A strong start to ticket sales for the next The Profit Unleashed event.
Really thrilled to have Doug Steiner as a special guest who will give some insights into the opportunities regions like Hawke's Bay has on a global scale as well as insights into his remarkable career.
I first met Doug over a zoom interview for a feature in The Profit - Hawke's Bay's dedicated business media channel and then he and his wife Jasmine Herlt visited the Bay a couple of times, meeting local business leaders as well as getting an insight into the damage of cyclone Gabrielle. To find out more about Doug - read this.

The Roady Workshop | August 15 | Hastings

This unique event from the team behind Profit Unleashed offers a behind-the-scenes, boots-on-the-ground experience focused on one powerful theme: resilience - in business and in life.

Participants will take part in a moving, hands-on tour, visiting the spaces of some of the most impactful voices from past Profit Unleashed events. They’ll hear real stories, ask the questions that didn’t get asked on stage, and gain unfiltered insight into what drives resilience and growth.

The experience concludes with a closed-door workshop - no stage, no crowd - just 20 local business leaders engaging in honest, practical conversations.
