Just sharing a few photos from our last meet up! Let’s keep the good times rolling. @Steve Gast @Angel Conway @Oscar Setiawan @MJ Berst

This Sunday @MJ Berst with Everyday Rockstars is going to show us how to whip our finances in to shape 💰🔥 Talk: How to Rock Your Budget Revenue is exciting, but clarity is stabilizing. In this practical (and non-boring) 30-minute session, MJ Berst will break down the fundamentals of budgeting for working professionals, entrepreneurs and Skool community owners. She’ll cover how to build a simple personal budget, why separating business and personal finances is non-negotiable, and how to create a basic business budget that actually supports growth instead of stress. Perfect for professionals & entrepreneurs who want more control over their money, more confidence in their decisions, and fewer “why is my bank account doing that?” moments. This talk is part of our IRL this Sunday, 4-7pm in Downtown Chicago. The event is free but you must DM @Steve Gast to RSVP and get the address. See you there! https://www.skool.com/chicago/calendar?eid=b4c3f9a3948346dbb87dbfa331b0c049

What a night!! Great seeing @Kimberly Armatys, @Nina Kilbride Sheehan, @Krista Brea, @Ines Brookens, @MJ Berst and @Elizabeth Gast! Huge shout out to our Hostess with the Mostess @Demetra Lambros!! Dinner was spectacular, so excited for leftovers now 😍

Royalty Rugs is my dream. I create custom rugs for people and also teach kids how to make their own. I do private events too, like for birthdays, girls’ nights, or company retreats, where people can come and make their own rugs. Every rug is one-of-a-kind, and I want people to feel something special when they see it. It’s more than just making rugs—it’s about giving people an experience, teaching them something new, and creating art they can connect with. My goal is to grow this so more people, especially kids and families, can enjoy it and learn from it, and so my clients can get a personal piece of art made just for them.”

💥 2025 is almost in the books but we're just getting warmed up! ✅ In 2026 we'll be aiming to have official IRL with Presenters every month giving killer talks like the ones @Ryan Bakke, CPA and @Krista Brea gave (Part 2 of their videos coming this later this week). 📆 No official date yet but roughly mid-January and will feature a talk from Real Estate expert @Oscar Setiawan, owner of the killer (Soon to Be Officially Named) podcast studio. Did we mention he owns the whole building, complete with rental and air BnB units? The man knows his Real Estate 🔥 We're also going to be doing as many less formal fun hangouts as we can: ☃️ NEXT HANGOUT JANUARY 2nd, 8pm-10pm Ice Skating at Maggie Daly Park Reserve Your Spot Here 👋 After that we are looking for hosts to add events to the calendar. @Kenneth Richardson has already volunteered to host a rug making workshop and we can't wait! If you have ideas for events and are willing to help host them, comment below or send me a DM. 🎉 Happy New Year!! 🎉
