Social Media Audit with Dan
Nov 1st @ 4PM on Zoom
Social Media is modern day marketing and without the correct strategy, it can be a total time vampire without the desired outcomes. In this open hour, bring your social media strategies so that the social media expert, Dan Speerin, can take a look and see what you can do to improve.
Hivemind: TZ Team Updates

TZ Workshop: Saving Time with Social Media
Nov 8th @ 4PM on Zoom
Following last week's Social Media Audit, we are doing a workshop just about Social Media! Learn tips and tricks about how to make the algorithm work for you.

TZ Workshop: Media Training
Nov 13th @ 4PM on Zoom
Whether it's a 60 second spot on Breakfast Television, a feature on a podcast, or an over the phone interview for your local magazine, entrepreneurs get the chance to promote their businesses all the time, but not all of them know how to make the best of it. There's a lot of pressure to say the right thing in the moment and we get it! So join us for this workshop to learn how to prepare for your next media appearance.

TZ Workshop: Storytelling of the Self
Nov 16th @ 4PM on Zoom
The most common issue we see for founders and storytellers alike at TZ, is the struggle to convey vision and story when it comes to YOURSELF and your project. What makes YOU compelling? Folks are not investing in merely ideas - they’re looking to TRUST and INVEST in you! From party banter, to formal meetings and pitches - We’re going to show you, why it’s so important, and explain the pitfalls, wins, and tips and tricks - to get across your vision and ideas, in a better and more exciting way.

Hivemind: Storytelling Feedback with Jessie
Nov 27th @ 4PM on Google Meet
Tell us about the story you're working on! We'll see if we can find any plotholes, any structural issues, or even just get inspired by your brilliant mind.
Student League Workshop: Mock Coffee
Nov 29th @ 4PM in TZ Creator Space
Getting help from mentors and industry connections are key to success, but knowing how to ask for help - is equally important...but you're doing "coffee" wrong! Let us change your bad habits and help you learn the best way to approach industry professionals for help.
The TZ leadership team has years of experience giving out industry advice, and in this workshop, we'll help you with hands on sessions, to show you a better and more efficient way to get the most out of a mentorship meeting and make you a better storyteller about your own ideas and businesses.
We'll put you to practice! We'll pretend to be the expert you'd like to chat with and have a "mock coffee" with you.
