😬Tonight in a closed session I'll be sharing the fckup that almost cost me everything with the latest cohort of Startmate Manager fellows. Committing to a fckup night as a speaker is an odd mix of stoke and dread. As a founder you are always pitching to customers, investors and new team members. That responsibility never ends so when someone asks you to speak at an event with smart and passionate leaders and tell them some the biggest mistakes you've ever made the intuitive safest bet is to decline. But counter-intuitively by accepting and by turning up and sharing these fails you get at least two big wins: 1. You remind yourself that those epic fails are part of how you got to here + 2. You encourage those around you to not fear failure enough to make it the reason you don't do that thing. I learnt this thanks to some OG mentors back in the early Muru-D and Fishburners days with Mick Liubinskas Ben Reid Annie Parker Alan Jones Murray Hurps and many more with my first start-up Lime Rocket. The culture of failing fast and learning faster is one of the most counter intuitive but under valued pieces of kit you can have so any chance to share that spirit with other founders is a good investment. I can't wait to hear some epic fails too from generous leaders, founders and investors like Isis Nair Natalie Robinson Hiam Sakakini 🤜🤛 #startupaus

Diving into the world of networking as a student has been like stepping onto a lively dance floor—it's both challenging and exhilarating. Mingling with individuals from diverse industries is a delightful yet tricky performance, an art form I'm still perfecting. Engaging in spontaneous conversations at these events is a rollercoaster of difficulty and enjoyment. Initially, networking felt like entering a maze where approaching seasoned professionals seemed like a daunting task. The fear of stumbling over words or lagging in conversations created a mental roadblock. Yet, as I pushed past these initial hesitations and ventured beyond my comfort zone, a transformative realization unfolded—the power of active listening. Active listening, beyond merely hearing words, became my secret weapon. It's the key to unlocking rapport, forging connections, and mining insights from others' experiences in the networking realm. Excited to sharpen my active listening skills, I look forward to weaving meaningful connections in the vibrant professional tapestry on LinkedIn and beyond! Let's connect and embark on this journey of mutual discovery ! Thanks to Engineers Australia & Young Engineers Australia SA. #networking #engineers #building #studentlife

We're moving away from stress balls at conferences and more towards word play with a heavy dose of nostalgia. Can you believe that floppy disks were actively used less than 10 years ago? Technology can move at such a quick pace and if you're not prepared, you could be using something that others use as coasters! #AI #originationtechnology #MBAdigitalmortgage2023

Sometimes, letting the engineering team speak to the real problems can motivate the client towards real solutions. This whole notion of sales teams and engineering teams not being on the same page is a problem that I continually have to solve for companies, when brought in to handle "system issues". Sales teams provide feedback for engineers on the customer experience, and defines the fiscal opportunity/risk. Engineering teams provide insights to sales on design decisions, scheduling, known solutions, and should be the metric for a businesses productivity levels. It's very common for sales and engineering teams to not be on the same page, and the worst part of it is the number of companies who are okay keeping these skeletons in the closet - because who wants to take responsibility for the problem when it's you? #engineeringproblems #technicaldebt #brokencode #spaghetti #cicd #mismanagement #guidelines #regulations #procedures #mobileapp #softwaredeveloper
