Millennial + Gen Z Mini-Group Discussion & Connections: Pop-Up Social

Connect with your fellow Millennials and Gen Z folks with some deep-dive mini-group discussions at Merit Coffee North Dallas in the Preston-Forest shopping center (see the link below for more details).

We will try to set up at the sizeable outdoor patio seating area to take in some sun and winter heat!

This will not be the large group discussion format that I lead but rather a bit less formal. The objective is to get everyone to get past the small-talk and go deeper. I will float around and facilitate!

Themes and Questions (may change as the date approaches)

• How are you trying to or planning to keep your social life ALIVE?
• What are some growth-oriented or other positive developments in your life in 2025?
• Are there any movies that you watched this year that really made you think deeper about things? If so, please elaborate!
• How do you maintain your sanity when all the 'screens' are trying to convince you otherwise?
• What can Millennials and Zoomers do to keep the flame of humanity burning? (Especially in the face of growing isolation and mistrust between individuals...)

What to Expect
Let’s make it a goal to connect deeply with as many people as possible! I challenge each one of you to learn the names of anyone you speak to and try to remember something interesting about them. I don't want to hear "I'm bad with names."; choose to be better!

Your food and drink choices are up to you. I will do my best to facilitate and make sure everyone is connected and gets to know each other. Our objective above all is connecting meaningfully! We may consider going elsewhere for dinner afterwards depending on interest level.

Agenda
Arrive & Gather (15 min)
Icebreaker - Loosen the Tension! (5 min)
