**What this is about?** This is a meetup group focused on AI. We meet every Saturday at 7:30pm at DIFC. Usually there are up to 30 people from different backgrounds, such as AI programmers, rocket engineers, physicists, marketing, designers, investors... But it's also meant for people who have no background in AI and are looking for more insight. This is a very casual group for everyone, no presentations, you can pitch your AI business idea or discuss your favorite Terminator movie. We meet at the Stage Area (next to S&C Music, see directions https://imgur.com/a/QIvYOvT ) above the Carrefour market at DIFC, just look for a group of people there without board games (if you see board games, that's another group). The group is free and there is no requirement to buy anything. There is free wifi. 📣 WhatsApp group for event updates (only mods can post): [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JjrVIJyxHbe9fUWoGLaJsZ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JjrVIJyxHbe9fUWoGLaJsZ) 📍To get there: 🚇 Metro Station: Financial Centre Metro Station, 5 minutes walk, look for the Financial Centre exit sign. 🚗 Parking Options: Gate Avenue Parking is unfortunately under construction. Other options: Gate District Building 2: free underground parking from 6 pm onwards. \* Street Parking near Ritz Carlton: This is a paid parking option, conveniently located. \* Gate Avenue Open Parking: Present a purchase receipt for 4 hours of complimentary parking. 💡 **Note**: *You might see a few other Meetup pages with similar names - this one’s run by the folks actually hosting the weekly meetups and building the in-person community you’ve seen at DIFC.* *PS: We occasionally take group photos to capture good vibes and community spirit, by attending you're comfortable with casual group photos - feel free to step aside if you don't wish to be in them*

Thanks for joining the Money Minds meetup group. If you would like to be the first to know whenever a new event is announced, please join our whatsapp group using the link; [https://chat.whatsapp.com/DPbMfZndPooGHSxFCLCKHg](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DPbMfZndPooGHSxFCLCKHg) \*Guinness World Record: Fastest Selling Non-Fiction Book in History\* \*\* OVER 5,000,000 COPIES SOLD IN THE $100M SERIES!! \*\* This book will show you the art of getting more customers to spend more money faster. If you have a business, this book will help you make more from it. If you don’t have a business, this will help you start one. If you have parents, this book will help you retire them. If you have rivals, this book will help you beat them. If you have monetary goals, this book will help you achieve them. I’m not a happiness guru, a fitness guru, an investing guru, or anything else. But, I can show you how to accelerate cash flow in a business - in other words - get more customers to spend more money in less time (over & over again). I know because it’s all I’ve done in my adult career. I crossed $100M net worth by age 31. Today: I buy and scale companies at my family office Acquisition.com. My side hustle: I make content showing how we do it. My joke life goal is to be the most jacked billionaire. My real-life goal is to die with nothing left to give. A little more about the book if you want that… A Money Model is a deliberate sequence of offers. It’s what you offer, when you offer, and how you offer it to make as much money as you can as fast as you can. Ideally, to make enough money from one customer to get and service at least two more customers in less than thirty days. And it rarely looks clean, but I break $100M Money Models into three stages: Stage I: Get Cash - Attraction Offers get more customers for less Stage II: Get More Cash - Upsell & Downsell Offers make more money from them faster Stage III: Get The Most Cash - Continuity Offers maximize their total money spent In real life, it happens like this... First, I get customers reliably. Then, I make sure they pay for themselves reliably. Then, I make sure they pay for other customers reliably. Then, I start maximizing each customer’s long-term value. Then, I spend as many advertising dollars as I can to print as much money as possible. This is my cookbook for making money. It took me over a decade to learn all these tactics. It’ll take you three hours. Use responsibly. Enjoy.

These readings can help you see situations and problems from a different perspective. Sometimes, that's all you need to solve a problem. I'll draw cards to offer insights.

Going to linkedin & uploading your resume to a 100 jobs is a guaranteed failed strategy, we have something new to help you land your next job! [https://eseek.app/jobs](https://eseek.app/jobs) => register => upload resume => we create job-specific AI tailored resumes for each job we match you to **There's a whatsapp group you can join we send in the invite to your inbox on the site.** **Boost your chances of landing a new job.** **Simply upload your resume**, and we’ll automatically match you with relevant opportunities—including roles you might never have discovered on your own. Then the real magic begins. **For every job you’re matched with, we create a customized resume and a tailored cover letter designed specifically for that position**. Each application clearly explains to the hiring manager why your skills and experience make you an ideal fit. By making your value immediately clear, you make it easier for hiring managers to move your application forward—giving you a stronger edge in the hiring process. *** Why this goes beyond what you get on LinkedIn Traditional job platforms like LinkedIn rely heavily on keyword matching. That means your opportunities are often limited to the exact terms you search for—or the obvious matches based on job titles and skills you already know to look for. As a result, you can miss out on roles that actually fit your experience but are described differently. Our approach is fundamentally different. We use advanced vector similarity to understand the deeper meaning of your experience, not just the keywords. This allows us to match you with roles that align with your skills and background—even if they don’t use the same wording you would search for. In other words, we uncover opportunities you didn’t know you were a fit for. There’s also a major difference in how you present yourself. Most resumes are generic, static, and sent to dozens of jobs unchanged. For hiring managers, that makes it difficult to quickly see why a candidate stands out or fits a specific role. When everyone looks the same on paper, strong candidates often get overlooked. That’s where we give you a real edge. For every job you apply to, we generate a tailored resume and a customized cover letter that directly connects your experience to what that specific role is looking for. Instead of making hiring managers figure it out themselves, your application clearly shows why you’re a strong match. The result: your application stands out, demonstrates genuine interest, and makes it easier for hiring managers to move you forward—giving you a meaningful advantage over candidates using generic, one-size-fits-all resumes.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
