Evening Connectors,
Happy last Sunday of the month! October went by like it had somewhere to be. 😂 As we wrap up the month and look ahead, I’ve been thinking about new ways to bring our community together to connect and learn.
One idea I’m curious about: would you spend two hours on a Saturday in the early afternoon digging into a specific business or entrepreneurship topic?
Think advanced sessions on pricing for profit, turning an audience into paying customers, or negotiating business partnerships. Each session would focus on one niche topic, with practical insights and room for questions.
Before I start putting something together, I’d love your input. No sense in working just for the sake of work!
Would you attend?
~ Dre
