Our Story
Established in 2024, the misfits are a community, a global movement of people wanting to do business differently.
​
The Business Misfit Network is a home for founders who were never built to blend in. We’re here for the rebels, the creatives, the beautifully unconventional humans and the people who are quietly (or loudly) done with beige business culture.
Because honestly?
Most networking spaces feel like corporate speed dating with bad coffee and forced LinkedIn smiles.
So we built something different.
The Business Misfit Network is a community, media and education ecosystem designed to help founders connect, create and collaborate through play — because some of the best ideas, opportunities and collaborations happen when people stop performing and actually feel safe enough to be themselves.
No stiff name badges.
No awkward elevator pitches.
No pretending to be “professional” at the expense of your personality.
Just real humans, powerful conversations, genuine connection and businesses built from authenticity instead of performance.
What started as a networking community has grown into an entire movement-led ecosystem including our monthly networking experiences, flagship event Misfit Nation, The Misfit Magazine, and The Business Misfit Academy — all built around the belief that business should feel expansive, creative, playful and deeply human.
Built from our founder's own journey of completely blowing up her life and rebuilding it from truth, The Business Misfit Network was created to give all ambitious founders a space where they can be fully themselves while building successful, visible and profitable businesses.
At the heart of everything we do is Emma's philosophy of pleasure-led leadership... helping founders lead, sell and scale through pleasure not pressure. Where self-trust, creativity, visibility and connection, replace burnout and self-abandonment. Her book, Unf*ckwithable, alongside frameworks including The Pleasure Code™ and Embodied CEO™, form part of the foundation of the movement.
We’re not just helping people grow businesses. We’re helping people become more fully expressed inside them. Because the future of business is not more polished performance. It’s people brave enough to build differently.
Because honestly?
Misfits change the game!
