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.
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,
Ben
