Hey alll!

Some of you may know that I co-run TEDxAuckland and I wanted to share an event we have coming up on Thursday that you might be interested in.

Chris Smith, CEO of Open Ventures gave a TED talk at TEDxAuckland this year and it was pretty epic.

The talk will be online soon but in essence he was saying the housing market is broken and it needs fixing. He's got an idea of how to fix it and how to get millions of kiwis into homes with no debt and no deposit.

Anyhow, we're having a few drinks and pizza this Thursday at BizDojo in Ponsonby and Chris will share his idea in more detail if you're interested. He'd love to get your feedback.

Oh and one small factoid, he's raised $10 million dollars and wants people in homes before Christmas to be part of a beta group.

If you're around, that would be awesome. Please let us know by clicking the link below and hope to see you on Thursday!

Feel free to pass the invite on if you think it's more relevant to someone else. As an FYI, the event is only relevant to people renting or flatting 🙂.

Thanks

Did you know, 1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives? When they do, let’s make sure they never have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.

Don’t forget, this month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (23 - 29 September) and Mental Health Awareness Day on October 10th.

However you choose to take part, feel free to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

FB + Billboards

Bus shelter campaigns and billboards might not be within the budget of most SMBs. But for those businesses that can afford it, there can be significant benefits to running outdoor campaigns in combination with Facebook promotions. #EasySocialMedia
