16.00 Kochen, wer schon gerne kommt 17.15 Essen 19.15 Filmbesprechung Wir schauen die 121 Minuten lange US-Filmkomödie “Man lernt nie aus.» Original: «The Intern” mit Robert de Niro aus dem Jahr 2015 i Das Drehbuch und die Regie stammen von Nancy Meyers Weitere Daten für einen Filmabend: Immer am letzten Samstag des Monats (ausser Juli und Dezember) – zum Eintragen in die Agenda 25\. April 30\. Mai 27\. Juni 29\. August 26\. September 31\. Oktober 28\. November 19\. Dezember Handlung: Der 70-jährige Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) bemüht sich intensiv darum - ohne seine verstorbene geliebte und vertraute Lebensgefährtin -, seinen Ruhestand mit den üblichen Altersaktivitäten auszufüllen und dabei beglückt zu werden: Reisen, Joggen, Joga, Sprachenlernen, an Beerdigungen teilnehmen, Enkel hüten, denen er zu viel ist, usw. Das gelingt ihm nicht und er fühlt sich leer ohne seine Frau, die das Leben trotz schwerem Leben leicht genommen hat. Er erfreut sich nämlich daran, ein Mitspieler zu sein, dazuzugehören, gebraucht zu sein und das Leben so mitzugestalten, dass alle aufeinander bezogen leben können. Er meldet sich als Senior-Praktikant für eine Resozialisierung bei einer erfolgreichen Mode-Website mit lauter jungen Menschen. Als alter Mann erscheint es so, dass er ein Hindernis bei der Firma und deren Gründerin und Chefin Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway) darstellt. Anfangs als altbackener Mensch mit Anzug und Krawatte sowie Unkenntnis von Computerprogrammen belächelt, der nicht zu der neuen Welt passt, bringt er sich nach und nach feinsinnig und sehr konstruktiv in das Betriebsgeschehen ein. Er ist erfasst schnell die Gefühlslage der Einzelnen, beobachtet genau und mit Sympathie, nähert sich behutsam an und hilft praktisch, ausgleichend und ohne moralische Beurteilung. Er ist sich nicht zu schade für irgendeine sogenannt untere Arbeit, sondern packt zu, wo er andere erfreuen kann, ohne sie ins Defizit zu bringen. Seine warmherzige und umsichtige Herangehensweise ermöglicht es allen, sich entwickeln zu können und sich mit ihren Schwachpunkte nicht gedemütigt zu fühlen. So berät er einen jüngeren Mit-Praktikanten, wie er eine kleine Wohnung finden könnte, was nicht erfolgreich ist. Daraufhin lädt er ihn - ganz fürsorglich - als Mitbewohner zu sich ein. Er legt einem Mitarbeiter unaufdringlich nahe, mit einer Freundin direkt zu sprechen anstatt ein sms zu schreiben, um dessen Fehltritt wieder einzurenken. Er verhilft - zuvorkommend und achtsam - der überforderten Sekretärin dazu, sich helfen zu lassen, ohne sich entwertet zu fühlen. Er begleitet die mutige Chefin der Firma, Jules, in allen Lebenslagen, stützt sie vorausschauend in ihren grossen Fähigkeiten, die Wünsche der Kunden entgegenzunehmen, und hält sie taktvoll davon ab, einen Geschäftsleiter einzustellen, indem er ihre Selbstsicherheit stärkt und ihre Selbstzweifel sachte ausräumt, insbesondere dadurch, dass er besonnen jede kritische Äusserung in ein aufbauendes Entgegenkommen umbaut. Sie fühlt sich von seiner warmherzigen und ausgeglichenen Art erfasst und bringt ihm immer mehr Vertrauen entgegen und bereichert sein Leben durch ihre zupackende Art und ihre Wertschätzung seines achtsamen Umgangs. Sie konnte so auch ihr Kindheitsgefühl überwinden, dass sie mit ihrer Art nur aneckt und nicht genügt. Im Film zeigt sich, dass eine erfolgreiche Frau mit Familie nicht beweisen muss, dass sie gut genug ist und deshalb die immensen Anforderungen alleine bewältigen muss. Er steht ihr so ausdauernd und vorausschauend in kleinen Dingen zur Seite und ermöglicht ihr, dass sie sich entspannen kann und nicht überfordert sein muss angesichts dieser vertrauensvollen, unaufgeregten und umsichtigen Rückenstärkung. Die freundschaftliche gegenseitige Zuneigung entsteht nach und nach und macht das Leben für beide und für die ganze Firma immer frohgemuter. Es zeigt sich wie so oft in unserer Kultur, dass sich Jules Mann als Hausmann und ehemals besser verdienend, der seine Arbeit aus Liebe zu ihr zugunsten von ihrer Selbständigkeit aufgegeben hat - ganz unbewusst - unwert fühlt und sein Kleinheitsgefühl mit einer anderen Frau zu überwinden versucht. Es gelingt ihnen jedoch, ihre Zugehörigkeit zueinander wieder aufleben zu lassen. Sie bringt zum Ausdruck, wie viel ihr eine innige Verbindung bedeutet und ihr Mann erkennt, dass ihn ein Schwächegefühl und vielleicht auch Eifersucht von seiner Frau weggetrieben hatte. Im Film zeigt sich in allen Beziehungen, wie wir Menschen generell Freude am Leben entwickeln können, wenn wir füreinander empfinden können. Verständnis und freundschaftliche Gefühle kommen dann auf, wenn wir uns erfasst fühlen und gleichwertig füreinander wichtig sind. Das gilt für das Alter, den beruflichen Alltag genauso wie in Partnerschaften und in der Beziehung von Frau und Mann.

## (Lesson 2) ## What to expect Project Equilibrium is an in-person introduction to disciplined, rule-based trading automation. This first event is designed to be clear, practical, and approachable no hype, no pressure, and no prior technical background required. ### Why we meet (two-session structure) This meetup is structured as **two lessons**: **Lesson 1 — The “Why” (mindset + framework)** * What Project Equilibrium is (and what it is not) * Why we focus on process, rules, and execution discipline * What “24/7 execution” means in practice * Q&A and open discussion **Lesson 2 — The “How” (step-by-step setup)** * A simple walkthrough of the basic tools you need * Step-by-step guidance to install and prepare the required exchange apps/accounts * A clear checklist to be ready for future sessions (You won’t be left alone—everything is explained calmly and in order.) ### What to bring To make the second lesson smooth, please bring: * **A smartphone** (for authentication and exchange app setup) * **A laptop** (for the setup steps and configuration) If you only have one device, you can still join Lesson 1. The setup lesson is simply easier with both. ### Who this is for * People curious about algorithmic execution and portfolio discipline * Beginners who want a structured approach * Experienced traders who want more consistency and less stress ### Agenda * Welcome + introductions * Lesson focus of the day (Why / How) * Guided walkthrough (where applicable) * Q&A + next steps ### How to find the group * Arrive a few minutes early and look for the **Project Equilibrium** group. * I will be there to welcome attendees if you’re unsure, simply ask the venue staff for the Meetup group name.

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.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
