Little Storysmiths - An AI story making workshop for kids [Free workshop]
**Where Your Child’s Imagination Becomes a Real-Life Storybook!** *Note: this is a free event and joining is through approval. Please find the form at the bottom of the description.* Every child is a natural-born storyteller. At Little Storysmiths, we provide the canvas, the technology, and the guidance to turn those "Once upon a times" into **a professional, physical book your child can hold in their hands and keep forever.** This is a 3-hour creative adventure designed for kids aged 5 - 7. We use a blend of traditional storytelling, hands-on drawing, and cutting-edge Generative AI to help children express their wildest ideas. While the kids focus on the fun, we focus on the skills: **articulation, problem-solving, and creative confidence.** ### **📝 What to Expect: The Creative Journey** **1\. Dreaming Up the Story** \- Using frameworks used by world\-class studios like Pixar\, we guide your child through creating a hero\, a challenge\, and a triumphant ending\. Parents will act as "Master Scribes\," helping us capture these ideas in a simple digital form\. **2\. Bringing Characters to Life** \- Your child will describe their main character in vivid detail\. Your child will sketch their character to ground their imagination in reality\. **3\. The Magic of AI** \- We introduce the kids to "The Helpful Robot" \- a friendly AI that takes their verbal descriptions and sketches and helps turn them into stunning\, book\-quality illustrations\. The future of creativity\! **4\. The Grand Pitch** \- Every child gets their "Author Moment\." They will present their character and story to the group\, building vital communication skills and pride in their work\. ### **📚 The "Little Storysmiths" Keepsake** The workshop doesn’t end when you leave the room. * The Digital Preview: You will receive a PDF version of your child’s story shortly after the workshop. * The Physical Book: About a week later, you will receive a high-quality, printed storybook authored and directed by your child. It is a one-of-a-kind treasure for your bookshelf. ### **📚 Story reading party!** Join us in the story reading party where kids bring their physical, printed books and proudly read their stories to friends and family! Your friends are invited! ### **Workshop Details at a Glance** * Ages: 5 - 7 years old. * Tools Provided: All drawing materials, prompts, and AI software. * Takeaway: 1 x Digital Storybook, 1 x Physical Printed Book (printed later) * Story reading party: follow-up event where kids can read from their physical books to friends and family **\#\#\# Form to register \-** [https://berlinbusinessinstitute.com/little-storysmiths/](https://berlinbusinessinstitute.com/little-storysmiths/)

Productive Sunday Morning - Co-Working Session (Deep Work, all work welcome)
Productive Sunday Morning - Co-Working Session (Deep Work, all work welcome)
Hey everyone! I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-) ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro** * Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...* * ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) * ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. * Repeat * Conclude and celebrate your progress Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there đŸ©” **\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***

Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster
Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster
#### Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster #### **Featuring Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** **👉 Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** #### A lot of people get into real estate because they want freedom. Then they buy a rental
and realize most of the rent goes straight to the bank. They technically own property, but the mortgage controls the income. And waiting 30 years for properties to be paid off doesn’t feel realistic. This meetup is about understanding a different way to think about rental properties
 one that focuses on paying them off sooner so the income is actually usable. **Featured Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** We’re excited to welcome John Blackburn as our guest speaker for this event. John has been actively investing in real estate since 2006 and has: * Been involved in **5,000+ real estate transactions** * Helped investors **acquire over $150 million in rental property** * **Raised more than $100 million** in private capital John didn’t start with family money or shortcuts. He built his portfolio by focusing on clear systems, real numbers, and long-term strategy. For this meetup, John will walk through how investors shift their focus from simply owning rentals to building properties that eventually pay them
without a mortgage attached. **What You’ll Learn** John will break down, in simple terms: * Why most rental properties don’t produce much usable income early on * Why buying more rentals isn’t always the answer * How investors structure their properties to pay off mortgages in a fraction of the time * How properties can work together to eliminate debt faster * What changes once rentals become free and clear This approach is often referred to as an accelerated paydown strategy — using rental income intentionally to reduce debt sooner, rather than waiting decades for mortgages to run their course. John will also share a simple calculator you can use to see how this works with real numbers and realistic scenarios. **The Core Idea** When a rental has a mortgage, the rent has one job: **pay the bank.** When a rental is paid off, the rent has a different job: **pay you.** Most people only see one timeline
30 years. This session shows how investors shorten that timeline and gradually increase their income as properties become free and clear. **Who This Event Is For** This event is for people who want more than just “owning rentals” on paper. * Rental owners who are tired of most of the rent going to the bank and want a clearer path to real, usable income * New investors who want to understand how rental properties actually build wealth over time before jumping in * People with capital who want to invest in real estate with intention and a long-term plan * Anyone serious about freedom and curious how rental properties transition from debt-heavy assets into income-producing ones **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company - 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** January 25th, 6–8 PM (Doors open at 5:30) **Cost:** Free (Seats are limited - RSVP required) **👉 Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** If you’ve ever wondered how rental properties actually turn into freedom —this is the room to be in.
