Who it's for

Business owners and business leaders

No membership needed to attend.

Dates follow the regular schedule. Holidays and changes are posted on Eventbrite, so check there before you go.

What to expect

Every BUILD room runs the same way.

You are not there to hear a speaker. You are there to hear the room, and for the room to hear you.

First

Around the table

  1. Your name
  2. The business you own
  3. The main thing you sell
  4. What you are looking for today
Then

One real question

One question goes in the middle of the table, like “If you disappeared for thirty days, what would break first?” Then the room hears from the owners who have already solved it.

Last

The nugget round

Everyone speaks before anyone leaves: one thing you will try, or one thing you can help with. The facilitator sends those introductions within a day.

Why owners come back

Nobody builds it alone.

Most business owners spend the week alone in their own head. Not with a spouse, not with an employee, not with a vendor. A BUILD room is a table of people who have been there.

BUILD exists to help business owners grow stronger businesses and stronger leaders through community, accountability, education, and strategic relationships.

  • Peers who run businesses, not a sales pitch
  • One honest question instead of a lecture
  • Every person gets heard, every time
  • Real introductions sent after the room
  • Same day and time every month, so it fits your calendar

Questions

Before your first visit

Who can come?

Business owners and business leaders. You do not need to be a member, and you do not need to be invited. RSVP on Eventbrite so the room knows to expect you.

What happens at the table?

Everyone introduces themselves with four quick answers: name, business, what you sell, and what you are looking for today. Then one real question goes in the middle of the table and the owners work it out together. It ends with a nugget round where everyone shares one takeaway or one offer to help.

Can I bring someone?

Yes, please do. Every room asks members to bring another owner next time. The room works better when it grows.

What does it cost?

Each room is listed on Eventbrite, and the current ticket details are shown there.
