We hosted our first IRL event at Fabrik last night and brought Coaching Corner to life with real discussion around things like: ? Coaching B2C vs. B2B ? Sourcing new client leads ? The idea of focus and how to do it as a soloprenuer ? How close to *perfect* to get your website before sharing it with prospects Thanks to members and new friends who showed up to join us On The Couch!

This Wednesday in TriBeCa: join People Who Thrive, a networking event that makes it easy to meet new people and be part of a community of go-getters going after their goals, together. At every?People Who Thrive?event, a speaker talks for 10 minutes about a time in their life or their career when they asked for help, and receiving that help had a transformative impact.?Then, everyone has one minute to address the group and share their elevator pitch, an "ask" (something they need help with), and an "offer" (a way they can be of service to others).?When the floor is open for 1:1 conversations, it's easy to walk right up to someone you can help, someone who can help you, someone who is working on something inspiring, or someone who you might want to be friends with. This month's speaker is Jaclyn Pascocello. Jaclyn Pascocello is the founder of Fabrik, a community space/ "third space" where she's building an innovative solution to combat the loneliness epidemic and create more connection and belonging in our increasingly disconnected world and workplaces. A serial startup founder, Jaclyn has a proven track record of building and scaling startups, including her role as CEO of Heywear and COO of Spacious (acquired by WeWork). When: 6:30pm, Wednesday, 11/20 Where: Fabrik, 12-16 Vestry Street, 4th floor Register here: https://lu.ma/56gbzt2e

Building a coaching business can be a lonely endeavor. It's why I built Coaching Corner - a global community of coaches. And, it's why I feel so bullish on mutual growth, learning & development. Success is 10x harder alone. Tomorrow, I'm hosting our first local event for coaches in NYC. If you're building your coaching practice or know anyone that's doing so, I'd love to host you at Fabrik. https://lu.ma/c6lpyn01

This is sure to be a fantastic event for any of my community-minded connections in NYC!

Okay, wow. I didn’t expect Tuesday’s event to turn out as it did. Nearly 40 of us solopreneurs gathered to: ?Openly share our struggles and goals ?Learn strategies for growing our businesses on LinkedIn Here are the top 3 takeaways from The Growth Tribe event: ??. ?????? ?????? ???? ?????????????????????????? We introduce ourselves all the time — but are they making the impact we want? The key takeaway from Grace McCarrick's intros workshop was: ?Be concise. No one wants a long sales pitch or your life story — Instead: ?Be clear about who you help ?Be concise about what you do ?Be explicit about who you want to connect with ??. ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???? ?????????? ???????????????? ???????? Molly, Grace, and Eilish Too many to share, but here are a few highlights: ?Posting 3x/week brings as many leads as 5x/week (and more impressions) ?Write about work stories, hot takes, and case studies ?If a post flops, change the hook and re-share it later ?Don’t use automation tools or edit after posting (Btw, if you want more tips like this, I recommend following Molly Godfrey's LinkedIn) ??. ?????? ???????? ?????????????? ???? ???????? ???? ???????????????????? ???????????? All of us openly shared our intentions: ? We want to find others to work with ? We want to meet others in the same boat as us ? We want to connect with people in real life, beyond our screens ? We want to feel a sense of community after working alone all day (Special shoutout to The Growth Tribe members: Amela Suba?i?, Gabe Plesent, Meghan Hardy, Ronak Patel, Rose Choi Marques, Sarah Dunn, Sydney Borlabi ?) I’m feeling incredibly grateful to the superstars who helped me bring this event to life — Molly, Grace, Eilish, Fabrik, and Jamie. In the true spirit of The Growth Tribe, we came together to support each other, no strings attached. These moments remind me of why I started our community: Because nothing beats building relationships, sharing wisdom, and helping others grow ??

Entrepreneurship can be tough. And lonely. And just when you think you’ve got it all figured out... another plot twist comes along ?? I believe being a founder is a calling —a hard one. One that I wouldn’t trade though because it means that when you have those bright, meaningful moments, you savor them even more. Tuesday was one of those moments. Silvi Specter brought us together for a Q4 The Growth Tribe meetup. 35 of us from our Slack community gathered in person, and the energy was such a vibe. A huge thank you to Fabrik for hosting us in their beautiful third space (especially to the amazing Lea Palmieri). Silvi, Grace, Eilish and I led a lively panel on LinkedIn growth (dream topic! ?? ). We had honest thoughts, shared real insights, and even some fun debates—like Grace and Eilish's different takes on replying to all the comments ?? But what really stood out were our open conversations about the real founder journey—the highs and lows, the impact on mental health, the importance of community, and the courage it takes to ask for help. 3 days later writing this recap I’m still feeling uplifted and grateful for such a wonderful night and inspired by all the conversations I got to have. So as the Q4 whirlwind continues for us business owners…remember to find those bright spots and supportive spaces you can plug into - for me it’s definitely The Growth Tribe and my very cool founder friends ?? ?? What about you, how do you manage the ups & downs of running a business??
