Put the laptop down. Let's actually meet. In Person.
Real conversations, real coffee (and cake!), and real founders. Twice a month, somewhere near you….
What nobody tells you is that building a business online is brilliant right up until the moment you realise you haven't had a proper face-to-face conversation with another founder in three months.
That’s why I host regular in-person meetups.
I'm a child of the 80s. I believe in pen and paper, face-to-face conversations, and the kind of deep connection that doesn't happen through a screen.
So twice a month I make a coffee shop my office, and I'd love you to drop in to join me.
Come for the conversation. Stay for the coffee. Leave with clarity.
Meetups that move you forward
It's not networking, or a workshop, or a mastermind with a cool title.
It's a meetup for founders who are stuck on something real. Bring your question, and we'll work through it together. Sometimes that looks like coaching, or problem-solving, or saying the thing out loud to someone who gets it, which turns out to be exactly what you needed.
No booking needed (and certainly no name badges with your job title on. Nobody needs that energy._
Drop in for 20 minutes or stay the whole three hours. It’s totally up to you.
When: Twice a month, 10am-1pm
Where: Rotating across Essex, Suffolk, and London—all listed below
Cost: Free. Buy your own coffee (and support a small business!).
RSVP: Not needed. Just show up.
Getting offline takes effort.. but it’s worth it.
We spend so much time building our businesses online that we forget what it feels like to actually be in a room with people who get it.
Getting off the sofa and into a coffee shop is harder than opening another browser tab. I know. Working in your PJs is very comfy. But the best ideas, breakthroughs, and moments of clarity in 25 years of building businesses haven't happened on Zoom. They've happened over a coffee, face-to-face, with the right person at the right time.
These meetups are worth leaving the house for. Promise. Who knows what you could achieve after one? You do you want to find out?

Nope. Just show up. The more the merrier, although if it's just you and me, that works too.
-
You probably need the 3-month coaching intensive. Book an Onwards and Upwards call and we'll figure out if that's right for you.
-
Bring your laptop, your notebook, and yourself. Questions have a way of appearing once you're actually in the room.
-
Locations rotate across Essex, Suffolk, and London. If none of those work, please keep an eye on the schedule, it may expand. Also Join The Founders Club, tell me where you are, and I'll see what I can do.
People need people
We built our businesses online and it's brilliant, right up until the moment you're craving a real conversation with someone who actually gets it.
This is what these meetups are all about. Twice a month, in a coffee shop, with founders who build differently and unconventionally.
Pull on those stretchy jeans and put your slippers away. It's time to leave the house and find founders who understand what it's like, and can help you get to where you want to go.
