Friday Meetup #SpeakerSeries
What does it take to transform a passion into a business that creates both impact and opportunity?
Join us for an inspiring conversation with Benjamin De Graaf, DJ, entrepreneur, and Founder of The Love Music Initiative, a social enterprise that uses music and the arts to empower more than 10,000 youth across Ontario each year.
From producing hundreds of events to building trauma-informed arts education programs in partnership with schools, community organizations, and municipalities, Benjamin has turned his passion for music into a purpose-driven career rooted in creativity, entrepreneurship, and community impact.
Together, we'll explore his entrepreneurial journey, the lessons he's learned along the way, and the practical strategies that helped him build a sustainable business while staying true to his mission.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, creative, educator, or someone looking to turn an idea into reality, you'll leave with fresh perspectives, practical insights, and inspiration to build something meaningful.
