    About this event

    Freelance, hobby, side hustle, entrepreneurship - whatever you want to call it, there is no denying that people are more serious about pursuing their passions than ever before. One of the most surprising themes? People are practicing these passions while navigating a full-time job!

    Join us for insightful discussion and energy-sparking networking surrounding the topic of pursuing your passion alongside a 9-5 job with a panel of four creatives who are making it work. Come ready to be empowered on topics such as:

    ● How to discover your passion and start something new

    ● Ways to find balance and manage your time

    ● How to both manage and prevent burnout

    ● How infusing your passion and personal brand in the workplace can help your career and make you a better employee and job candidate

    You’ll also be able to sip delicious drinks and savor light bites while mingling and connecting with other attendees and head home with an actionable worksheet to help you dive into your calling. Chicagoland photographer (and fellow passion project pursuer) Katherine Haring will be documenting the excitement of the night. This will be a free event, so be sure to register soon, as spots are limited!
