Neoliberalism: How One Economic Vision Reshaped Society
Neoliberalism took shape in the shadow of Keynesian dominance in the mid-20th century. While governments across the Western world embraced active economic management and expanded welfare states, a small group of economists and philosophers kept a different vision alive. Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, and the Mont Pelerin Society argued that central planning - even democratic planning - could threaten human freedom by concentrating power and swapping individual choice for bureaucratic judgment. Their critique was both economic and moral: markets werenât just efficient; they were closely tied to liberty. Friedman pushed back on the Keynesian story, arguing that government failures, not market failures, were often behind economic crises. For decades, these remained minority views - debated more in seminars than in parliament.
But in the 1970s, neoliberalism moved from the margins to center stage. Stagflation - high inflation combined with high unemployment - seemed impossible under Keynesian theory, yet there it was, and it made neoliberal ideas suddenly feel relevant (and even exciting) to politicians. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan didnât just adopt new policies - they championed a new philosophy. Thatcherâs famous line that âthere is no such thing as society, only individual men and womenâ captured the mood shift. Both pursued privatization, deregulation, union-busting, and tax cuts for the wealthy. The stateâs role changed from economic manager to referee of market rules. Within a decade, neoliberal policies became the new norm - and theyâve helped reshape how societies think about everything from welfare systems to work.
This session will be led by Luca.

#7 Female Networking â Navigating the life cycles the business world ignores
Most professional events feel like a job interview.
Most social hangouts feel like aimless small talk.
**We are here to do the opposite!**
đ WHY JOIN?
At the **Womenâs Coffee Network**, we offer a non-traditional experience where you don't have to fight for your voice, perfect an elevator pitch, or navigate a room of strangers alone. We created this circle because **we don't believe in the hustle; we believe in the power of a steady anchor.**
This is a facilitated experience, not just a meeting.
We donât just book a table; we curate a journey. Working with the precision of a designer and the empathy of a coach, weâve built this soft sanctuary where **the superficial is skipped** and **the high-fidelity connection begins**. We're here to share personal stories and build professional alliances.
đ To secure your spot, please [register via our Luma page](https://luma.com/9zz6puux)
đ WHO IS THIS FOR?
ââď¸ Ë It's a **female-only community** because we have our unique way to express ourselves, struggles in the business world, and jokes only other women can understand.
ââď¸ Ë If the idea of a meetup with 50 people makes you want to stay home, this circle is for you! We gather in **small, intimate groups** â to meet enough new people to have a deep conversation, but not so many that you feel anxious or overwhelmed.
ââď¸ Ë Whether you are leading a corporation, building a creative empire, or navigating the quiet uncertainty of a career transition, you have a seat at our table. The **diversity of professional backgrounds** makes our circle special with shared wisdom.
ââď¸ Ë Our **soft-flow dialogue** ensures that no bravery is required to be heard. You donât have to be the loudest in the room to be the most impactful. Here, your silence is respected, and your voice is gently invited.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
* A **guided start** where every woman is seen and heard. You introduce yourself saying whatever you feel like sharing in a way that is comfortable to you.
* We use our **custom-designed materials** to move past titles and discover the humans behind the roles.
* A **verified circle** of women where you can be professionally ambitious and personally vulnerable at the same time.
* Leave with **full batteries**, meaningful new professional bridges, and the support of women who truly *get it*.
THE DETAILS
đ Date & Time: Saturday\, March 28th\, 2026 \| 2:00 PM
đď¸ Registration: To protect the intimacy and quality of our circle, seats are strictly limited.
đ **If you feel called to create real connection in Barcelona within a female-only community, we canât wait to welcome you.** đ

Coffee Club Special Edition: Morning Hike with *The Human Board*
This isn't your usual coffee club. Inspired by how great it is to grab a coffee with a cool... *mentor,* you will:
**WAIT WHAAAAATTTT?!?!!?**
Welcome to a **very special â and second! â** edition of Coffee Club Barcelona where we host members of [The Human Board](https://www.humanboard.org/) in person for meaningful and free conversations about *your* career growth.
**INVITATION: Saturday 28 March, 8:30am - 10:30am @ Plaça del Nen de la Rutlla, Parc del Guinardó, meet at the statue.**
The Human Board is a very different kind of "board of advisors" where wonderful, talented people get the professional mentorship-driven guidance that they need about their careers. Accomplished, cool, and kind board members, who are at the height of their varied industries, listen well and give free guidance to those who apply for meetings. The Human Board is a global initiative that is almost two years old and has inspired career growth, pivots, exits, changes, applications, affirmations, and more.
This special coffee club event coincides with a board member summit where we have core board members flying in from around the world to convene in Barcelona, so this is a very rare opportunity to enjoy a morning stroll and have a casual chat with truly the best people in business (leaders of some of the most renowned companies around the world) about your own career and what you'd like to do next - for free.
*Those who joined us for the first Human Board edition back in October know just how special this is â and we're so excited to do it again.*
Similar to the usual [Coffee Club Barcelona ](https://www.meetup.com/coffee-club-walk-talk-coffee-with-us-throughout-barcelona/)format we will:
* Meet up with high-quality, high-vibe people, *THIS TIME AT **Plaça del Nen de la Rutlla, Parc del Guinardó***
* Bring a coffee to go (bring your own tumbler/thermos if you'd like) or grab one at the end with us â we will end our hike at a cafe.
* Go for a long walk/hike with these people *OUR CONVERSATION STARTER FOR THIS EVENT IS "Tell me about your career?"* :) in nature
* Chat about life for a couple hours while on the move and enjoying the sights and sounds of Barcelona
* Experience that happy, buoyant feeling that comes from an engaging, pleasant chat
* Enjoy some of the best views of Barcelona and nature
* Continue on with the rest of your day
If you'd like, please provide a reason / intention for attending so that Jenna and The Human Board can make this great for you.
**INVITATION: Saturday 28 March, 8:30am - 10:30am @ Plaça del Nen de la Rutlla, Parc del Guinardó, meet at the statue.**
We will leave the statue for our walk together at 8:40am. Please be prompt and on time, we will not wait and don't want to miss you. x
Disclaimers:
This meetup is free, but logically you must purchase your own coffee or beverage of your choice directly with the coffee shop that we're heading to after. The primary language of this meetup will be English, the organizer Jenna also speaks Spanish for any questions or needs. For accessibility please note that we will be hiking up and down steep inclines and uneven terrain to arrive at the mirador del nen de la rutlla. In the event of rain we will message to establish a new indoors location. If you have a well-behaved dog and would like to walk your dog at the same time you are encouraged to bring them. Note that there will be no presentations, we will not be doing any 'talking at,' we'll all be talking with each other, in separate 1:1, 2-3:1 conversations, while hiking around the mountain. Note that while this meetup is in English, this is \*not an English language learning group - this is a way for incredible strangers (both locals and expat locals, we're about 50/50) to get together, chat, and connect about real topics - this time, about your career. If you'd like, please provide a reason / intention for attending so that Jenna can make this great for you. Jenna will be actively hosting this space so don't be surprised if she sends you out for a walk with a new stranger, or changes it up a bit to encourage connection. Note that Jenna is intentionally keeping this group free. Be sure to join our **The Club** Whatsapp group after attending one of our Coffee Clubs to be connected with all of our people in Barcelona - in a no-spam, no-sales, genuinely just cool people meeting up - kind of way. If you'd like to support and/or team up with Jenna, buy her a coffee, check out her work at [holajenna.com,](http://holajenna.com,/) or find her at the next coffee club and say the code word: kaleidoscope.

CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
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.
Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People
**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People**
Confidence isnât just about believing in yourself, itâs about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside.
In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, weâll 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, weâll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when itâs 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 storiesâincluding the significance of turning 53âLachandra 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 connectionâplus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you youâre 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 youâre launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fullyâyou belong here.
Our work demands clarity, courage, and convictionâbut 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.
Itâs 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 ticketâwe want you to join us.*
Connected Westerville Night of Networking!
**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy*
You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life.
The problem isn't you. It's the format.
Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built.
Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else.
*That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real.
There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking.
Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum.
This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic.
You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation.
**April 14th. RSVP now.**
**When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081

Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**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 âyesâ, but weâre not sure how to implement or test this theory.
For our April meetup weâve 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.
Sheâll 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 weâre guessing thereâs more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps).
Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and scienceâusing 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 FastCasualâs Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
