Business Owners

This is not a course. This is a Founder Bootcamp. A high-intensity, 48-hour business launch sprint designed for serious operators ready to build real infrastructure - not just take notes. Powered by Gmax Card, Brand Backie, Getshop Today, and in partnership with Tide, this bootcamp takes you from: **Idea → Banked → Online Store Live → Multi-Platform Ready** By Sunday evening, you don’t leave with slides. **You leave with:** • A live Tide business account • A fully built independent online store • Marketplace integrations (Temu / eBay / TikTok Shop depending on model) • An AI marketing system installed and configured • 12–18 months of core infrastructure free This is not passive learning. This is guided implementation under pressure — bootcamp style. **🗓 Day 1 – Founder Strategy & Qualification** Bootcamp begins with clarity. You will break down: • How modern eCommerce ecosystems actually work • Product model selection (own products vs dropshipping) • Multi-platform revenue strategy • AI-powered demand generation systems • Why some stores fail — and others scale At the end of Day 1, you decide whether to enter the Founder Track. To proceed into full build mode, participants activate a Tide business account during the bootcamp. This provides the required legal banking layer to launch and operate your store properly. This unlocks: **🗓 Day 2 – Infrastructure Build-Out Sprint** This is execution day. For those who qualify: • Business account activation • Store build setup • Marketplace integration • Marketing automation configuration • Launch roadmap mapping We build the stack with you - in real time. No slides-only teaching. No theory without execution. No “go home and try this later.” This is a structured, hands-on business launch sprint. If you’re serious about becoming an online founder, this is your entry point. Limited seats. Structured format. Bootcamp intensity. Implementation-focused. Register today!

Come and play Chamber Music at my house on Sunday March 15th; Time as suits between 2:15pm and 9:30pm Please include instruments and expected times in your response, and follow the following requested precautions when coming: Attendance requirements: Please do not come if you are unwell or if you know you were recently exposed to people with Covid or flu. Suggested standard is AB grade7 or NVQ level5 to professional, but in the end the ability to play with others is more important than instrumental technique I provide the following: Up to six playing spaces for groups of up to 12, 8, 6, 6, 6 and 3, respectively. One of the six-person playing-rooms has a carefully-chosen Steinway model B which will be available from about 5:45. Other rooms provide a Clavinova CLP575, a Clavinova 625, and an A415 harpsichord (all in different rooms). I have violins, violas, cello and a friend's 3/4 double bass available to play for multi-instrumentalists who do not wish to carry too much (please check before coming). I have a decent library of chamber music mostly for strings and for strings and piano; and in practice at least one wind player usually comes equipped with appropriate music (I will provide warning to winds should this ever not be the case). As this is my private home, details of the location will be emailed by early Sunday to those who have already signed up. Please confirm instruments, chosen timing and the attendance requirements You will see that available playing times are very long - and I can extend until 10:30pm if appropriate. The intention is to allow us to space out and to minimise infection risks - as well as to give multiple pianists access. Please bring a music stand (let me know if this is difficult or impractical, as I can provide a limited number). There will be beverages and biscuits. I have revised the anonymous contribution arrangement - it is now a rectangular tin on the high side in the kitchen. Please give if you can - we sometimes have insurance costs to cover as well as basic meetUp subscription; any surplus (wishful thinking so far) will be used to help extend the music library The list of signed-up players (by instrument and with timing) is now in the comments below; I will try to keep this reasonably up to date I have probably omitted things you need to know. Please ask. (Ditto apparent errors) Looking forward George

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
