I'm thinking our May IRL could be co-working at a local coworking space or a local cafe... I think I would do some type of speaking on a Skool topic, maybe tips and tricks, maybe how to do something specific to grow our businesses.... What you all think?

Ok, we are two weeks out from our first IRL event at the Detroit Institute of Arts... I'm looking to start getting an idea of how many people will be there so I can plan accordingly. Vote below.

I just added a virtual co-working to the calendar for Tuesdays from 12:00pm - 2:30 Totally optional but bring whatever you are working on and we can help each other where needed to grow our businesses. @Christopher LaManna @Thomas Wachowski @Ulises Rabeiro @Benjamin Reinhardt @Mike Ruscica @Yahya Kazi @Frederick Tyler @Devin Griffus @Leigh Ann Hello @Rositsa Aleksandrova @Veachel Hosch @Cindi Holland @Humphrey Blake Jr @Chad Noorman @Goose Dunlavey @Tony Loew @David Solar @Kody Miller @Ryan Brown @Brooks Whitmore @Dustin Jenkins @Georgiana D @Dr. Melissa Partaka @David Antone @Williams Smith @Christopher Chahin @Kelly Improvements

Extra Extra read all about it. In just 2.5 weeks we have our first IRL event here in Michigan. I'm very excited about it. I'll most likely be bringing my wife and daughter to the event as well. Feel free to invite others to the community and the event. Check out the calendar for details. By our next IRL I will have the rest of the year scheduled out for IRL events, dates and locations.

Your new HQ for connection, collaboration, and Motor City energy. It’s an honor to officially welcome you to the SKOOL IRL: Detroit community. This space is designed to be our collective launchpad, where relationships are formed, ideas get traction, and the unique spirit of Metro Detroit fuels everything we build together. I’m deeply invested in this region. Detroit isn’t just a dot on the map—it’s a case study in resilience, innovation, and reinvention. We’re sitting at the crossroads of legacy and future disruption: - A city that built the world through automotive manufacturing and now leads the charge in mobility, automation, and advanced tech. - A culture that never quits, grounded in blue-collar grit, entrepreneurial courage, and the kind of community loyalty you can’t fake. - A creative ecosystem that spans Motown, street art, architecture, design, and a sports culture that runs straight through the city’s bloodstream. - Metro Detroit—from the burbs to the riverfront... where the diversity of people, talent, and industry creates one of the most dynamic business and creator environments anywhere in the country. This community is here to bring that energy into one place. Here’s what this space is designed for: - Meaningful in-person connection with people who actually want to collaborate, not just collect contacts. - Local knowledge-sharing—business, tech, leadership, art, culture, and everything in between. - Events, workshops, and meetups that drive actual value, not just social noise. - A rising-tide ecosystem where creators, founders, builders, and professionals support each other’s missions. As we kick this off, drop an introduction below. Share who you are, what you’re building, and what part of Metro Detroit you call home. Let’s start mapping the network that will shape what SKOOL IRL: Detroit becomes. This city has a legacy of building things that matter. Now it’s our turn. Welcome to the community—let’s make something powerful together.
