January YPA Meeting

Beyond the 9–5: Side Hustles & Micro-Influencing
📅 January 13 | ⏰ 5:30–7:00 PM
📍 Miller Theater – Founders Room
🎤 Featuring Shaun Andrews

What does it really take to build income, impact, and influence outside of a traditional 9–5? Join Young Professionals of Augusta (YPA) for an inspiring January meeting with Shaun Andrews, Executive Director of Accelerate Augusta and founder of Mind HAC.

As side hustles continue to reshape how young professionals define success, Shaun will explore how creators and entrepreneurs are leveraging platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Substack to build audiences, establish credibility, and turn personal expertise into sustainable opportunities. Drawing from his experience in entrepreneurship, workforce development, and tech innovation, Shaun will break down how passion projects evolve into scalable businesses—and how influence can be used for growth and community impact.

Whether you’re experimenting with content creation, building a personal brand, launching a side venture, or simply curious about modern paths to professional growth, this conversation will offer practical insights, real-world examples, and inspiration to think beyond the 9–5.

✨ Come connect, learn, and be inspired — beyond the 9–5.
