**\-\-\-\-\-\-\-**
Product Managers are uniquely positioned to become founders. Years spent living in customer problems, making prioritisation calls under uncertainty, and shipping products across competing constraints is excellent preparation for building a company from scratch. The question remains which skills to activate first and which to actively develop before making the leap.
This event convenes a panel of Product Managers who have successfully made the transition into founding — and are building companies today. Drawing on first-hand experience, they will cover what most founder talks omit: the PM skills that translate into a genuine competitive advantage, the capability gaps that require deliberate development, and a grounded, month-by-month account of what the first year of building demands. The result is a practical, unvarnished briefing designed to help you make an informed decision about the leap — and, should you choose to make it, to make it well-prepared.

OPENING NIGHT: THE COACHING CLUB - coach and be coached in a creative space
**A one-off special to launch a new series of events 🎉**
**(Update:** We have now scheduled our regular events, you can find all the details and get tickets **[here](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/alltogether)**.)
Jude & Bonny are collaborating to bring coaching to **everyone**.
Why? **Full story on [Substack.](https://open.substack.com/pub/experimentsingroupwisdom/p/create-the-event-you-wish-existed)**
In brief, they believe:
* Coaching can be life enhancing, inspiring, creative, and fun
* Everyone can learn coaching skills
* Having the experience of both coaching and being coached is doubly valuable
* Peer-to-peer connections are special :-)
**At THE COACHING CLUB, we will:**
* Learn a new skill (drawing on Jude’s expertise and experience as a coach)
* See how it works in a short demo
* Practice in pairs
* Shuffle the pairs
* Reflect together
Jude and Bonny will guide the process, but you will also receive a tiny booklet for illustration (a Zine by [LESS STRESS PRESS](https://www.instagram.com/lessstresspress))
For this OPENING NIGHT SPECIAL we will share a method of discovering “life as a garden” 👀
**NOTES ON THE GENERAL ATMOSPHERE:**
Although we’ll be learning new skills we'll also be aiming to have an enjoyable evening, with good humour and fun. This will be less like school and more like a thoughtful and interactive evening in a pub.
**WHO SHOULD COME:**
Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the experience. This group is not about being experts, it is about thinking creatively together and learning new ways to create space for one another.
**WHERE WE’LL MEET:**
This event will be at the Earl of Lonsdale Pub on Portobello. The nearest Tube station is Notting Hill Gate.
(Future, smaller events will be in a different pub. You can find them [here](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/alltogether).)

Marketing Monday Networking
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.

Should a real estate investor get a real estate license? Sometimes it’s a massive advantage… and sometimes it can complicate your business if you don’t know what you’re walking into.
In this training, we’ll cut through the “agents vs investors” drama and focus on one thing: **what makes you more money and gives you more leverage**.
You’ll learn:
* **When being licensed helps investors win** (better access, better data, better terms, better deal flow)
* How investors use a license to **create extra profit centers** (commissions, referrals, listings, buyer rep, property management pathways)
* The truth about **MLS access, pocket listings, and being first to the good deals**
* How licensing impacts **wholesaling, double-closing, assignments, and disclosures**
* What brokerages don’t tell you: **fees, splits, compliance, and time requirements**
* When it’s smarter to **partner with an agent** instead of becoming one
* A simple decision framework: **licensed vs partnered vs hybrid model**
You’ll walk out knowing whether licensing fits your goals—and if it does, the cleanest path to do it without slowing down your investing.
