Join us for Beyond The Hustle – LIVE, a chance to connect, learn, and talk about the real side of owning and growing a business. This isn’t your typical panel discussion—it’s a raw, honest conversation about what it takes to make it as a business owner, especially when the road feels anything but simple. This time, we’re diving into the power of relationships with the theme: "Your Network Is Your Net Worth." Building a business isn’t just about hustling harder—it’s about connecting with people who believe in you, lifting each other up, and finding strength in community. We’ve brought together an incredible lineup of speakers who get it and are ready to share their stories and strategies: Daniel Fernandez, CEO of TMC Community Capital Martha Hernandez, CEO of ESO Ventures Omar Rodriguez, Owner/Director of Kooltura Marketing And a few more surprises you won’t want to miss! Event Details: Date: February 27th, 2025 Time: 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM Location: San Jose, California Food catered by: Los Viejitos Catering This is more than a conversation—it’s a unique opportunity to gain actionable insights, connect with other like-minded entrepreneurs, and hear firsthand experiences from industry leaders who have mastered the art of networking. Let's go beyond the hustle.
