I organized and produced this event and video as a collaboration between YOU ARE ALL YOU NEED and The Yard, Williamsburg Brooklyn’s unique co-working space.

This premiere event featured four successful business owners (start-‐ups, impresarios, movers and shakers) presenting their companies and concepts before a seated audience. Hosted and filmed in The Yard’s relaxed open-space lobby, this event was free to the public aiming to inspire and encourage our entrepreneurial community to meet, mingle and exchange ideas.

Four entrepreneurs presented the concepts and histories of their businesses and openly shared the stories of how they got to… quit their day jobs.
