*"The best questions aren't always the ones we're asked—they're the ones we create together."* Usually, at a Curious Souls Café gathering, you arrive to find a carefully curated deck of questions waiting for you. This time, we are flipping the script: **you** are the conversation designer. Every great discussion starts with a spark of curiosity. In this special interactive event, we aren't just answering questions; we are building the game from the ground up. We will split into small teams, pick our own unique themes, and use our [Deck Builder](https://curioussouls.cafe/tools/builder/) webapp to co-create custom decks with AI on the fly. Will your team build a deck about navigating the modern workplace? A lighthearted round of nostalgic "What Ifs"? Or a deep dive into the unwritten rules of life? The direction of the night is entirely in your hands! Bring your creativity, a collaborative spirit, and an open mind. Let's discover what happens when we unleash our collective curiosity. **Inviting those who...** 🎨 Want to flex their creative muscles and design a conversation experience for others. 🤝 Enjoy collaborative team-building and bonding over shared ideas in a low-pressure setting. 📱 Are eager to test out a fun, interactive web tool to guide real-world connections. 🗣️ Hope to connect with kindred spirits in a judgment-free space where every voice shapes the night. **📅 Agenda / What You'll Experience** **💬 Phase 1: The Designer's Studio** After a brief welcome, we will group into small teams. Using your smartphones, your team will decide on a topic and use our [Deck Builder](https://app.curioussouls.cafe/builder/about/) app (with the help of its AI Generator) to draft a custom deck of 5 to 10 meaningful questions. **🎲 Phase 2: The Roll & Share** Once the decks are built, the host will roll the virtual 3D dice to decide which person goes first. That person will generate a QR code directly on their screen. Everyone else simply scans their phone, and the game begins! **💬 Phase 3: Prompted Conversations** We will play through the winning person's custom deck, enjoying the unique flavor and perspective they brought to the table. After a while, we'll roll the dice again and scan the next person's QR code, rotating until everyone has had a chance to "host" a round. From there, we’ll embark on a respectful, engaging, and meaningful conversation, celebrating the diversity of perspectives and ideas within the group. *Note: This session requires a smartphone per person to access the builder via a web link. If you do not have a device, don't worry—you can easily team up with someone who does or ask our facilitator for support!* **💬 Final Thoughts and Feedback** Where time allows, in the final 10 minutes of the event, we’ll take a moment to reflect on the key insights, memorable moments, and takeaways from our discussions. This is a chance to distill the shared wisdom and leave with a deeper understanding of the topics we’ve explored together. After the event officially concludes, the group may choose to extend the session, depending on the group’s interest. To explore what our events are like, check out our official website at [https://curioussouls.cafe](https://curioussouls.cafe) ⚠️ **Content Guideline**: Because participants will be generating their own discussion prompts, we ask everyone to keep their questions respectful, inclusive, and appropriate for a diverse public setting. If your team uses the app's AI Generator, you'll notice an "Extra Empathy" filter is active by default—this is designed to shift the focus from "wounds to wisdom" and actively avoid heavy triggers. We encourage depth and curiosity, but please steer clear of overly sensitive, explicit, or hostile topics to maintain a safe space for all attendees. 📍 Location City: Hong Kong Address: Empire Centre, 68 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East Inside the shopping mall of Empire Centre, there is a large open area dedicated to a café. We will sit at a round table or sofa inside (near a Hang Seng ATM or 7-Eleven store). Please look for the big words "Curious Souls Café" on our table. If you take the MTR, the nearest station and exit will be East Tsim Sha Tsui Station (Exit P1). From there, you can walk to Empire Centre, which is just a few minutes away.

Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:00–8:30 PM Eastern Central Ohio Chapter Meeting IN PERSON IN COLUMBUS How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals If you can’t fund it, you don’t have a deal. And right now, funding is where more investors are getting stuck. Private lenders are more cautious. Partners are asking better questions. And deals that look good on paper still fall apart when the money doesn’t show up. That’s why we’re bringing in a panel of investors who are actually getting their deals funded right now. You’ll hear how they’re finding money, structuring deals, and building relationships that lead to repeat funding. Here’s what you’ll learn: * Where they’re finding private lenders today * How they start conversations that lead to funding * What makes lenders and partners say YES * How they structure deals to be fundable * The biggest mistakes investors make when raising money * How to build repeat funding relationships **Early Session (6:00–7:00 PM Eastern):** **Having Trouble Finding Tenants?

**How to Get Off-Market Deals With Direct-to-Seller Marketing** Want to learn how to get off-market deals through direct-to-seller marketing without relying on agents, wholesalers, or the MLS for consistent deal flow? That is exactly what we are covering at this next Columbus Investors Club Meetup. Get Your Free Ticket **[HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-get-off-market-deals-with-direct-to-seller-marketing-tickets-1987845260686?aff=cicmeetupapp)**[ ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-get-off-market-deals-with-direct-to-seller-marketing-tickets-1987845260686?aff=cicmeetupapp)🎟️ Most investors who try to do off-market deals make the same mistake: they throw money into a marketing channel, pray that it works, and hope a deal comes out the other side. There is no real strategy, no clear math, no tracking, and no process to know what is actually working. At this meetup, we are going to break down how to reverse engineer direct-to-seller marketing using our SCALE framework so you can approach your marketing with more clarity, confidence, and consistency. We will cover how to think through inbound, outbound, and free marketing channels, how to choose the right channel for your goals, how to run the numbers before you spend, how to allocate the right budget, how to launch the campaign correctly, and how to evaluate and track performance so you can make better decisions moving forward. **SCALE Framework:** **S –** Select the right channel **C –** Calculate the numbers **A –** Allocate the budget **L –** Launch the campaign **E –** Evaluate and track it **What We’ll Cover** * How to get off-market deals through direct-to-seller marketing * How to stop guessing and start reverse engineering your marketing * The difference between inbound, outbound, and free marketing channels * How to choose the right channel for your business and market * How to calculate the numbers before launching * How to allocate a budget based on goals, not emotion * How to launch and track a campaign the right way * How to create more consistent and predictable deal flow **Date:** May 28, 2026 (Thursday) **Time:** 6 - 8pm EST **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company, 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Save Your Seat** → https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-get-off-market-deals-with-direct-to-seller-marketing-tickets-1987845260686?aff=cicmeetupapp **FREE DRINKS & FOOD PROVIDED!** **About Columbus Investors Club** The Columbus Investors Club is a local meetup for real estate investors, aspiring investors, contractors, vendors, lenders, realtors, and other professionals who want to grow in the Columbus market. The goal is to create real connection, real opportunity, and real growth by getting the right people in the room. Whether you are brand new or already doing deals, this is a place to build relationships, learn from others in the business, find opportunities, and grow your presence in the local real estate community.

Sometimes it’s a massive advantage… and sometimes it can complicate your business if you don’t know what you’re walking into. In this training, we’ll cut through the “agents vs investors” drama and focus on one thing: **what makes you more money and gives you more leverage**. You’ll learn: * **When being licensed helps investors win** (better access, better data, better terms, better deal flow) * How investors use a license to **create extra profit centers** (commissions, referrals, listings, buyer rep, property management pathways) * The truth about **MLS access, pocket listings, and being first to the good deals** * How licensing impacts **wholesaling, double-closing, assignments, and disclosures** * What brokerages don’t tell you: **fees, splits, compliance, and time requirements** * When it’s smarter to **partner with an agent** instead of becoming one * A simple decision framework: **licensed vs partnered vs hybrid model** You’ll walk out knowing whether licensing fits your goals—and if it does, the cleanest path to do it without slowing down your investing.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
