Skin in the Game - 001
Skin in the Game
A private gathering for men building ambitious lives and businesses.
25 men. One room. Real talk.
Not another networking event. Not a room full of ego. A space to have the conversations that actually matter, about ambition, identity and what it really takes to win without losing yourself.
This is about understanding your own skin. And playing bigger with the support of others in the arena.
The Evening
A guided session from Evoke Creative Wellness to open the room. Followed by a fireside conversation with a cultural builder sharing their scars behind their success - previous guests include Dhiraj Mukherjee (co-founder of Shazam) and Arian Kalantari (co-founder of LADbible). After that we’ll break bread together, family-style Italian feast from Happy Face Pizza and continue the connection with live music and drinks in the basement bar at Supermax, King’s Cross.
📍 Supermax, King's Cross 📅 15th April
🎟 £50 - £60 (including food + welcome drinks)
25 tickets only.
