A challenge with a free group is that it can get harder to police who joins and who shows up. And I want this room to be filled with the highest-value connectors and genuinely amazing people who are here to help each other. So here’s the update. Starting January 1, 2026, I’m adding a $9 monthly charge for all NEW group members. What does this mean? New members will get access to at least 3 networking events and workshops per month, the forum, and everything else for just $9 per month. This small barrier helps ensure the right people join, contribute, and keep the room high-trust and high-vibe. Now the big questions... 1) What’s happening to our long-running monthly public networking event on the 4th Tuesday? Absolutely nothing. We will still have one free, open-to-the-public event each month. I’ll continue to promote it with an event on LinkedIn just like I always have. 2) I am already in this group for free will I now be charged $9? NO! NO! NO! I’m grandfathering everyone in. If you’re reading this, you’re already part of the community as an active, long-time participant, and you will not be subjected to the $9 per month fee. I do reserve the right to deactivate an account at any time if someone is clearly not aligned with the spirit of this community. I’m confident that won’t be you. MOST IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ: One more fun thing.... This group remains completely free for anyone who joins before 2026. So you can give a friend the gift of this community for FREE this month. Just share WeAllGrowTogether.com and ask them to include your name in the intake form. If 10 new members join through your promo before year-end, you’ll be entered into an end-of-year raffle for a FULL YEAR of Inner Circle membership for free (PRICED AT $75 PER MONTH - Value is exponential). Share the gift of community. Help me protect the quality of the room. And win a free year in the Inner Circle while you’re at it. Thanks for being one of the good ones,
