Success often looks glamorous from the outside - but what's really behind it? What does it feel like to build a brand from scratch, with no investors, no financial backing, just a vision, courage and unshakeable faith?
Who is Melli Zampanella really?
Melli is not only the founder of THE HERA CIRCLE, but also a visionary, a doer, a woman who is passionate about her dreams - and who has taken on every challenge along the way. Without much start-up capital, without a textbook business plan, but with a clear mission: to create a space where women can empower and inspire each other and meet as equals.
But what does it really mean to build a community from nothing? Melli takes us behind the scenes and talks honestly, raw and bluntly about the reality of starting a business:
🔹 The insecurities and self-doubt that come - and how to overcome them
🔹 The sleepless nights, the constant questioning, the emotional ups and downs
🔹 Why courage is more important than perfection - and why failure is part of it
🔹 Why support among women is crucial - and how we can actively live it
💬 "If I had known how exhausting it would be, I might not have dared. Fortunately, I didn't know." - Melli Zampanella
Special highlight:
This evening takes place in the exclusive Art Suite of the Zipper Hotel - a room that is as unique as its history.
The suite was designed in collaboration with artist Cevin Parker, whose works create a poetic dream world: "A dream is a complex mixture of memories and unprocessed experiences - both the good and the difficult. But that's what makes it come alive."
Each work of art stands for a feeling, a memory, a moment - and thus creates the perfect setting for this evening full of honesty, courage and depth.
