SUMMARY:Free Webinar: The Apocaloptimists!
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR FREE – CLICK HERE \n\n\n\nIt was so good at THRIVE Sydney\, we’re doing it again for EVERYONE. \n\n\n\nAI is cramping our vibe\, the economy is playing hard to get\, and the news feels like a sci-fi thriller gone wrong—fun times! But rather than curling into a ball\, doom scrolling\, or throwing in the towel\, the next free C+B Webinar will try something radical… defiant optimism. We’ve got two of the sharpest creative minds to chat to about how to innovate\, support each other\, and rewrite the rules.  \n\n\n\nWe’re celebrating The Apocaloptimists.  \n\n\n\nApocaloptimists are the resilient creative professionals who refuse to be sidelined by uncertainty. We aren’t ignoring the challenges; we are actively transforming them into opportunities. We’re looking the future dead in the eye and saying “Okay\, but how do we make this work anyway?” \n\n\n\nJoin resident Apocaloptimist Monica Davidson and two special guest speakers as they dish out real-world ideas for navigating uncertainty in the creative industries\, and share strategies for finding the silver linings in a cloudy climate.  \n\n\n\nAs always\, registration is completely FREE.  \n\n\n\nWhat’s Included?A 60 minute webinar with our creative industries expert (which you can access later if you want) plus lifetime access to additional resources. \n\n\n\nWho’s it for?Creative and arts practitioners\, freelancers\, start-ups\, small arts organisations\, and arts entrepreneurs from beginners to established (international sign-ups welcome!). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYOUR HOST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonica Davidson (Creative Plus Business): Monica Davidson is an award-winning expert on the creative industries\, who began her professional life as a freelance journalist\, performer\, and filmmaker. Monica has a Masters degree in Screen Arts and Business from AFTRS\, and was appointed as Australia’s first Creative Industries Business Advisor in 2013.

He has guest starred and script consulted for hit DnD-based web series ‘1 For All’\, garnering a cult following amongst its 700k-strong audience. He also has Autism\, loves talking about neurodivergence\, and has a laugh that has been described as “an obnoxious honk\, like a goose being used as a bagpipe”. Whether on stage\, on screen or just laughing in the back of a room\, Sam Wade is a guaranteed goodtime. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSimone Amelia Jordan: Simone is a Gadigal-based writer\, essayist\, and author\, recognised as Australia’s most successful hip-hop journalist.
