpacks spread light: for every one sold, the organization provides a Soular Backpack to a child who needs one in East Africa, so they can do their homework.💡⁠
⁠
Salima went on to start @be.samara, a 100% cruelty free fashion house, focusing on minimalist designs made from vegan, sustainable materials like apple leather. SAMARA’s goal is to create more sustainable fashion, create impact through The Soular Backpack and to create leaner, more efficient supply chains. ✊⁠
⁠
SAMARA was started with $500 and production runs of 25 pieces, and in its second year, scaled to production runs of 75k pieces and a 7-figure company. 😍💸⁠
⁠
Salima brings a wealth of experience...and Fuckups! She's looking forward to sharing her lessons learned with our community. 🙌⁠
