Free Will vs. The Self: Whoโs in the Driverโs Seat?โ
In this discussion, weโll wrestle with one of the oldest philosophical questions: are we truly free to choose, or is our sense of self shaped by forces beyond our control? Weโll explore the tension between free will and self-determination, questioning how much agency we actually have in crafting our livesโand whether the self can ever be fully in charge.
Absolutely! Try these out: First, if we have free will, what does that freedom really mean in our daily choices? Second, how do external factorsโlike upbringing or societyโlimit or shape self-determination? Third, can we ever truly separate who we are from the circumstances that shaped us? And finally, do we need to believe in free will for a sense of personal responsibility, or is self-determination enough?
You can add a note at the end like: โParticipation in this discussion is 100 AED per attendee, ensuring a thoughtful and engaging session for everyone.โ

\*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 donโt 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.
Iโm 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 itโs all Iโve 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 thatโฆ
A Money Model is a deliberate sequence of offers. Itโs 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 customerโs 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. Itโll take you three hours. Use responsibly. Enjoy.

From Stability to Stewardship
A Biblical & Practical Path to Financial Freedom
This is not just a money class.
This is a restoration space.
The I AM Worthy of Ownershipโข Path is a 12-step, sister-centered journey for women who are ready to build financial stability without shame, fear, or pressureโand to do it in a way that honors both wisdom and the spirit.
Many women donโt struggle with money because they lack discipline or intelligence. They struggle because of unhealed experiences, survival patterns, and the quiet belief that they are โbehindโ or โdisqualified.โ This series gently challenges those beliefs while offering practical tools for peace, clarity, and long-term planning.
Together, we will talk honestly about:
Releasing shame and money anxiety
Building stability as a form of self-respect and spiritual discipline
Understanding money as a tool, not a source of worth
Managing debt with clarity instead of condemnation
Preparing for lifeโs unexpected moments without fear
Laying a calm foundation for future ownership and legacy
Each session blends practical financial education with reflection, conversation, and encouragement. There is no pressure to share personal numbers or experiences. You are welcome to speak, journal quietly, or simply listen.
This is not about hustle.
This is not about perfection.
This is about alignment, wisdom, and peace.
Who this series is for:
Women who are starting over or rebuilding
Women who want stability without stress
Women preparing for future ownership or housing decisions
Women who want their financial lives to reflect wholeness, not fear
No prior financial knowledge is required.
Come as you are. Bring a notebook.
Leave a little lighter than you arrived.
Light refreshments will be served along with 30 minutes of networking.
Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster
#### Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster
#### **Featuring Guest Speaker: John Blackburn**
**๐ Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)**
####
A lot of people get into real estate because they want freedom.
Then they buy a rentalโฆand realize most of the rent goes straight to the bank.
They technically own property, but the mortgage controls the income. And waiting 30 years for properties to be paid off doesnโt feel realistic.
This meetup is about understanding a different way to think about rental propertiesโฆ one that focuses on paying them off sooner so the income is actually usable.
**Featured Guest Speaker: John Blackburn**
Weโre excited to welcome John Blackburn as our guest speaker for this event.
John has been actively investing in real estate since 2006 and has:
* Been involved in **5,000+ real estate transactions**
* Helped investors **acquire over $150 million in rental property**
* **Raised more than $100 million** in private capital
John didnโt start with family money or shortcuts. He built his portfolio by focusing on clear systems, real numbers, and long-term strategy.
For this meetup, John will walk through how investors shift their focus from simply owning rentals to building properties that eventually pay themโฆwithout a mortgage attached.
**What Youโll Learn**
John will break down, in simple terms:
* Why most rental properties donโt produce much usable income early on
* Why buying more rentals isnโt always the answer
* How investors structure their properties to pay off mortgages in a fraction of the time
* How properties can work together to eliminate debt faster
* What changes once rentals become free and clear
This approach is often referred to as an accelerated paydown strategy โ using rental income intentionally to reduce debt sooner, rather than waiting decades for mortgages to run their course.
John will also share a simple calculator you can use to see how this works with real numbers and realistic scenarios.
**The Core Idea**
When a rental has a mortgage, the rent has one job: **pay the bank.**
When a rental is paid off, the rent has a different job: **pay you.**
Most people only see one timelineโฆ30 years.
This session shows how investors shorten that timeline and gradually increase their income as properties become free and clear.
**Who This Event Is For**
This event is for people who want more than just โowning rentalsโ on paper.
* Rental owners who are tired of most of the rent going to the bank and want a clearer path to real, usable income
* New investors who want to understand how rental properties actually build wealth over time before jumping in
* People with capital who want to invest in real estate with intention and a long-term plan
* Anyone serious about freedom and curious how rental properties transition from debt-heavy assets into income-producing ones
**Event Details**
**Location:** Ohio Brewing Company - 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
**Date & Time:** January 25th, 6โ8 PM (Doors open at 5:30)
**Cost:** Free (Seats are limited - RSVP required)

Volunteering provides a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need.
PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
