If you're like me, you spend WAYYYY too much time in front of a computer. I think it would be great to have a monthly get together at a bar or pub to just get to know each other, have a brew, and yes, talk about the business. Real human interaction, in other words. Repeats the last Tuesday of every month.

Starting September 24th we will be changing venues to Romtoms, on the east side of the bridge at Burnside and 6th St. We hope there will be more room and it will be easier to find the rest of us. We look forward to seeing everyone.

If you can't find us inside look for us out in the back we may be enjoying the sunshine and the beautiful open patio.

Entrepreneurship is a path filled with purpose, innovation, and growth—but also with unique challenges that can wear down even the most passionate founders. The constant demands, isolation, and pressure to succeed can build up, creating chronic stress that, if left unchecked, leads to burnout.

In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn to recognize and address the subtle triggers of stress before they accumulate, explore methods to manage self-doubt and fear of failure, and identify practical ways to maintain balance and clarity. Through a combination of real-world insights and a unique framework for resilience, we’ll cover:

• Recognizing early signs of stress that may lead to burnout
• Managing uncertainty and finding your center amidst rapid change
• Working with fears, imposter syndrome, and moments of self-doubt
• Tools to stay grounded, even when resources feel scarce
• Realigning with purpose and creating sustainable work-life boundaries

Whether you're in the early stages or scaling up, this workshop offers valuable strategies to navigate the entrepreneurial journey without sacrificing well-being, integrity, or personal growth. Join us to learn how you can lead yourself and your venture with resilience and authenticity.
