This week, Thursday November 17, 2016, at Entrepreneur Social Club, we met at one of our favorite spots, Souzou Asian Fusion Restaurant, and it was perfection per usual!
Mixed in with the fun group of our regular attendees were some intriguing new faces, and we sure enjoyed getting to know them. David Esposito from Gold Lens Media joined us with his lovely wife, Chelsea (who just so happens to be a technical “mistress” by trade, but that’s another story). David was excited to know more about the ins and outs of brand development. He reached out for recommendations for outsourcing marketing and design, and our members were quick to provide a multitude of avenues for David to choose from. Oh, and by the way, who am I? I’m Audrey Jennifer, artist, yoga instructor, ESC and DTSP promoter, plus Hostess and Photographer for ESC! Yup, I’m one busy busy lady!

We also had James, a current coastguard and navy service member, joining our group tonight. He’s looking to make new friends in the area, as well as to get connected within the realms of his multitude of interests and talents. Well, James, you certainly came to the right place! Back again is our pal, Mr. Super Helpful, Jeff Sassano (below, right) founder of Anytime Concierge. Jeff!
James’ interests and skills ranged from music to photography to promotions and it didn’t take long for him to meet somebody within the group who he could relate to in each and every one of those areas. We happened to have our photographer, David, sitting right next to me, as well as my musically-connected entertainer friend, Sheldon. Check out SheldonBlake.Com. Talk about positive and entertaining, WOW! In just moments, emails were exchanged and James was connected with each of these folks. Success at Entrepreneur Social Club, once again!
Perhaps our most entertaining part of the evening was when, not surprisingly, our new attendee and entertainer by trade, Sheldon, volunteered himself as a guinea pig for our beloved seasoned entrepreneur and birthday girl, Julia from Fruityz Organic Beauty. Happy Birthday Julia! She had no hesitations in jumping at the chance to promote her product right in the middle of the restaurant (as any good entrepreneur should!) and it gave everyone around a good laugh. As Sheldon sat with organic green goop on his face and allowed it to dry, we carried on with our meeting.
At the end of the night, our group was sufficiently satisfied with entertainment, laughs, connections, motivating and informative discussions, and great networking and growth opportunities. Given the fact that this was the group’s last meeting until after Thanksgiving, it’s probably safe to say that we ended it on the right note and with plenty to be thankful for!
