Today, Maria talks with Heath Evans. Heath is a marketing and communications strategist at the Melbourne Accelerator Program (or MAP), a startup accelerator powered by the University of Melbourne, which has been ranked the 8th best University-aligned Accelerator in the world.

Heath says he has inherited three wonderful traits from his grandfather – the love of life, the love of stories, and most of all, the love of challenges. Over the past decade, these three passions have helped him thrive across the sporting, not-for-profit, and startup sectors, while also launching a start-up and becoming a coach at Seth Godin's altMBA.

Together, they unpack his learning journey. Heath takes us through his quaint childhood neighborhood outside of Melbourne rallying friends to play sports. We then move on to his business and marketing studies at the university and his early career in sports. Heath talks about his work in the non-for-profit organisation World Vision and the famous “Run India” project he led.

After discussing his contribution at the Seth Godin’s altMBA, he shares his current work at Melbourne Accelerator Program (or MAP) along with his dreams and aspirations. A wonderful chat with a person who loves to connect the dots and help people make their business more human.
