Impact Investing

This event has a different topic each time and includes a variety of interactive exercises. It's an engaging and creative way to express ourselves, and connect with how others think, feel and deal with life. We will aim to provide a supportive and sate environment and open up about our lives freely. A lot of times we don't talk about what we are really going through because we are worried of what people might think of us. This causes us to bottle things up, feel disconnected with the people around us or feel ashamed of ourselves. Anything you share in the session is confidential and shall not be disclosed outside of the room. Please only RSVP if you intend to come and change your RSVP to 'No' if you are not going to be able to attend. • **PRICE:** 5 € to cover the room (Revolut/Cash/ Paypal). Please pay the fee after the workshop. • **TIME:** We will start at 19:25 and finish at 20:55. Please be on time, to respect other members in the group. • **VENUE:** We are meeting at the Abbey Presbyterian Church - Parnell Square N, Rotunda, Dublin 1 (entrance on the side of Frederick St.). The room is on the first floor, at the back on your left. • **NOTE:** Even though the event is held in a religious institution, the group and the event are entirely secular and the exercises are by no means related to spirituality or religion.

This event is organized by Albert's List. The event is online and FREE. Attendees can attend from anywhere. RSVP here: [https://luma.com/4f5frhsd](https://luma.com/4f5frhsd) Most people think reselling requires pallets, weekend sourcing trips, and a garage full of inventory. But the truth? Your highest-ROI items are probably already in your home. Charles Costa learned this the hard way. Years ago, a friend challenged him to list something—*anything*—he already owned. He grabbed an old camera lens, wrote a quick listing, and expected nothing. Two hours later, it sold for $68. That single sale changed everything. Not because of the money, but because of the realization: **You don’t need a big setup to start earning—just a system.** And that’s exactly what this webinar will teach. ### **In this free teaser session, you’ll learn:** * How to identify the everyday items in your home that quietly hold real resale value * The beginner mistakes that kill trust (and how to avoid them instantly) * Simple photography tricks that make your items stand out * How to price confidently using real market data—no guesswork * What actually moves the needle in your first 10 listings * The repeatable weekly workflow used by successful resellers to build steady income ### **You’ll walk away with:** * A clear understanding of the items in your home that can sell fastest * The exact steps to prepare, photograph, price, and list your first products * A confidence boost that you *can* make money without spending money * A starter checklist you can use the same day to list your first item ### **Plus: A Special Opportunity** At the end of the session, you’ll have the option to join the full course available now on Gumroad: [https://resellingguide.ai/](https://resellingguide.ai/) Attendees will receive an in-webinar discount, so join us to get it! Created by a veteran insider who has worked directly on marketplace systems, the course gives you a proven, practical roadmap—not generic hustle advice. You’ll learn how to launch, scale, and automate a side income without sourcing trips, pallets, or upfront investment. If you’re ready to turn unused items into real money, this is where it begins.

We’re running a beginner-friendly **soldering workshop at TOG Hackerspace for Engineers Week**. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to solder (or just get more confident with it), this is a hands-on session that starts from the basics and finishes with you building something real. Like our previous soldering workshops, we’ll cover safe tool use, good technique, and the common mistakes that catch people out. ## What to expect In this class, our instructors will guide you through the process of soldering components onto a circuit board. We’ll start with the fundamentals — how to use a soldering iron properly, how to get a clean joint, and how to spot (and fix) issues — then you’ll build your own project. ### New for this Engineers Week edition: choose your kit On the night, you’ll get to **pick one of five different kits** and build it after the lesson. Each kit is designed to be achievable for beginners, with help on hand if you get stuck. (We’ll share the list of the five kits closer to the date / on the booking page.) ## Workshop details * **Date:** **Thursday, 5th of March** * **Time:** **7:00 pm – 8:30 pm** * **Location:** TOG Hackerspace, Dublin 12 * **Cost:** *€25* * **Booking:** [https://www.tog.ie/2026/02/soldering-workshop-engineers-week-build-a-kit-on-the-night/](https://www.tog.ie/2026/02/soldering-workshop-engineers-week-build-a-kit-on-the-night/)

**Hands in the Soil: Community Growing, Learning & Craic** This first gathering will be a relaxed mix of **hands-on garden work, shared learning, and good conversation**. It’s about getting together in a real space, doing something practical, and seeing what ideas and connections might grow from there. On the day, we’ll: * Get our **hands dirty** with some light garden work and soil prep * Do some **seed sowing** and talk about what grows well locally * **Make kombucha together** and chat about fermentation, food, and simple home practices * Share knowledge, questions, and experiences around growing food * Enjoy some **fellowship, chats, and a bit of craic** along the way.Alongside the practical side, we’ll also have an open, informal discussion about a bigger idea: * The possibility of **small community “park farms” or gardens** in underused green spaces around Dublin * What that might look like, what’s realistic, and whether others feel drawn to exploring it further There’s no pressure, no expertise required, and no expectation beyond showing up with curiosity and a willingness to pitch in. Whether you’re experienced with gardening or completely new, you’re very welcome. Bring clothes you don’t mind getting muddy, and if you have them, gloves. Everything else will be very low-key. This is just a **first step** — a chance to meet, work, talk, and see if there’s a shared appetite to keep growing something together.

Jugger is a fast paced but easy to pick up sport that is great for beginners.

Its light contact and the only gear you need to bring is clothing you are comfortable running around in and some water.

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.

Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools.
