This past Friday I held another of my curated happy hour sessions.
Twelve People.
No Bros or Wannabes…
No Fake it Until you make it …
No sales pitches.
No posturing.
No homework.
Just sharp minds around a table — the kind of group that creates leverage most people spend years chasing.
A Harvard premed student building a design firm in his “free time” and soaking up insight like Oxygen.
An Olympic gold medalist and world-class speaker.
A UAE private office leader.
Top-tier wealth advisors.
Seasoned and scaling business owners.
Real talk… and real connections — leading to potential 7- and 8-figure deals.
Why did it work?
Because of the mix.
Because of the curation.
Because everyone at the table had something to give — not just something to gain.
Here’s what most entrepreneurs miss:
You don’t grow by shouting into noisy rooms or stuffing your calendar blindly with pitch calls.
You grow by getting in the right room with the right people.
You rise by proximity.
And most people are stuck on the ground floor because they keep inviting the wrong passengers on their lift.
This isn’t an open invite.
Don’t DM me asking to come to the next one.
I know who I want when I see it.
Just your tip of the day:
Choose better.
Surround smarter.
Scale faster.
