Hey Syndicate Fam, hope you are ready for a most excellent week ahead. Here's a few things I thought I would recap from last week and what's coming up. First I hope you all had a fantastic Easter/Passover weekend. I enjoyed with some extended family and a trip to the movies. Today we are having a Gratitude Success Chat at 3pm US Eastern Time, where we will just catch up and be thankful for the friends and colleagues we made here in the Syndicate. Be sure to bring any wins you have had and any questions or requests for upcoming or future projects to the group. If you missed @Pk Kulasegram talk last Thursday on "What If Things Go Wrong," they gave an excellent presentation and it is available for re-watch under the "Discussion" tab. https://www.skool.com/successsyndicate/success-chat-replay-with-pk-getting-things-wrong Congratulations to member @Richard Jones for returning and hosting the second season of the Bear World Podcast. If you haven't checked it out, his interview with Ravi Roth, be sure to check it out. https://bearworldmag.com/podcast/ If you haven't checked out @Aidan McClain revamp of his "Hollywood Rebound" website, it really was done so great and looks professional, artistic and I really love the articles and interviews he does. https://www.hollywoodrebound.com/ I am thinking about doing a new podcast. It would be a "Re-watch" style, that is pretty popular right now and I want to use my "Gay of a Certain Age" status to review movies from the 70's, 80's 90's and 200's that some of our younger gays, may not be aware of. I also wanted to include some "straight films" that may have lead to a gay awakening, lol. My first thoughts are "Beautiful Thing," a UK classic and "Newsies" because guys singing and dancing..um ya! I would LOVE to have some recommendations from you what movies I should put on my list. I would really appreciate it.

Good Morning Syndicate Fam! I hope you all had a great weekend. I took a wonderful drive to Lake Erie yesterday, so I came back too late to get out the usual Sunday newsletter. We are heading into April already and I will be concentrating on the next couple of months on getting ready for Pride Month in June. We know that Pride is year-round with celebrations just about every month, but June is the most widely recognized. We have 9 weeks to show up authentically and supporting for our community. To that end, I will be leading today's Monday Success Chat, LIVE at 3pm US Eastern Time and the topic will be "Getting Your Business Ready For Pride Month WITHOUT Being Performative." I hope you can join in and share what you or your company is doing for Pride this year, if anything different than what you do all-year-round. Just click the link above or on the Calendar. As always we will record for replay. On Thursday's Success Chat, LIVE at 10am US Eastern Time, our own @Pk Kulasegram will be leading the discussion from the UK on "When Things Go Wrong, (And They Will), How to Learn and Recover." I am looking forward to a great chat from Pk. If you want to lead a Success Chat in April, DM me with your topic and we will get you on the books. A Big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to @Art Smith who celebrated his over the weekend and attending Pride down in Florida. He also hit a huge new milestone for his Gay Barchives Facebook Group, passing 35k members. If you have not gotten your birthdays in to me yet, please do so we can be sure to give you a shout out and wish you a most excellent new trip around the sun. Coming This Month for the Syndicate... Our Merch Store will be going LIVE, with members being able to buy items just above cost and if you could share on your social, we can use the proceeds to pay for the monthly upkeep of this site and prizes for upcoming contests. Also I will finish-up collecting recipes to put in our Success Syndicate Cook-book and we will get it ready to publish and vote on our first Non-Profit to donate the funds to.

I am super excited to be part of a community full of LGBTQ+ people who are as ambitious as I am (or more). I started my own counseling practice in 2020. I specialize with LGBTQ+ people and allies. It has often been a lonely road for me. For the first time, I can now say that I belong to a community of LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs and bad asses 😃. I am excited to get to know everyone. Please let me know how I can support you. 🌈

It's Friday Syndicate Fam, hope you all had a great week. Please join me in welcoming our newest member @Stephan Galdau, restauranteur in Las Vegas, to the group.

Thank you so much to @Richard Jones for leading our discussion yesterday on advertising strategies, that turned into a fantastic panel discussion with myself, @Shanti Gold and @Aidan McClain. The replay is below and it's a good chat that you may learn a thing or three out of for your business or entrepreneur life. Thursday at 10am, @Danielle Morris will be leading as we talk about a very important topic in your business, good pricing strategies for your products or services. Danielle has the experience in business to really bring some great insights into this conversation. Cya Thursday!
