Hustling for a Good Cause | Breakthrough

In the age of the Great Resignation and Quiet Quitting, hustlers who seem to have infinite energy to keep their passions alive are rare. In this Breakthrough session, you will be hearing from two founders who are working hard for the greater good, helping and giving back to the community. What drives them to keep going  especially in the current wave of general apathy and burnout towards one's career? Sign up to hear their hero's journey and be inspired to set up your own!

This event will be held in two parts on different days:

1. Talk on 24 Nov, 7-8pm

2. Fireside Chat on 26 Nov, 10-11am

Both parts will be held on Zoom. The zoom link to part 2 - the Fireside Chat, will be sent separately.
