Title: Side-hustle - AND keep your day job!

Most developer's don't realise how their abilities uniquely equip them to become business owners and product builders.

It's a lot easier to launch a product than expected, and while that doesn't necessarily mean it will be successful - it does mean that side-hustling to raise extra funds is close at hand to anyone who dares try.

If you're capable of building a good product, all you need is a simple marketing strategy to spread the word. In this talk, I'll show you just how you can go about the daring task of switching from "developer" to "entrepreneur" - without risking your day job!

Facilitator: Candice Grobler

I founded Candid Collab after deciding that my last manager was right to call me “unemployable”. After struggling to fit into an “employee” mold that never felt natural, I’m excited to finally have real security knowing that I can provide for myself as a business owner, mentor and now — speaker!

Now I help stretched brands build community marketing systems around their products and services — so they can market their businesses without selling their souls. 😉

And as a passion project, I mentor aspiring consultants who want to break free of the “employee” role.
