Meet the Inner Critic

From The What's Next Circle

**A research-backed evening on the voice that says "you should have this figured out by now" and whether it's actually true.** You've recently retired, or you're getting close. Somewhere between "I finally have time for me" and "is this really it," a voice keeps showing up. It says you should already have this figured out. That wanting more is ungrateful. That you're too old to start over. Here's a question worth sitting with: is any of that true, or is it just a sentence you've been carrying so long it feels like fact? That's what we're digging into at this month's What's Next Circle session, built around *Take Back Your Brain* by Kara Loewentheil. No spiritual talk, no manifestation, just a clear look at the difference between what actually happened in your life and the story you've quietly attached to it. This isn't a book club. You don't need to have read anything. Whether you were with us for *The Unwritten Chapter* or this is your very first time in the room, you're exactly on time. What to expect: * 90 minutes, small group, real conversation * No prep, no homework, no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with * One idea to test out in your own life this week

What Are You Curious About?

What Are You Curious About?

Thu, Sep 24, 9:30 PM
From The What's Next Circle

"Is it practical?" That question has probably run more of your decisions over the last thirty years than you'd guess. It's a good question. It's just not the only one. This month we're making the case for taking your own curiosity seriously, even when it doesn't come with a plan attached. You don't need to have read anything. You just need to show up willing to notice what you've been putting off for "someday." In this session, you'll name one thing you're genuinely curious about, without qualifying it or explaining why it matters. Then you'll leave with one small, low stakes way to pay attention to it this week. Not a project. Not a commitment. Just a little bit of following. Whether this is your first time with us or you've been with us since the beginning, you're exactly on time. There's nothing to catch up on.

Columbus OSINT and AI: Mining Data Insights

Sun, Sep 27, 6:00 PM
From Open Source Intelligence and Machine Learning

We are getting together to talk about the intersection of open source intelligence and machine learning. This meetup is designed for practitioners, researchers, and anyone curious about how AI tools are changing the way we collect, analyze, and verify data. The goal is to move past the theory and share practical approaches for mining insights in an increasingly noisy digital landscape. Whether you are a seasoned analyst or just starting to experiment with these technologies, this is a space to exchange ideas and troubleshoot common challenges. We will keep the format informal, focusing on open conversation and peer-to-peer learning rather than a formal presentation. If you have been working on a project or have a specific technique you have been testing, feel free to bring it up. We look forward to seeing everyone in person and building out our local community here in Columbus. If you think you can make it, please go ahead and RSVP so we can get an accurate headcount for the space.

AWS Cost Cleanup Advisor: Powered by Amazon Bedrock & Claude 3 Haiku!

AWS Cost Cleanup Advisor: Powered by Amazon Bedrock & Claude 3 Haiku!

Tue, Sep 15, 9:30 PM
From Columbus AWS (Amazon Web Services) Meetup
4.7

AWS environments can accumulate unused and underutilized resources, making cost optimization an ongoing challenge. In this session, Girish, an AWS Community Builder, will demonstrate how he built an AI-powered AWS Cost Cleanup Advisor using Amazon Bedrock and Claude 3 Haiku. We’ll explore how the solution scans AWS resources and identifies potential cost optimization opportunities. Girish will walk through how Kiro and agentic AI workflows helped accelerate the development process. We’ll also look at the serverless architecture using AWS Lambda, Amazon EventBridge, Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon SES. The solution uses AI to analyze findings, assess risk and confidence, and provide actionable recommendations. Finally, Girish will demonstrate the solution in action and show how the AI-generated cost optimization report is delivered. The session will highlight practical ways to combine AWS serverless services, generative AI, and Kiro to solve real-world cloud operations challenges. **THANK YOU** *Franklin University* for hosting our meetup!
