???Support Local Businesses!??? As we navigate through these challenging times, let’s come together to uplift our community. ?? Whether it’s your favorite coffee shop, a boutique store, or a family-owned restaurant, small businesses play a vital role in our neighborhoods. Here are a few ways you can show your support: Shop Local: Instead of hitting the big chains, explore the unique offerings of local businesses. From handmade crafts to specialty foods, you’ll find treasures you won’t discover anywhere else. Spread the Word: Share your positive experiences! Did you have an amazing meal at a local eatery? Found the perfect gift at a boutique? Let your friends know by tagging the business and leaving a review. Attend Events: Keep an eye out for local events, markets, and pop-ups. These gatherings are not only fun but also a great way to connect with local entrepreneurs. Collaborate: Small businesses thrive when they collaborate. If you’re a business owner yourself, consider partnering with others for joint promotions or events. Remember, every purchase you make from a local business directly impacts someone’s livelihood. Let’s celebrate the heart and soul of our community! ?????

? Wow, our Cinq à Sept event was a memorable one, thanks to all of you. ? Unlike traditional networking events, we focused on building genuine relationships and leaned into the power of curiosity. We're sharing three key takeaways from the conversation between Sydney Kirkland and Neha Kohli: 1?? Be Yourself: Genuine connections happen when you’re true to yourself. Find like-minded people and let authenticity lead the way. 2?? Actively Listen: Focus on what the other person is saying instead of planning your next reply. This keeps the conversation flowing and helps ease nerves. 3?? Have a Goal: Aim to build one meaningful connection. Remember their hobbies, passions, and recent projects. Deeper connections are more valuable than superficial ones. We are grateful to our sponsors for making this night possible: The Trade Desk, Zenith, Teads, Native Touch, Intuit, Adobe, and our newest sponsor: Seedtag. ?Know someone who would love to be part of the?Superclub?community?

Reminder: Business relationships can be fun! What common interests do you have? What community event can you invite someone and/or their family to? Even when it comes down to celebrating the 4th of July, having a SuperBowl party or even an event for your kids, think of which business connections come to mind for inviting. If you think they’re a good fit, invite them. This can open up whole new levels to the relationship. #buildingrelationships #conversations #communication
