innovate.LOYNO: What's the Next Step? Side Hustle Edition
Join the Center for Entrepreneurship and Community Development (CECD) for the second innovate.LOYNO workshop of the year!
Whether you're already running a business, freelancing on the side, or sitting on an idea you're eager to launch, this interactive session is built to help you take the next step.
What's the Next Step? Side Hustle Edition brings together Loyola faculty and staff who run real side businesses. We'll kick off with quick mentor intros, where each mentor shares their hustle and one surprising stat. Then we move into small-group roundtables: you'll rotate through three tables and get direct access to mentors on everything from getting started and finding customers to pricing, marketing, and fitting a hustle around everything else.
Still in the napkin-sketch stage? Bring it! Bring your ideas, your curiosity, or just yourself. We'll have question starters ready, and the floor is yours.
Already running a hustle? Side Hustle Expo 6.0 board pickup is right next door in the Ideation Lab (Miller 111) until 2:00 PM. Grab a board and show off your hustle at the Expo on November 17.
