Albury-Wodonga · Quarterly
Finally, people who get what you're going through.
A friendly quarterly night for Albury-Wodonga business owners who speak your language and get what you're going through, the wins and the headaches alike. Spend an evening with operators at your stage, and leave with something you can actually use.
Founding cohort: the first 10 to 15 members shape the first room. No spam, ever.
You're on the founding list.
We'll email you the moment the inaugural date is locked, and founding members get first pick of the room.
See you there, Josh and Gareth.
Why it exists
Most owners have no one to talk to about any of this.
The hard calls land on you alone: CGT changes, payroll tax, cashflow, the next hire. So do the wins that nobody around you quite gets, like landing a big client or a milestone month. Family and staff only understand so much of it.
Modern Operators Club is a friendly room of people at your stage who genuinely do get it. Somewhere to talk it through, share the wins, and leave with something you can use on Monday.
How a night works
Enough structure that you actually connect.
Starts on time, ends on time, and every part earns its place.
-
01
One sharp talk
A local operator or invited guest goes deep on the quarter's theme. Twenty minutes, one big idea you can use straight away.
-
02
Real conversation, not "so what do you do?"
Prompt cards at every seat, tied to the talk, so you skip the small talk and get into the stuff that matters.
-
03
Who's in the room
A clean digital directory: everyone's name, one line on what they do, a QR to connect. No business cards, no chasing.

04
Ask & Give
Before you leave, one thing you need and one thing you can offer. Most people walk out with a lead, a hire, an intro, or an answer.
The year
Four nights. Four themes.
One room worth being in.
Each quarter has a focus, so every night is distinct and worth clearing the calendar for.
Innovation & Tech
The tools, systems and AI actually moving the needle for real local businesses.
Leadership & Burnout
Leading a team and a life without running yourself into the ground.
Scaling & Wealth
Growing revenue, building assets, and keeping more of what you make.
Legacy & Reflection
The bigger game. What you're building, and what it's all for.
Who's behind it
Built by two operators who wanted this room to exist.
Josh Bretag
Cubatica
AI-powered growth-marketing solutions (ex-Canva, ex-Meta).
Gareth Mack
Founder, Macktronix
Built Albury-Wodonga's electronics and systems-integration company in 2010. Recognised as one of the top business operators in the Riverina.
"We wanted a friendly room of people who get what it's like to run a business here. Same language, same stage, the same headaches and the same wins. Somewhere you've always got someone to talk to, and you leave with something useful. So we're building it."
You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Make a few of them operators who get it.
