Hoops are great. But getting some of the crew together off the court isn't too bad either.

Huge thanks to Dakota Slaughter and Bose McKinney & Evans LLP for having some of The Pickup Project Indy crew out to the Indianapolis Indians game last night.

This is what The Pickup Project is all about.

Relationships that start on the court and evolve well beyond it.

Appreciate you having us out, Dakota! 🤝🏀⚾

Not because you’re counting down to the weekend.

Because you’ve got a reason to show up.

A little competition.
A good workout.
New faces.
Conversations that continue long after the final game.

Start Friday with good energy. End the week even stronger.

See you Friday! 🏀

Sometimes, the best connections happen outside of your usual circle.

Jack put it perfectly.

You show up for basketball, but you might leave having met someone in a completely different industry, built a new friendship, or made a connection you wouldn’t have found in your everyday routine.

That’s what happens when you put good people from different backgrounds on the same court.

And sometimes, an hour of pickup can lead to something that lasts well beyond the final game. 🏀

Everyone has bad days.

You're tired.
You're distracted.
You're stressed from work.

But when you commit to competing every week, you learn to perform even when conditions aren't perfect.

You stop waiting until you "feel like it."

You show up anyway.

That mindset carries over into every area of life.

Successful people aren't consistent because they're always motivated.

They're consistent because they've trained themselves to act despite how they feel.

This Friday in St. Louis, you'll find a financial advisor, a business development director, and a process engineer.

Different careers. Different backgrounds. Same court.

Come meet them, get a run in, and make a few new connections along the way.

📍 Center St. Louis
🗓️ Friday | 6:30–7:30 AM (Doors open at 6:10 AM)

What industry are you in?

Finance? Tech? Healthcare? Engineering? Real estate?

We’re building a community of STL professionals who believe networking doesn’t always have to happen around a conference table.

Friday mornings hit different when you start the day with a good run. 🏀

For Peyton, The Pickup Project is more than getting a workout in, it’s a way to start Fridays with energy, stay productive at work, and build real connections across Dallas. And those connections don’t always end when the game does. 👀

From the court to industry events, the TPP community keeps showing up. 🤝

Come play. Come connect. See where it takes you.

Wondering what to expect when you pull up? 🏀

Every TPP run is built around good basketball, good energy, and meeting people who enjoy the game just as much as you do.

Attendance can look a little different from city to city, but the goal stays the same: competitive runs, a welcoming environment, and real connections off the court.

Technology has made communication easier than ever.

But communication and connection are not the same thing.

You can:

• Follow hundreds of people
• Join dozens of groups
• Message anyone instantly

And still feel alone.

Because community isn't built through access.

It's built through presence.

Real connection requires:

• Shared experiences
• Familiar faces
• Repeated interactions
• Physical environments

Things algorithms can't fully replicate.
