***SPACE IS EXTREMELY LIMITED: MAXIMUM 10 PEOPLE*** Please do not register unless you are serious and committed to attending.
Entrepreneurship can be exciting, rewarding, and meaningful.
It can also be lonely.
Many entrepreneurs spend years building businesses, solving problems, supporting clients, and attending networking events—yet rarely get the opportunity to share the real stories behind their journey.
The Beta Voices Story Circle is a welcoming space for entrepreneurs, founders, creators, freelancers, and community builders to come together for meaningful conversations and authentic connection.
This is not a networking event.
This is not a pitch event.
This is not a sales event.
Instead, it is an opportunity to slow down, listen, share, and connect through storytelling.
What to Expect
• An intimate and safe environment
• Guided storytelling and conversation prompts
• Small-group and whole-group discussions (maximum 8 people)
• Meaningful connections with fellow entrepreneurs
• A chance to reflect on your own journey
• An introduction to the Beta Voices community storytelling initiative
Some Conversations To Explore
• Why did you become an entrepreneur?
• What major challenge changed your life?
• What is a lesson you learned the hard way?
• What keeps you going during difficult times?
• What does success mean to you today?
• What story from your journey deserves to be told?
No preparation is required. Simply come as you are.
Who Is This For?
This event is ideal for:
• Entrepreneurs
• Startup founders
• Small business owners
• Freelancers
• Creators
• Consultants
• Community builders
• Professionals exploring entrepreneurship
Whether you are just starting out or have been in business for decades, your story matters.
About Beta Voices
Beta Voices: Stories from Burnaby Entrepreneurs is a community storytelling initiative led by Beta Collective, ISupportYourBusiness (ISYB), and Dastan Publications.
The project aims to capture and celebrate the journeys of entrepreneurs, creators, and community builders across Burnaby and the Lower Mainland through storytelling, podcast conversations, and a collaborative book project.
Participation in this Story Circle does not require any commitment to the book project.
Everyone is welcome.
Why Attend?
Because meaningful communities are built through stories.
Because behind every business is a human journey.
Because the best connections often begin with a conversation.
We look forward to welcoming you.
