An all in dance and a fifty kilogram kettlebell set the tone for an electric night at the fifth The Profit Unleashed, where Simon Tremain, Doug Steiner and Aimee Fisher delivered some of the most candid, entertaining and insightful conversations the event has hosted.
From the moment mental wellbeing advocate Jack Jenson invited the crowd into his uncomfortable challenge, the atmosphere at The Atrium shifted.
The event’s tempo lifted with an impromptu crowd dance and instantly dissolved the usual boundaries that sit between strangers at business events.
