Anti-Networking Business Breakfast: Real Connections, Real Conversations

Tired of awkward small talk and the endless exchange of business cards that go nowhere? So are we! Join us for the Anti-Networking Business Breakfast: Real Connections, Real Conversations at Abuela's Little Kitchen on Tuesday, April 16th, from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM.

TL;DR
Tired of boring networking? Join us for a casual breakfast at Abuela's Little Kitchen (April 16, 8-9:30 AM) for real conversations and connections with other Asheville business owners. No pressure to sell, just good food and good company.

The Event
Think of this as a super casual gathering where the focus is on getting to know the awesome humans behind the local businesses in Asheville. Forget the forced elevator pitches and the pressure to "buy my stuff." We're aiming for genuine conversations, the kind where you actually learn about the person across from you and maybe even find some common ground (beyond just needing more clients!).

Here's the plan:

• 8:00 AM - 8:30 AM: Pre-Event & Open Conversations: Come a little early, grab a coffee (and some delicious food from Abuela's!), and start chatting with whoever catches your eye. No awkward standing around required – just friendly faces and the aroma of breakfast.
• 8:30 AM - 9:15 AM: Event-Led Discussions: We'll kick off some light, guided conversations designed to help you connect with others on a more personal level. Think less about your job title and more about shared experiences and passions.
• Don’t worry if you’re not great with small talk, we’ll help with that.
• 9:15 AM - 9:45 AM (Optional): Post-Event Hangout: Stick around if you're enjoying the conversations and want to connect further. No pressure to rush off!

Why should you join us?
Because you're looking for real connections and want to meet interesting people. If you happen to click with someone and find a potential business opportunity, that's fantastic! But the primary goal here is to build a supportive community of local business owners in Asheville.

What to expect:

• A relaxed and informal atmosphere.
• Opportunities to actually get to know people (we might even have name tags to help with that!).
• A focus on genuine interaction rather than forced networking.
• Don’t worry if you’re not great with small talk, we’ll help with that.

The Fine Print:

• Totally Free: No cost to attend – just pay for your own food and drinks if you'd like.
• No Strings Attached: No membership hoops to jump through, no dues to pay, no mandatory attendance. Come when you can!
• Everyone's Welcome: Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting out, all are invited.
• Come As You Are: No dress code – casual is perfect.

We'd love to see you there!
