About this Event
Glug Leeds: Go Your Own Way
Cue Fleetwood Mac. On repeat. All evening. Sounds great right?
When the pandemic hit, we unfortunately had to cancel our planned Go You Own Way event. But we were too excited to hear our speaker's talks to let the event be forgotten! We're back on beaming on your screens,
We hear the stories, tips and tricks from seasoned creatives and independents who have taken the plunge and made it on their own by starting freelance life or created growing businesses. How you can take their advice in your own creative life and avoid some of the pitfalls they fell into. We’ll also hear from independent creatives who have decided to rejoin the world of full-time employment and what it was like to re-adjust to that life.
Tickets are free, but we do ask for a small donation for the Sheaf St Fund which will support our favourite venue to keep going and also be a fund for local freelancers in need.
💛 🙏 More info on the Sheaf St Fund here
See you at the sofa/home office/breakfast bar,
Glug Leeds
