A ‘fireside chat’ for Tamworth founders to connect with local mentor.

On Thursday, October 3, a small group of Tamworth founders gathered at Deva Chocolate Cafe for a founders-only Fireside Chat with our local mentor, Wade O’Shea. This informal event provided the group with a great opportunity to connect with each other and Wade, who is a recent addition to the UNE SRI mentor line-up.

Enjoying the sunshine, the small group enjoyed relaxed conversations about recent wins, challenges, and future goals. Wade was there to offer feedback and help founders explore new approaches for their ventures.

The atmosphere encouraged honest discussions about the realities of business, from shifting mindsets to team growth. Many attendees left feeling inspired, connected to their peers, and supported by the community.

The UNE SMART Region Incubator focuses on providing founders with access to mentors like Wade whose local expertise and coaching are invaluable. These events play a significant role in nurturing collaboration and growth within the Tamworth founder community.
