The monthly series is hosted by Creating Forward Studio founder, Sarah Saxty (Sax), and a selected guest co-host founders of a snack and beauty, wellness, or fashion brand.
Here's how it works 👀
We'll meet at the determined location, either a cool neighborhood, a trail, or a cultural space.
You'll get to sample products and grab some snacks for the walk.
You'll pair up with someone to walk + talk your way around using conversation prompts we'll provide.
Then we'll swap partners so you get multiple perspectives.
You'll leave with:
New connections with founders and potential collaborators in your city
An understanding of how to make your brand more "sticky" and ideas for getting more traction in your business
Increased confidence in yourself, your vision, and your business
