Entrepreneurship

AI is everywhere. Or is it? Depending on who you talk to, it's either transforming businesses overnight or creating more work than it saves. The truth? It's somewhere in the middle — and that middle is where the interesting conversation lives. This is an informal roundtable for entrepreneurs, business owners and managers who are curious, skeptical, excited or just plain confused about AI and what it actually means for their work. No slides. No pitch. No agenda beyond an honest conversation about what's working, what isn't and what's worth paying attention to. Come prepared to share your real experience — good, bad and overhyped. Leave with a clearer picture of where AI actually fits in your world right now. Facilitated by Allison Glass, founder of Zazzo Group — an AI and operations advisor who believes a little honest thinking at the start goes a long way. \-\-\-\-\- Join the Nice Nomads community on Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/NiceNomads/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/NiceNomads/)

Hello les WiNi ! Retrouvons-nous le **26 mai prochain**, pour la suite de la présentation de Figma. En effet, lors de notre dernier Meetup, nous avons exploré les fondamentaux de Figma : ses principes, ses contextes d'utilisation et comment l'intégrer dans son workflow. Les échanges ont été si riches que la partie WordPress n'a pas pu avoir lieu ! On remet ça avec cette **Partie 2, entièrement dédiée à la traduction des maquettes Figma en site WordPress fonctionnel.** Au programme, Gutenberg + GenerateBlocks en action, illustrés par une étude de cas concrète de refonte depuis la maquette Figma jusqu'au rendu final dans l'éditeur de blocs. Merci à Amine Atia Atia et Eroan Boyer pour leur partage ! **Apportez vos ordinateurs** pour participer à la partie pratique ! Et bien sûr, un grand merci à l'hébergeur français **[o2switch](https://www.o2switch.fr/)** qui sponsorise mon meetup et me permet, ainsi, de pouvoir louer une salle pour nous retrouver.

**A missing persons mystery, a serial killer thriller, and an epic love story - with a unique twist on each...** Late one summer, the town of Monta Clare is shattered by the abduction of teenager Joseph 'Patch' Macauley. Nobody more so than Saint Brown, who will risk everything to find her best friend. But when she does: it will break her heart. Patch lies alone in a pitch-black room - until he feels a hand in his. Her name is Grace and, though they cannot see each other, she lights their world with her words. But when he escapes: there is no sign she ever even existed. Left with only her voice and her name, he paints her from broken memories - and charts an epic search to find her. As years turn to decades, and hope becomes obsession, Saint will shadow his journey - on a darker path to hunt down the man who took them - and set free the only boy she ever loved. Even if finding the truth means losing each other forever...

VO Hi Folks, This Meet Up is online. On Zoom. Though you can meet me in person if you wish. See location info. It will be in two 40 minute parts. Part One starts at 19h30. Ends at 20h10. Part Two starts at 20h15. Ends at 20h55. Please watch The TRUMAN SHOW. If you are unable to watch it, please read the screenplay or a long synopsis of the story. We will identity the key FIVE CHARACTERS. We will also create a PITCH for it. I will share structural principals which will make this clear. I hope you will then apply these techniques to your own ideas and start to see these patterns in other stories you enjoy. Pete VF Salut à tous, Cette rencontre se déroule en ligne, sur Zoom. Mais je vais être à la Grande Bench, si vous préférez de RDV là. Il sera divisée en deux parties de 40 minutes. La première partie commence à 19h30 et se termine à 20h10. La deuxième partie commence à 20h15 et se termine à 20h55. Veuillez regarder « The Truman Show ». Si vous ne pouvez pas le regarder, veuillez lire le scénario ou un long synopsis. Nous identifierons les cinq personnages et nous créerons également une présentation avec les éléments plus importants. Je partagerai des principes structurels qui vous permettront d'y voir plus clair. J'espère que vous appliquerez ensuite ces techniques à vos propres idées et que vous commencerez à repérer ces schémas dans d'autres histoires que vous appréciez. Pete

**Business to Beers,** c'est un groupe d'entrepreneurs, indépendants, freelances et porteurs de projets qui se retrouvent autour d'une bière (ou d'une limonade, on ne juge pas) pour faire ce que les afterworks corporate ont oublié de faire : discuter pour de vrai. **Ici, on vient pour :** * Échanger sur nos projets, nos galères, nos réussites * Partager des conseils, des contacts, des bons plans * Boire une bière dans une ambiance détendue * Faire affaire, oui — mais parce que les bonnes opportunités naissent naturellement quand on se parle vraiment. **Et surtout, palier à la solitude que connaissent tous les entrepreneurs.** **Ce qu'on ne fait pas :** * Pas de prospection agressive * Pas de pitch chronométré * Pas de "tiens, voici 10 cartes de visite, distribue-les" * Pas de discours commercial déguisé en discussion **Ce qu'on fait :** * On se présente normalement, comme entre amis * On parle business si ça vient, autre chose si on en a envie * On crée des liens humains avant les liens pros * On repart avec des potes entrepreneurs, et parfois des deals **Pour qui ?** Entrepreneurs, freelances, dirigeants, indépendants, porteurs de projets, curieux du business — débutants comme confirmés. Tous secteurs, toutes tailles. La seule condition : venir avec l'envie d'écouter autant que de parler. *La meilleure idée business que tu auras cette semaine se cache peut-être au fond d'un verre. 🍻*

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads. **What to expect** Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method.
