THIS MONTH'S THEME
Love, Jobs & Money in the Age of AI
How is technology (texting, AI, apps, algorithms) reshaping our relationships, careers, and financial lives? Are we connecting more or less meaningfully? How do we navigate growth, avoid conflict, and find good friends in this rapidly changing world?
We'll explore these questions and more. Bring your insights, curiosities, and open mind.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Arrival & mingle – Drop shoes at the door, grab a seat in the living room. Lo-fi ambiance / cafe jazz in the background.

Warm-mug station – I'll have decaf coffee, green tea, and herbal teas ready. Want regular coffee? Bring your favorite ground coffee (K-cups don't work) and we'll brew it up.

Light snacks first – Cheese, crackers, sliced turkey. Please bring other light/delicious appetizers if you can! Potluck style. Leave a comment with what you'll bring (no obligation if $ is tight).

Roundtable discussion (Part 1 – ~40-50 min) – We'll circle up and dive into the theme. Everyone's encouraged to share at least something, but no pressure to dominate. Phones off and put away—this is about being present and engaged.

Your ideas are welcome – Post a comment or DM me beforehand with a question or topic you'd love to explore. I'll pick a primary set and some backups. The tentative primary theme / topic is "Love, Jobs, and Money in the Age of AI"

Dessert break – After round 1, we'll mingle, set out the sweet stuff, and recharge. Bring desserts if you can! (Note: 4-ish members are gluten-free, so GF options are extra appreciated 🙌)

Roundtable discussion (Part 2 – ~40-50 min) – We reconvene for a second wave of philosophical exploration.

Wind-down – When the flow eases, feel free to keep sipping tea, pour a glass of white wine, listen to fresh music, or break out a card/board/video game. Totally organic.

The vibe: Curious, friendly, judgment-free. Share an insight, pose a question, or just listen and learn (or un-learn!). Let's grow wiser together.

BRING (voluntary)

• Your favorite ground coffee, tea, or bottle of white wine to share (white only—couch and carpet are white, so red wine is risky 🤔)
• Snacks and/or desserts ("yay" for homemade + big "yay" if gluten-free). You can use the kitchen if something needs reheating.
• Notebook if you'd like to jot down thoughts or if it helps you think

RSVP & ATTENDEE CAP
Capped at 20 since we usually have a 75-80% show rate. Last time we had about 14-15 people—it was great.

Consistent flakers will be politely asked not to RSVP or removed from the group. If demand is high, we might adjust the cap.

PARKING
Driveway fits 2; curb parking is fine along Lagente Circle—just avoid blocking driveways. Message me (recommended) for the full address before the event. I'll need your name to add you to the front gate security list.
Need a ride? Leave a comment. People sometimes carpool from Sarasota/Bradenton.
