- January 11, 2013 6 MIN READ

Before I even started Shoe String, I attended my first Unconvention, and it completely opened my eyes, it was in fact the arse kicking I needed to put my ideas that I had into action and begin to create a business I could actually be proud of as opposed to just thinking about one.
