Member testimonial:

Last night I was at a fundraiser for RiverRock Coffee & Tea. We did a lot of work for them over the winter, and they also need a new roof and have plans to keep growing.

It got me thinking about why so many of us do what we do. Yes, we all need to make a living, but the best businesses are built on relationships, trust, and genuinely caring about the people we serve.

That's one of the things I've noticed most about this networking group. It's not just a group of business owners looking for the next sale. It's a group of people who take pride in helping others. Whether you're selling insurance, fitting hearing aids, building homes, doing beauty services, walking dogs, or anything else, it's obvious that you care about your customers and the impact you have on their lives.

That mindset is what earns trust. It's what keeps customers coming back. It's what makes it easy to refer people within this group because I know they'll be treated well.

The support this group shows for local nonprofits and our community is just another example of the kind of people you all are. I'm grateful to be surrounded by people who understand that relationships come first, and great businesses are built because of them.

Happy Friday!
Jeremy Flitter

SPEED DATING at our UNCONVENTIONAL meeting 7/8/2026

Without scheduled presenters, leadership had an EXCITING idea for our meeting yesterday--let us tell you all about it.

It was the most dates, probably ANY of us have been on 🤣

We had 5 minutes within each date to

1. Talk about our own business and our goals for the year/what we are looking forward to.

2. Listen to our partner and their goals for their business/year.

3. Ask questions and figure out how we can help each other GROW!

Think - one-to-one but 5 in a row and high energy in the room!

We look forward to more meetings like this and hope you can join us for the next one!
