Next Generation Networking

06/10/2026

THANK YOU for an incredible Monthly Meetup last week. We had such an amazing time, per usual. It is so cool to see how much this group has grown - and I don't mean in strictly attendance.

This group has grown deeper, before growing wider - meaning that after a few meetings, everybody has been able to really dig in, and build genuine, intentional relationships that help them grow both personally and professionally. 🌱

It is never ever too late to check out everything that Next Generation Networking has to offer - we LOVE getting to meet new people, and there is a great chance that you have something to bring to the table, that we do not already have! If you have any questions, please reach out to The Property Cousins, Ryan Morris, Faith Mechanical, or Logan Taylor,!

This group is free to the public, and always will be. Thanks to our wonderful sponsors, we are also able to provide dinner and drinks at no cost, as well! You seriously don't want to miss the next meetup - only 3 more weeks!📆

THANK YOU, Logan Taylor, Financial Services Professional with Nylife Securities LLC! We can all thank Logan for our wonderful brat burgers, mac and cheese, and beer and wine that we get to enjoy at tomorrow's Monthly Meetup! 🤩

Logan has been a part of NGN since the very beginning, as one of our ambassadors, but this month he stepped up and asked if he could sponsor our entire meeting - we sure do appreciate everything that Logan does for us!

If you haven't gotten the pleasure of meeting Logan, here is a little bit about him! Do yourself a favor, and introduce yourself to him tomorrow evening! 😁

Logan Taylor is a Financial Services Professional with New York Life who helps individuals, families, and business owners build strong financial foundations and long-term confidence. He simplifies complex topics so clients can make clear, informed decisions.

His approach is rooted in relationships, not transactions—focusing on personalized strategies that grow and adapt alongside each stage of life. From protecting loved ones to planning for retirement and building wealth, he works to make every plan practical and meaningful.

Logan is especially passionate about guiding people through major life moments like buying a home, getting married, having children, or changing careers—helping turn big transitions into opportunities for a stronger financial future.

Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with family and friends and being outdoors whenever he can. Whether it’s hiking, hunting, shooting, or just getting outside to recharge, he values staying active and connected to what matters most.

Yet again, our community has come together to help the hosts of NGN provide these incredible meetups for you all. These monthly events are thriving, and growing so quickly because of the amazing business owners who have come together to support our mission, and kept the ball rolling, full steam ahead. 😮‍💨

Next month our Monthly Meetup is going to be covered by three amazing businesses. ⬇️

Weinrich Construction LLC will be providing our meal, and all of the drinks for the evening! Please introduce yourself to Nick, and you will quickly see why Weinrich stands out in the construction industry. 🔨

Tex Rule Photography will be provididng our incredible photos for the evening. Tex has been photographing the last two meetings, so he is no stranger to NGN. He is helping us out tremendously this month, by sponsoring us with his own local photography business! Tex not only takes amazing photos, but he is a great guy. Take some time to remind him at the next event, he deserves to have fun too, and thank him for everything he does - and definitely consider him for your photography needs. 📸

Glo Event Co will be bringing the party with their new-age photo booths! In March, we were introduced to the Selfie Station, and in April we got to meet the Glo Roamer! We are looking forward to seeing what Misty has up her sleeve for May...one thing is for sure, it is going to be a blast!!! 🪩

THANK YOU to everybody who continues to show up, and make these events what they are.

If you ever have any feedback, questions, or ideas for the group, The Property Cousins (Chris Abling / Travis Greer II), Ryan Morris, Logan Taylor, Jon Faith, or Dani Faith would love to talk more with you! 😁

Be curious before you judge! What an incredible piece of advice for making genuine connections through networking. 🤔

I have met so many people since I started networking a few years back, who have brought value to my life in so many ways, that I never could have imagined.

A very wise mentor of mine recently advised a group of us to "not try and sell TO the room, but sell THROUGH the room," and that was such a great piece of advice when it comes to the way we want to approach networking. If you take the time to get to know somebody, build a genuine relationship with them, and show up for and support them - it only makes sense that they would want to utilize and refer out your business.

You will get so much farther, in business and in life, by focusing on what you can do for others, before ever focusing on what they can do for you. Be yourself and look out for others, and the rest will come naturally! 😁

April's Meetup was nothing but smiles! 😁

We did not expect to receive nearly the turnout that we have gotten from these events, and it is such a blessing to see everything that has come out of them so far!

We continue to see our friends from previous meetups, and be able to build deeper relationships, and then we get to meet so many new friends as well! 🥹

I met a new friend in April, who attended the meeting with her husband and son. She said that they read about the meetups in The Jefferson Review, and the photos looked like a ton of fun, so they decided to give it a shot! They were unsure, with it being the fourth event, if they were joining "too late" - and I wanted to make a point to say, everybody who shows up for these events is fun, friendly, and so welcoming. It doesn't matter if we end up on our 20th event, and you still haven't made it out - you are, and always will be, welcome!

The Monthly Meetup - May is coming up soon! It is just 2 short weeks away. Don't forget to invite a couple of friends who you would love to network with at May's meetup!😎
