The Cards You Collect: How Experience Shapes What You Build

Fri, Nov 6, 4:00 PM

From Friday Coffee Meetup

4.8

What if the experiences that seem completely unrelated are actually preparing you for what comes next? Ben Ikwuagwu’s path to entrepreneurship has been anything but linear. He spent nearly a decade in global supply chain at Dell and Apple and then pursued a very different path as a performer—leading Sweet Matcha Band and playing stages including Carnegie Hall, ACL Live, and FOX. Today, he’s the Co-Founder and CEO of Soundcheck Live. Those chapters weren’t a branding story. They were the training and each experience gave Ben a different set of skills—or “cards”—that he eventually learned to play together. At this Friday Coffee Meetup, Ben will share how seemingly unrelated experiences, failures, and career pivots can become unexpected advantages when you’re building something new. He’ll take us inside his first year building Soundcheck and talk candidly about the pivots, the misses, what actually stuck, and what he’s learned about earning people’s trust and getting customers, investors, and teammates to believe in what you’re building. ### About Ben Ben Ikwuagwu is Co-Founder and CEO of Soundcheck Live, an operations platform for pro duction companies, agencies, and talent teams. Soundcheck helps live-event operators move beyond spreadsheets, group texts, and memory to manage and scale their businesses. Ben brings together experience across corporate operations, live entertainment, and technology to build tools for an industry he knows firsthand. ### Networking Come early to connect with fellow founders, technologists, creatives, and community members. Friday Coffee Meetup is as much about the people in the room as it is about the conversation on stage. **Accessibility:** FoundrSpace is located in a historic building without elevator access. If you require assistance, please email [pasadena@foundrspace.com](mailto:pasadena@foundrspace.com) and [admin@innovatepasadena.org](mailto:admin@innovatepasadena.org) by October 30.

Two Toastmasters meetings in one! This month, Lofty Speakers teams up Voces Latinas for a joint meeting! **Does the idea of public speaking freak you out?

(For a grand total of 4 hours per month!) Public speaking is scary - but stick with us and you’ll not only learn how to master the art of communication… you’ll also learn to love it - and meet some great people along the way.

Fish & Bear: The Most Interesting Conversations Every Week - Burbank/Glendale

Mon, Oct 26, 12:50 AM

From Fish & Bear: The Most Interesting Conversations You'll Have.

5.0

Most of our attendees arrive solo, but we leave as a group of friends. It looks like storytelling, but Fish & Bear is actually about creating the conditions for people to really listen to one another. Whether you’ve known each other for ten seconds or ten years, Fish & Bear changes the way you hear one another. Helping us stop preparing what we’re going to say and start hearing what is being said. And in so doing, it builds strong human connection and trust. The most enjoyable way to meet new people. Mostly listening, you'll hear our similarities and our uniqueness. Both peaceful & invigorating. Great for anyone looking to connect with others, especially people new to the area, singles, or anyone seeking to expand their circle of friends and acquaintances. **[We post our events on multiple platforms. Please RSVP at [fishandbear.net](http://fishandbear.net/) if you'd prefer to pay on the night.]([https://fishandbear.net](https://fishandbear.net/))** A Truly Invigorating Social Event, Where people - often strangers - meet and tell stories. Nobody knows what story they are going to tell. It's time to truly connect again in the way that only sitting in real life, with real people, telling real-life stories can. Storytelling is the capability we have used to connect with one another and create the modern world. And yet, especially on social media, we have reduced storytelling to story-selling and mostly share opinions rather than real-life experiences. Our events are simple, timed, unprepared story prompts that help everyone who listens connect to our unique and yet relatable experiences. Often, the stories told are intensely funny, sometimes emotional, but always interesting. I call them games rather than exercises because they are fun and often frivolous, but there's no competition and no one loses - except those who don't attend! 😀 **Arrive before the start.** [No Stress Hydro-Gardens](https://maps.app.goo.gl/P5tUAQkbz2Sd8Hk87) We have a lovely room at the back of this hydroponics and exotic plant store for our use. Please arrive on time so that we can start promptly at 6 pm. **Let the Games begin.** We will start with a couple of simple story rounds for the storytellers. The first is almost always 'The Story of your name' because everyone is **the** world's expert in living their life with their name. **Break!** We host these events to encourage connection and community, so this break is there to keep it light and cheerful. So stretch your legs, or stand in line 🚽! **Part Two.** Now that we all know this evening's storytellers, it is time to play a couple more story games to complete the structured part of the event. **The End!** There's a little time to chat with your new friends while we clear up and reset the room.
