“You don’t know what you don’t know.”
Marketing is a core element to startups. In early stages of development, startups may use marketing to reach a wide audience for customer discovery and validate assumptions. Later in the journey, marketing helps find and convert customers and expand reach to new audiences. Ultimately, marketing helps drive customers which drives revenue.
Most early stage startup founders suffer FOMO and indigestion of information. There are too many pieces of content about growth and no one stop location that ties the tools together.

WANT TO START A PODCAST BUT HAVE NO IDEA HOW?
Join Brett McCallum from Media 8 podcast studios as he hosts a half day masterclass where he will share the secrets of storytelling, top tips for capturing clear audio and take you through interviewing and editing techniques that will have you broadcasting like a pro in no time!
BONUS: YOUR MASTERCLASS BOOKING INCLUDES A 2 HOUR STUDIO VOUCHER FOR THE MEDIA 8 PODCAST STUDIO AT THE NEW GOLD COAST INNOVATION HUB VALIED AT $200!
WHY PODCAST?
The future is audio and voice: Gary Vaynerchuk – The Gary V Audio Experience on iTunes
Because a lot of people are listening — and listening a lot.
The growth & rapid adoption of smart phones enables a user to listen to what they want, when they want and how they want.
Podcasts are the new radio; however, you don’t have to wait for a segment to listen to or wait for a specific segment you’re interested in. These days there are apps like Apple, Stitcher, SoundCloud, Podcasts, Spotify, Media8 and Spreaker that allow anyone with a smart phone to listen to their favorite podcasts.
YouTube is great for online marketing — but it’s not conducive to consuming on the go — while running, exercising, driving, etc.
Podcasts are portable — and because of their portability, they’re more personal.
Consider starting a podcast of your own, remembering that it will allow you to grow in ways you never imagined.
It will grow your email list, your audience, your influence and your bank account.
MEET YOUR HOST, BRETT McCALLUM
Brett McCallum has failed too many times to count on both hands. Some were only small but a few were monumental! Brett became one of the youngest bank managers in Australia as a teenager and went on to become a seasoned entrepreneur and microeconomics expert. Brett has started at least one business every year for the past two decades in multiple industries across three continents. Brett saw several of his ventures acquired providing him opportunity to hunt more unicorn business ideas. Brett is also an experienced corporate executive and the creative visionary of a large IT consultancy, supporting essential community services with half a billion-dollar programmes. Brett is passionate about digital innovation and new markets and sits on a number of advisory boards in the Startup and also the Crypto space.
Brett’s passion for the entrepreneur mindset has seen him become the host of Awesome Humans Podcast powered by Media8. Brett’s energy and optimism is contagious as he makes waves disrupting the status quo to make real change. Brett has been a pro-bono business mentor for more than ten years, and his first book captures what Brett shares and practices daily with proven results.
Another Media8 Podcast series Brett produces talks about the stuff blokes don’t talk about. A brutally honest speaker who talks openly about his issues with his head, tackling depression, opening the eyes to others that it is ok to fail! Everyone fails and that’s ok.
Brett’s passion for Podcast storytelling and embracing Awesome Humans will take you on an inspirational journeyand get excited about entering the world of Podcasting!
Follow on meeting from last week, we are not chartered yet as a club, but we can still meet. Please bring your forms from last week if you have them. People that didn’t come last week are very welcome too.
Our long term intention is to start a regular club in the same time slot, come along and discover what Toastmasters is all about and appreciate what it has to offer, in particular for startup founders and other innovators working at the GCHub.
The event is intended to be fun, interesting and you will all walk away with something useful and a spring in your step for the day!
Jelly is a casual working event. It’s taken place in over a hundred cities where people have come together (in a person’s home, a coffee shop, or an office) to work for the day. We provide chairs , internet, and interesting people to talk to, collaborate with, and bounce ideas off of.
You bring a laptop (or whatever you need to get your work done) and a friendly disposition.
Join us for the first IT Forum Gold Coast event of 2019 with Adam Stephensen from Microsoft!
Bots & Conversational UI are the new UI frontier. Siri, Google Assistant and Alexa started the trend, but no-UI is the future of UI. Users are going to expect to be able to have conversations with companies and organisations in the client that they have on hand. Don’t believe me? Gartner predicts that by 2020 30% of HTTP requests will be via bots.
In this session, you will explore how the Microsoft Bot Framework makes it easy to build and connect intelligent bots to interact with users and services. Take your existing applications, your FAQ or a great new idea you have and build a bot that will run from your website or from Cortana, Skype, a phone call, text message, Teams, Slack, Facebook Messenger and more.
If you missed the mobile revolution – why not lead in the bot wars?

This is our main weekly meeting for TechSpace members and guests to work on their projects or come learn a new skill.
This meeting is open to guests. To become a full TechSpace member please see our separate Membership page (https://gctechspace.org/members/) on the gctechspace.org website.
It is not a talk fest: members are usually working on projects, either alone, working with someone else, or demoing something to the group. If there is a theme for the week, someone in the group might go off to the side and present something or lead a study group.
This meeting is open to all, but if you have already been to TechSpace a few times though, it’s good etiquette to apply to be a member. Please refer to “Membership” Web page (https://gctechspace.org/members/) for more details.
