Good morning Syndicate Family. I need to start out with some very sad news, and I will keep this week’s newsletter short. Our Syndicate member, and my friend, @Jonathan Shuffield passed away in his sleep Saturday night. I am devastated by the news. I’m sure you felt his energy here in the Syndicate and believe me outside of it, as a personal friend, his energy was just as electric. Jonny was one of the most creative people I knew and it was an extreme honor to be his friend these past 5 years. We created podcasts together, traveled together, and created new projects together. His latest project, his indie sitcom he wrote, produced and starred in, I was honored to be a Producer for and a Mentor. Jonny’s talent will certainly be missed, but his heart and friendship to his family and the chosen family around him, will be missed the most. I will keep you updated if his family and friends need anything. After such great feedback from the survey and talking to member individually, I am excited for the content we are slowly moving toward here in the Syndicate. Our CORE VALUE PILLARS are; Sharing tried and true business methods with each other, Support through referrals, messaging and communication with each other, and having fun together. This past weeks 5 day Sprint to get our businesses ready for Pride Month in June was a great success. If you haven't looked it over, it's on the "Classroom" tab and the steps you need to make sure your business is ready for Pride. Our Thursday Morning Success Chats have been a successful way for members to add true value to the conversation, sharing their passion and innovation. Coming soon we will be talking about “AI and Ethics In The Workplace” “Influencer Marketing” “Mental Health in Business” and much more. If you can be there for the LIVE chat, it’s Thursday mornings at 10am Eastern Time, right here on the Syndicate’s video page. DM me if you would like to give a presentation sometime. We are definitely upping the fun here in the Syndicate. Be sure to check out and try to participate in our Virtual Pride Parade, that we are creating floats for this month. We also recently had a Success Syndicate Bingo that helped you do things to move your business forward, while winning prizes along the way, (congrats to @art ). I also shared a fun “Success Syndicate Trading Card” template that I have used in other parts of my business over the years. I hope you are finding value in being a member here and I look forward to more participation from you all in the future………..Scott

Last week, @Scott Fullerton mentioned a Syndicate Virtual Pride Parade. His suggestions inspired me to create my GayBarchives parade entry. Rather than a float, I chose to enter a car in the parade. Back in my Atlanta days I was known for driving my 1975 Caprice Classic convertible, which is the basis for this entry. It was white with a white interior and looked a lot like the picture. GayBarchives is boldly represented in the logo on the door as well as on a t-shirt and banner. I think Gemini AI did a good job representing us. Not too extravagant, but enough to get the word out. What does your Pride Parade float or car look like? #ilovegaybars #GayPride #celebrate
