Its what I call the BAM Method. Bam: Brick And Mortar It's mixing in-person (bricks 🧱) events and online events (mortar). In-person events are a cheat code for starting, growing & deepening relationships Online events are a cheat code for sustaining relationships over distance & time. I have the in person events direct traffic to the online events and then the online events direct traffic to the in person events. Doing this over time will build super fans. The more you grow the more they will cheer for you. I went to an event that had the demographic of my community members, and I simply invited the ones I thought were a good fit. I did this with my company Grypmat back in the day when I started, and I hit 7 figures in two years. @Shawn Ziem just started this process now, excited to see him grow🌱💪 If you look at what @Goose Dunlavey is doing with the bus going across the USA, this is a perfect setup. Everyone who sees the bus in person will continue the journey online, and anyone who has seen the bus online will be excited to see it in person. Let me know your thoughts. I would be happy to share any BAM strategies if you guys have any questions.

This is why I always tell people... One conversation can change everything. I hopped on what was supposed to be a simple connection call with @Tom Burden. The conversation was flowing so well that he stopped and said, "Why don't we hit record? We can't let this gold go to waste." So we did. We wrapped up one episode... kept talking... and a few minutes later I said, "We need to capture this too." I fired up another StreamYard, sent him the link, and we recorded a second episode. The coolest part? 👉 We had never met an hour earlier. It all started with a conversation inside a community. He checked out my profile, saw who I help, and the conversation continued naturally. He originally scheduled a connection call for tomorrow, but my calendar was full. Rather than waiting, I reached out and asked if he wanted to jump on today instead. Action creates opportunities. Tom has even been on Shark Tank, and both conversations were packed with value. My takeaway: Too many people are waiting for opportunities. The people winning are creating them. 1. Start the conversation. 2. Follow up. 3. Take initiative. 4. Don't wait for the "perfect" moment. 5. When momentum shows up... lean into it. That's how relationships, collaborations, referrals, and even business partnerships are created. This is exactly why communities like Evolve Now Social are so powerful. Every comment, every DM, and every connection could be the beginning of your next opportunity. If you're looking to become even more intentional with networking, content, and turning conversations into recurring income, that's exactly what I teach inside the Connection Creator Academy. We focus on helping teachers, 9-to-5ers, and entrepreneurs create opportunities through content, conversations, and community. What's the best opportunity that's ever come from a simple conversation?
