I've been talking about this for a while. Now it's time to make it happen. 📍 September 22 — North Jersey 💻 September 29 — Virtual Registration is officially OPEN. But I want you to understand the vision behind Connection Meetups. I've been to plenty of networking events where you walk into a room, introduce yourself to 20 people, collect some business cards, go home... …and never speak to those people again. That's NOT what we're doing. Connection Meetups are being built around one simple belief: The opportunity isn't in meeting more people. It's in what happens AFTER you meet them. We're going to have REAL conversations. We're going to learn what people are working on, what they need help with, and who we might be able to connect them with. And most importantly... We're going to FOLLOW UP. My goal is for everyone to leave with at least 3 meaningful new connections and choose 1 person to follow up with immediately. No pitching everyone in the room. No collecting contacts just to grow a list. No walking away wondering, “Well… now what?” 🤝 Meet someone. 💬 Have a real conversation. 🔗 Find the connection. 📲 Follow up. 🚀 See where the relationship goes. Because one conversation can lead to a referral, collaboration, friendship, client, podcast guest, business opportunity—or something you never expected. That's the vision behind Connection Meetups. And we're starting this September. 🔥 Sept. 22 — North Jersey 🔥 Sept. 29 — Virtual Want to be part of the FIRST Connection Meetups? 👇 Registration is now OPEN. Comment “CONNECT” below and I'll send you the registration details. Stop collecting contacts. Start creating connections.

Hi, I'm James from China. I'm very glad to join to this Group. I want to meet many good friends in this group and learn more. Best Regards.

After much thought, @Brian Rushalski & I have decided to step down from our roles as NJ IRL mayors. We're incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve this community & host IRL events. The friendships we've built, the connections we've made, & the experiences we've shared have been truly so freakin' special. Thank you to EVERYONE who has attended an event & helped make this community what it is today. This decision comes solely from us wanting to focus our time & energy on growing our tax firm full-time. That being said, we're NOT going anywhere! We absolutely plan to attend future NJ IRL events & remain members of the community ✨ Thank you ALL for your support & we can't wait to see you at future events!!! Brian & Sam 🤍 P.S. - If you're interested in applying or becoming the next NJ IRL mayor, please reach out to @Rositsa Aleksandrova

I will be running a free event tomorrow - not sure this fits in here - but I know some of you are running ads and some of you like to meet face to face. So why not? If this breaches some guidelines, please delete this post or tell me to go f myself. That's all cool. :) So if you like, join my event tomorrow in NYC (kinda extended NJ). https://luma.com/zfqcpib5 One attendee will win our $2k Ad Account Audit for FREE!
