First off... Shoutout to everyone who came through to the ATX IRL #3... You are all LEGENDS!!! Second... Here's a video to remember it and for those who didn't attend to get MASSIVE FOMO so they come next time... P.S... @Blake Hollifield... It was crazy to see the competitive side come out in the Rock, Paper, Scissors World Championship... Congrats again on winning! 🏆 Shoutout to @Charles Guerra for keeping everyone's energy high during the competition lol And MASSIVE shoutout to @Ian Parr for the fastest turnaround time ever on this video lolol ++

Every Texas IRL reminds me why online communities work best when they are built on real connection first. Seeing people shake hands, sit down, laugh, ask questions, and actually listen to each other changes the energy completely. What stood out to me most was not tactics or numbers (although @Matthew Burns and @Jeff Lopez gave some great sauce). It was how open people were about where they got stuck and where they want to go. Yesterday was filled with real conversations with people who are building. The main takeaways that stuck with me were: - Community compounds faster when people feel safe to speak - Engagement is less about clever prompts and more about presence - Trust is built faster in rooms like this than anywhere online But the real value was watching new and old relationships form in real time. People connecting dots for each other, helping each other just for fun. That is the part you cannot fake online. If you have been on the fence about showing up in person, this is your sign. You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need to be willing to show up. Curious where everyone here is right now: Are you building, stuck, or just starting to believe this could actually work?

Hey guys & gals!! The ATX IRL #3 is a wrap and it twas a blast (yet again)... Shoutout to everyone who showed up.. You all are rockstars!!! Can't wait for the recap video from @Ian Parr... @Matthew Burns kicked things off by dropping some tips on how to use A.I. to increase traffic to our communities... 🔥🔥🔥 We did some awesome Mini-Pods again... @Charles Guerra had everyone HYPED!!! Oh... and to our NEW Rock, Paper, Scissors WORLD CHAMPION 🏆 - @Blake Hollifield.. I'll reach out tomorrow to coordinate the content day at PLUSPLUS® HQ! For those who showed up... What was your favorite part and/or biggest takeaway?

So, I have a bit of social anxiety - and it takes A LOT for me to get out and connect with new people... When I got home - I had to lay down for a few hours - cause, I was "tapped" out... Yall, thank you for making me feel so welcomed. I had been to the event in September - so I knew everyone would be great - but there was something different about today - it was even better. Thank you @Jeff Lopez @Charles Guerra @Michele McAlister @Diane McCracken @Juliana Opik @Blake Hollifield @Matthew Burns and everyone else... Looking forward to the next one.

Life changing as always!! Thanks @Kevin Gong for exploding my brain
