Daejeon English/Korean Club (Speech, Conversation, Network)
안녕하세요! 대전 토스트마스터즈 이중언어 모임입니다.
✅️대중연설을 통해 학업과 커리어 발전이 필요하다.
✅️영어가 어느 정도 되는데 그 다음 정체되어 있다.
✅️성장 마인드의 사람들을 만나 함께 성장하고 싶다.
✅️전국을 넘어 전세계의 토스트마스터즈를 만나 커뮤니티를 형성하고 싶다.
✅️나는 성장이 목마르다!
이런 모든 분들께 저희 클럽을 강력히 추천합니다.
저희는 100년 전통의 국제적인 리더십 개발 및 대중연설을 연마하는 토스트마스터즈입니다. 미국에서 시작한 비영리 교육 단체이기에 영어 소통이 기본이지만, 대전 토스트마스터즈는 영어와 한국어를 모두 사용하는 이중언어모임으로 영어를 잘하셔도 못하셔도 모두 환영합니다.
성장 마인드셋을 가진 사람들과 끊임없이 소통하며 동반 성장하고 싶은 마음만 가지고 오세요.
저를 포함 정말 많은 분들이 토스트마스터즈에서 쌓은 대중연설 기술과 리더십 기술을 통해, 대학/대학원에서 장학금을 취득, 이직, 승진, 새로운 사업 시작 등 엄청난 삶의 변화를 경험하고 있습니다.
대전 토스트마스터즈는 대전 분만 아니라 서울, 대구, 세종 등에서 다양한 연령대의 멤버분들이 꾸준히 참여해주시고, 2025년부터 월 1회에서 월 2회로 모임을 확장했습니다!
가벼운 영어 회화가 아니라, 준비를 하고 대중연설을 하고, 듣고, 서로 건설적이고 지지적인 평가를 주고 받는 곳이라 성장이 간절한 분들께 적극 추천드려요. 물론 대중연설, 리더십 등의 기술을 떠나 저희는 매 모임 이후 함께 식사하고, 이벤트도 진행하고, 다른 지역 클럽과 조인트 미팅도 가지면서 정말 친하게 지내고 있어요 :) 놀러 오세요!
특히, 건강한 리더십이 필요하신 분들 여기 오셔서 함께 고민 나눕시다. 😄

Unlocking Retirement Capital: Flips, Wholesales & Private Money Strategies
FREE meetup. Register HERE 🎟️- https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unlocking-retirement-capital-flips-wholesales-private-money-strategies-tickets-1983411263481?aff=cicmeetupapp
**Unlocking Retirement Capital: Flips, Wholesales & Private Money Strategies in Self-Directed Accounts**
**Featuring Guest Speaker:** Amanda Holbrook (Specialized Trust Company)
**Hosted by:** Columbus Investors Club
### **Event Description**
Most people think retirement accounts are passive.
That they’re “for later.”That you can’t touch them. That real estate and retirement money don’t mix.
They’re wrong.
This meetup is about how investors use **Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s** to put retirement capital to work…**buying real estate, funding deals, and even raising private money** (the right way).
### **Featured Guest Speaker: Amanda Holbrook**
We’re excited to welcome **Amanda Holbrook of Specialized Trust Company** to break this down clearly and practically…so you understand what’s allowed, how it works, and what to avoid.
### **What You’ll Learn**
Amanda will walk through:
**Flip inside a Self-Directed IRA or Solo-401(k)**
* How to structure the deal correctly
* How expenses must be handled
* When UBIT may apply
**Wholesale within a retirement account**
* How assignments work
* What type of income it creates
**Use OPM (Other People’s Money) to scale**
* How investors raise private money from Self-Directed IRAs
* How to structure notes properly
* How to fund deals inside **and** outside your own retirement account
### **The Core Idea**
There is a lot of capital sitting in retirement accounts.
This session shows you how real estate investors unlock it **without guessing, winging it, or accidentally creating a compliance mess.**
### **Who This Event Is For**
* Investors flipping or wholesaling who want to understand self-directed rules
* Anyone raising private money (or wanting more capital sources)
* People with retirement funds who want them working harder than stocks/mutual funds
### **Event Details**
**Location:** Ohio Brewing Company – 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
**Date & Time:** Thursday, March 26th, 6–8 PM *(Doors open at 5:30)*
**Cost:** Free *(Seats are limited — RSVP required)*
**Food:** Free food included
**FREE meetup. Register HERE** 🎟️- https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unlocking-retirement-capital-flips-wholesales-private-money-strategies-tickets-1983411263481?aff=cicmeetupapp

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.

AI Your Way: MCPs vs Skills vs SubAgents 🤖🚀 - Sam Basu
SAM BASU IN-PERSON; NOTE: THIS IS THU, NOT TUE AS NORMAL
Code is cheap, but software is expensive. Modern AI is a big opportunity to streamline and automate developer workflows for better productivity. There are some challenges though – AI Models often lack knowledge and AI Agents need expertise/guidance to reliably pull off complex workflows. Context is everything for modern AI and you can bring it.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) aims to provide a standardized way to connect AI Agents to different data sources, tools and non-public information - the point is to provide deeply contextual information/expertise to AI. Skills are higher-level behaviors and instructional guardrails, that define how and when AI Agents should leverage tools to accomplish something meaningful. Subagents in AI are specialized, task-focused agents designed to handle specific, well-defined tasks within a larger AI system.
In terms of the food industry:
AI Agent = Chef 👨🍳👩🍳
MCP Tools = Raw Ingredients 🥔 🥩
Skills = Recipe Cards 📝 📇
SubAgents = Sous Chef 🔪 🍳
Loops = Door Watcher 💂👀
Developer = Restaurant Owner 👑.
So, what should developers use to bring context and guardrails to make AI work their way? Well, it depends and sometimes, the answer might be whatever combination makes developers most productive. With official SDKs and well-thought-out guidance, it is a breeze to work with MCPs, Skills or SubAgents. Developers could bring their own data, APIs, services, coding patterns and structured guidance to make AI Agents work their way. And AI Agentic workflows work the same way in IDEs or Terminals, paving the way autonomous ways of getting work done with AI. With contextual expertise to light up unique coding workflows, AI Agents can make developers ultra productive – upwards and onwards.
