1. Think Tanks: Big Ideas in a Small Group
Every Monday at 6pm CST  |  Every Thursday at 2pm CST

Our virtual Think Tanks bring business owners together in an open, solution-focused environment. Expect real conversations, smart insights, and fresh ideas. Whether you need a spark or a strategy, you’ll find it here. And we’re always ready to hear success stories; please share whenever you have one. Many of us in the group have been meeting for 4-5 years, know each other’s personalities, and consider everyone friends. If you’ve never tried a Zoom networking event, this is a perfect opportunity to try your hand at one. If you have any questions along the way, we are so ready to help.

Every time I hop into a Think Tank session, I’m reminded why I regret not attending every single one. It’s not just networking – It’s the kind of space where conversations zigzag from AI to parenting, from how we manage productivity to how we manage life, and sometimes even deeper into philosophy and purpose. The range is wild, and the value? Even wilder. I always walk in with one idea in my head and leave with a multidimensional takeaway I didn’t see coming. What makes it so special? The people:

 

Tracy Champagne created this space with intention—it shows in how welcoming, insightful, and energizing it is.
Bill S. brings unmatched warmth and sharp energy to every conversation.
Jamarri J. dives into automation like a professor – always teaching, always leveling us up.
Al T. shares hard-earned business wisdom with real-world clarity – he’s been there.
John A. has this low-key humor and chill perspective that grounds us and lightens the vibe in the best way.

 

I’ve met people from all walks of life and business here. It’s also the kind of space you can come to on a rough day – just to talk, get inspired, or bounce ideas off people who get it. This community has given me more than business insights – it’s given me perspective, connections, and reminders of why I do what I do.

2. Family Fun Nights: Because Building Community Should Be Fun, Too! First Wednesday at 6pm  

Networking doesn’t have to mean stiff suits and awkward conversations. Our Family Fun Nights are relaxed, playful gatherings where local entrepreneurs can connect while enjoying games, snacks, and good company—with or without the kids!

Held the first Wednesday of every month at The Celebrations Center in Brookfield, these events are all about building community, making real connections, and having a little fun along the way. Whether you’re a small business owner, creative, or just curious, you’re welcome here.
