Fuckup Nights Sydney: The Stories Nobody Puts On LinkedIn

**🎟 Tickets are sold on Eventbrite only: [eventbrite.com.au/e/2002695427936](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/2002695427936)** **Your Meetup RSVP is not a ticket. Grab yours on Eventbrite, $33.** Three Sydney business owners tell the story of something that went properly wrong. And a mentalist closes the night. We often hear about the wins. Less often about the month someone made a hire who seemed perfect in the interview and it all went very wrong. That's what Fuckup Nights is for! Fuckup Nights is a global storytelling series running in 300+ cities. The format is simple: founders, owners and senior operators get on stage and tell the story of something that went badly wrong in their own business. What they did. What it cost. What they know now. No pitch decks. No "and that is when we raised our Series A". Just the things people normally only admit after the second drink. ## Speakers of the night **Nimarta Verma**, Founder, StorySharing A Stevie Award winning coach who helps leaders tell true stories. She has never told this one on a stage. Money for virtually no work. She thought she hit the jackpot until a phone call came... **Jasper Musgrave**, Founder & Managing Director, Twisted Truth Media "It was just a nightmarish period." Slow to hire, quick to fire - he learned it the expensive way, and he is going to tell you how. **Xavier Crow**, Mentalist & Human Dynamics Specialist, Real Human Dynamics 20+ years. 1,000+ events. 12+ countries. He reads people for a living, which also means he has a collection of nights when the trick did not work. Fair warning: he will know what you are thinking before you do. ## How the night runs * 5:30pm Arrive, grab a drink and grab your favourite seat * 6:00pm Welcome * 6:15pm First story & Q&A * 6:30pm Second story & Q&A * 6:45pm Break & networking * 7:00pm Third story & Q&A * 7:15pm The mentalist closes the night * 7:30pm Networking * 8:00pm Stay on for dinner and drinks at Cardea The night is off the record. The only way to hear this one is to be in the room. ## Where Cardea, Shop 2 T3.01, 300 Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo NSW 2000 Cardea is a cocktail bar made for live performance, right in the heart of Barangaroo. Think red velvet booths, glittering chandeliers and vintage furniture. The bar is named after Cardea, the Roman goddess of doorways. We're fairly sure she's also in charge of guarding all our speakers! Take a seat at the bar or get close to the stage in theatre-style seating. Or bring your friends and colleagues and make a booth your base for the night. About half the room comes alone, so come solo or bring your crew. Drinks and food aren't included in your ticket, but Cardea's full menu is available on the night. It's about a five-minute walk from both Wynyard Station and Barangaroo Metro. ## Who comes to this Founders, business owners, agency people, operators, and anyone who is quietly in the middle of their own fuckup right now and would like to feel less alone about it. **🎟 Tickets: [eventbrite.com.au/e/2002695427936](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/2002695427936)** See you on the other side of the door.
