Side Quest
Your job is what you do. Your side quest is what makes you you.
Stand-up, ceramics, neuroscience, music, a travel documentary, a business. Our founding crew is coming together, and the doors close in 2 weeks. Bring your side quest, stalled or not started.
Where we meet
Outside Bourke Street Bakery, 633 Bourke St, Surry Hills. Grab a coffee or tea, then we walk about five minutes together to a nearby park to sit for the session.
The session runs in the park, about five minutes from the bakery.
What to expect
What it is
It's the business you're starting, the thing you're making, the goal you keep coming back to.
Our founding crew is taking shape, with side quests ranging from stand-up, ceramic sculptures, public speaking, neuroscience, making music, a travel documentary and a business. Yours could be something else entirely.
Whether yours is stalled, in progress, or hasn't started yet, this is the morning we bring our focus back to it. Together, we'll turn each side quest into a focused plan with a real deadline, and keep each other going after.
Founding spots are only open for the next 2 weeks. After that, the crew closes until next season. Come to Sunday's kickoff to see what it's about.
You don't need it all figured out. You just need to be open to finding what makes you you.

Build the plan, 1-on-1
Turn the idea into your next three moves, each with a date. Your partner keeps asking the hard questions until it feels real.
