THE FUCKUP:

In 2015, Emily was arrested for drug smuggling, and was given a 4 year sentence. A lot of bad decisions had led to Emily being arrested. Mostly, it was falling in love with a person who took advantage of their relationship. 💔⁠
⁠
Emily took responsibility for her actions and pleaded guilty. She decided to view prison as a chance to start over. It was in prison that Emily was inspired to start a popcorn company: Cons and Kernels. 💡🍿⁠

🤔 WHAT IS FUCKUP NIGHTS?
Fuckup Nights is a global movement and event series that shares stories of professional failure. Each month, in events across the globe, we get three to four people to get up in front of a room full of strangers to share their own professional fuckup. The story of the business that crashes and burns, the partnership deal that goes sour, the product that has to be recalled, we tell them all.
