Each month speakers will be invited to talk about their FuckUp stories; we’ll learn about their biggest mistakes, what they learned, how they moved on- all whilst sharing invaluable advice along the way.\n\nThe speakers will candidly share in 7-10 minutes:\n\n* What their project / business was\n\n* What went wrong / How it affected their personal life / What they learned / What they would do differently.\n\nSpeaker 1: Phil Ore- Co-Founder, Marketing Entourage\n\nPhil Ore is the co-founder of Marketing Entourage, a human-centred marketing and customer experience company.
