It’s a great place to see ordinary people doing extraordinary things\, be inspired\, network\, and share in an innovative space. \nThis week’s speakers are: \n1) Kaushik Kumar (Style Dux) \nKaushik founded Style Dux\, a purpose driven clothing brand dedicated to making conversations easier for people suffering through Mental Illness. Style Dux works with non-profits and charities to design streetwear that embodies their mission. Style Dux then sells the apparel and passes on the profits to these charities. The clothing our customers purchase\, directly impacts someone’s life. It could have provided lunch to a child who would otherwise go hungry or funded a call that saved someone’s life. Kaushik comes from an engineering background; however\, this field was not for him. Having started his first venture at 16\, driving change through business is where his passion lies. \n \n2) Tracey Ahern (BeeBio) \nIn 2016\, after more than 20 years’ experience of owning and operating four Beauty and MediSpa clinics\, she sold her business. Together with three other shareholders\, they took on a totally new challenge and purchased skincare company BeeBio. Owning BeeBio has opened their eyes to the misalignment between what consumers want and how the cosmetic industry is run. Their business is largely international\, which has in itself been challenging. Over the last two years\, they have worked tirelessly to develop a new skincare brand\, which we have launched in July this year. Their new brand follows their core beliefs to provide quality\, natural skincare\, made easy for the consumer. For them\, this means products delivered to their door\, in compostable courier bags – feeding their skin and at the same time looking after our planet by eliminating single-use plastic bottles. \n“Going Green” is not easy. She believes she has a lot to share about what she has learned on her sustainability journey. Her vision for the cosmetic industry is to help companies to work smarter and in a more sustainable way. She would like to see collective purchasing encouraged to keep work in New Zealand and work in a collaborative way so that resources are pooled and our footprint reduced. \n \nCoffee and Jam is your opportunity to meet new people in the Christchurch entrepreneurial ecosystem and indulge in a little bit of free coffee\, jam and bread. \nIf you have an idea you’d like to pitch get in touch with Gina at gina@ministryofawesome.com \n  URL:https://epicinnovation.co.nz/event/coffee-jam/ LOCATION:EPIC Innovation Centre\, 76/106 Manchester St\, Christchurch\, Canterbury\, 8011\, New Zealand END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20180816T100000 DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20180816T113000 DTSTAMP:20180809T211244Z CREATED:20180809T211244Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180809T211244Z UID:2010-1534413600-1534419000@epicinnovation.co.nz SUMMARY:Rangiora High School student visit DESCRIPTION: URL:https://epicinnovation.co.nz/event/rangiora-high-school-student-visit/ LOCATION:EPIC Innovation Centre\, 76/106 Manchester St\, Christchurch\, Canterbury\, 8011\, New Zealand END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20180821T123000 DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20180821T133000 DTSTAMP:20180819T235033Z CREATED:20180806T002626Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180819T235033Z UID:1922-1534854600-1534858200@epicinnovation.co.nz SUMMARY:Coffee & Jam#264 DESCRIPTION:Coffee & Jam is Christchurch’s longest running weekly meet up for entrepreneurial-minded people.
