Hello! I’m organising a coworking + socialising session for all of us who are working on projects (e.g. our own creations, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have time for both socialising AND working, we will be using the so-called “Pomodoro” technique: **50 mins deep work** (silent), followed by **10 mins break** to socialise. And then repeat! You are welcome to join whatever your personal background is, and whatever project you are working on. I (the host) speak English and German, so either language is fine. ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **Short Intro** Tell us who you are and share something about what you will be working on today * **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\) Each Pomodoro session consists of 50 mins focused “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, **phones on silent mode**) -> then 10 mins break: a chance to share your progress with others -> Repeat * **15 mins Wrap Up** Celebrate what you achieved and get to know others 😊 ———— The location is **Espresso House near Checkpoint Charlie** (they have multiple outlets - so be sure to go to the correct one!) Wifi + power plugs are available - but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case 🙃 You **do not** have to pay anything. But since we are using the café space, it is common courtesy to buy at least one drink (coffee costs roughly **4 Euros**).

Tired of working solo from home? Craving good coffee and a dose of human connection while you tick off your to-do list? Join us for our **weekly coworking cafe session every Tuesday** – a casual space for remote workers, freelancers, creatives, and anyone who loves the idea of working together instead of alone. 🌿 *** **📍 Location:** The social hub ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/tjQwRDCTwHHNg9tG6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy )**📌 Important Note:** We’ll be **reserving a table at The Social Hub every Tuesday**, so if you RSVP, please make sure you can attend. If your plans change, kindly **update your RSVP in advance** so others can take your spot and we can manage the reservation better 🙏 The Social Hub is a **great space to work** — comfortable seating, reliable internet, good coffee ☕, and food options available if you’d like to grab something while working. **🕙 Time:** 9:30 AM – 16:00 PM (Join when you can, leave when you must but if you want to sit with the group then please do come by 10:00 AM) **🎯 Agenda:** Work side by side, get inspired, and share a few laughs (and maybe a croissant). Whether you're deep in focus or need a nudge to stay productive, you’ll be in good company. *** **Why join?** ✔️ Stay motivated ✔️ Get sh\*t done ✔️ Make new connections ✔️ Share ideas, inspo, and mini brain breaks ✔️ Enjoy great coffee & cozy vibes ☕ There’s no rigid structure – just a friendly, respectful atmosphere to **work quietly**, **chat during breaks**, and build a rhythm together. **💬 Notes & Community Vibe:** 🌈 This space is **LGBTQ+ friendly**, and we’re committed to creating a **safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment** for everyone – no matter your background, identity, or how you work. 🔁 This event happens **every Tuesday** – so if you miss one, no worries! You can always RSVP for the next. 👥 We’re trying to build a small, consistent **community**, so spots are **limited** to keep the vibe cozy and collaborative. 🔌 Bring a charged laptop – outlets may be limited 🍽️ Please support the hotel by ordering a drink or snack

70 minutes of breathwork. From home. Among men. No small talk, no theory, no esoteric lecture. You log in, we breathe together, you log out — clearer than before. **Your benefits from joining a breathwork session:** 1. **Nervous system regulation** → moving from a reactive state into inner calm. 2. **Mental clarity** → not from thinking more, but from breathing better. 3. **Emotional release** → letting go of emotional blockages you've been carrying without even realising it. 4. **A deeper connection to your own body** → something most of us have lost in our stimulus-overloaded world. **Structure:** * Short check-in (5 min) * Technical breathwork instructions (5 min) * Guided breathwork session with music (35–40 min) * Integration & brief sharing (10 min) * Anonymous feedback form (2 min) **What you need:** * A quiet space where you can lie down undisturbed * A mat, blanket, couch or bed * Headphones (for the music) * A stable internet connection * Camera on (for your safety, so I can see how you're doing) * Food: Please don't participate on a full stomach. Your last larger meal should be at least 2 hours ago. A light snack is fine. **Who it's for:** * Men in the DACH region and internationally * German- and English-speaking * No prior experience needed * Ideal as an introduction or as a regular practice **Note:** Breathwork is an intense physical experience. Not suitable for those with epilepsy, severe asthma, cardiovascular conditions, or acute mental health crises. **Before participating, you must complete the following forms:** * Intake form (one-time): [https://forms.gle/5cAByqhgg91LnNBQ7](https://forms.gle/5cAByqhgg91LnNBQ7) * Waiver & Release (one-time): [https://forms.gle/5YTEJWygr3eP5MYs8](https://forms.gle/5YTEJWygr3eP5MYs8) Afterwards, I'll send you the Zoom link for the session via email and here via Meetup private message. **Participants:** 4-5 **Contribution:** Filling out the short feedback form after the session: [https://forms.gle/LFWLS5i9v24ce9536](https://forms.gle/LFWLS5i9v24ce9536)

**Move Capital. Move Talent. Move Africa.** Africa is the youngest continent on earth. By 2050, 1 in 5 people globally will be African. Yet African startups still receive less than 1% of global VC funding. What is the real problem? Is it time to tap into the estimated $95–100 billion USD in remittances sent by the diaspora? This Africa Day, in partnership with the Westerwelle Foundation, which has just published The German–Africa Investment Report, we will go deep into the gaps to explore : 📈 How Africa’s startup ecosystem is growing 🌍 Which New markets are rising, and how to pay attention to them 💡 Which segments pose the greatest returns outside of FinTech 🤝 How to take the best next step as an investor, proven by research. The event welcomes: Founders, Investors, Operators, the diaspora, and Institutional partners looking to make their moves into the African Market with intention. To our network members and partners who have been looking to make the move from remittances → to investment, from fragmented effort → to ecosystem building. This event is for you. Culminating from this event will be our delegation trip to #Nigeria and #Ghana in September in Collaboration with GITEX Nigeria and South Africa, and Namibia in November. Move Africa. #AfricaDay #AfricaRising #AfricanDiaspora #InvestInAfrica #AfricanInnovation #investment #funding # VC #Angelinvesting #African Excellence #Excellence #Leadership #FutureOfAfricaEvening Programme **SCHEDULE** 18:30 Arrival Networking reception Guests arrive. No job titles on badges — just names and country of origin. The room begins to know itself before the panel starts. 19:00 Opening Welcome & the diagnosis — 10 mins The host frames the evening in plain language. Not a speech — a provocation. Four sentences stating the diagnosis. Then the panel takes the stage. 19:10 Panel · 50 mins The conversation — moderated, flowing, unscripted Four panellists. One moderator. The conversation moves through the diagnosis naturally — from the wealth gap, to the talent drain, to the trust deficit, to the intention trap. No fixed questions. The moderator's job is to keep the room honest and the conversation moving toward one inevitable question: so what do we do about it tonight? 20:00 Panel · Open floor The room joins the conversation — 20 mins Not a Q&A. The moderator selects three or four people in the room — pre-identified — to add their perspective. Brief, pointed contributions that deepen the diagnosis rather than repeat it. The panel responds. The room feels heard. 20:20 Break Drinks — 20 mins The panel comes off stage and into the room. Guests speak directly with panellists. The conversation continues informally — which means it deepens.

Music: Chill Out · Afro House, Nu Jazz Strict Dress Code: Business Attire, Cocktail What CBC Stands For Our Code of Conduct We live in a time where attention is declining, trust is eroding, and success is often pursued at the expense of integrity. CBC exists to demonstrate the opposite. CBC is a space where business and ethics belong together — proving that success is possible without sacrificing humanity or values. Our Core Principles Honesty Reliability Respect Tolerance and global-mindedness Zero discrimination (no racism, sexism, or exclusion of any kind) Professional conduct and adherence to business standards Integrity in dealing with contacts and leads Responsibility toward the community Openness to new business trends such as Influencing & AI We are global citizens and commit to living these principles consistently — without moralizing, but with clarity. Important Rules The event is for connection and VibXchange. You may of course introduce yourself and explain what you do. Religion, politics and sexual topics are not discussed at CBC after-work events. Inviting members of the CBC network into competing networks is considered unethical and will result in immediate exclusion from the club & the community. Why We Ask You to Bring the Right People CBC should grow — with the right energy and the right individuals. You contribute by inviting people who: share our values think entrepreneurially are open to meaningful exchange like to have fun Every recommendation strengthens the community. Every new person expands our collective potential. Our Commitment to You We work day and night to build CBC: marketing, partnerships, events, standards, branding and structure. We invest time, resources and reputation because we deeply believe in this concept. I personally stand behind CBC with my name and 25 years of international experience in the Travel, Yacht, Real Estate and Cybersecurity industries. My goal is to create an international space where trust, fun, values and business opportunities come together in a warm non suppressed environment.

🚀 **From Idea to First 10 Customers — Part 2** ​The journey doesn’t stop after building the idea. The real challenge begins when you need people to actually use — and pay for — what you created. ​After the great response to our first session, we’re bringing back Part 2 with deeper discussions, practical insights, and real founder experiences focused on getting traction in the early stages. ​This session is designed for founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, freelancers, and anyone interested in understanding how startups move from an idea to their first real users and customers. ​No unrealistic “growth hacks.” No theory overload. Just practical conversations around early-stage growth, validation, customer acquisition, and building momentum. *** # ​💡 What We’ll Discuss ​• How to get your first users • Finding early adopters • Mistakes founders make in the beginning • Why validation matters more than perfection • Building trust before scaling • Realistic approaches to early customer acquisition • Lessons from startup experiences *** # ​🎯 Why Join ​Because getting your first customers is often harder than building the product itself. ​This session will help you better understand: ✔ how people discover products ✔ why some ideas gain traction and others don’t ✔ what founders should focus on in the early stages *** # ​📅 Event Details ​📅 **May 30, 2026** ⏰ **13:00 – 15:30** 📍 **The Social Hub** ​See you there!

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. She runs Visibility is Profitability, the membership where local business owners build the system that keeps their phone ringing. Learn more at learnlocalmarketing.com.
