Good Thursday Morning Syndicate Fam. I'm sorry to say that @Lisa Ronquillo who was going to lead tomorrow's Success Chat on AI and ethics in the field, has had a personal emergency. Sadly her dad passed away yesterday after a valiant struggle these past months. It also turns out that I have to go to Cleveland tomorrow for a client meeting I wasn't expecting. Due to that, I am going to Cancel tomorrow's Coffee Chat, but I would really like to see a big turnout next month where we will be doing Pride Chats every Thursday at 10am Eastern Time. I hope you are all enjoying a short week...S

Hello team LGBTQ Success Syndicate - I wish each of you a weekend and may this upcoming Pride season, as applicable in your region (Portland for example, is really July) be one of expansion for all. Peace and Love Danielle

Hi team, I've put together a public resource I'd love your eyes on before it goes wide. "Beyond the Binary" is a three-page public safety handout designed for our communities — LGBTQ+ individuals, allies, advocates, and anyone who needs clear, factual guidance right now. It addresses the federal government's increasingly aggressive use of counterterrorism language against LGBTQ+ and especially transgender people, and translates that into practical, actionable information people can actually use. It covers: • What the government documents actually say — and what the facts show • How the language of "extremism" and "terrorism" is being deployed, and why it matters • Concrete steps to protect yourself digitally, legally, and civically • Know Your Rights guidance if you are ever questioned • Key organizations and resources I'm seeking your feedback before I share it broadly — across community platforms, organizational networks, my Substack, and LinkedIn. The goal is for this to be genuinely useful and shareable: something people forward, post, and print. The PDF is attached. Please take a look and send me your thoughts — edits, additions, anything that doesn't land right, or communities or resources you think are missing. Thank you for everything you do. Danielle

Good Tuesday Morning Syndicate Fam! I hope those in the US had a nice 3-day Memorial Day Weekend. It was rainy for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning here in NE Ohio, but around noon on Monday, the blue sky's opened up and the temp got to a wonderful 75 degrees for a great finish to the holiday. Let's give a big welcome to our 2 newest members... @Elijah Aguero is in Colorado, and is the Founder of Hero XP, a Full Time Parent, a business researcher, and likes games, and working out! @Dawson Ashwood is located in UK, who creates Social Media Guides. His guides provide support to small businesses and their social media accounts and they are virtual guides. He loves coffee, food and gaming. Welcome guys and please take a moment to introduce yourself in a post. Have you created a “Why Now?” Moment? One of the fastest ways to make your marketing stronger is to give people a reason to act today, not “someday.” Many business owners explain what they offer, who it helps, and why it matters, but they forget to answer the silent question every customer is asking: “Why should I do this now?” Your job is not to pressure people. Your job is to create clarity. Try adding a timely reason to your next post, email, offer, or sales conversation: - “Before Pride Month gets busy…” - “Before the next quarter starts…” - “Before you spend more money on the wrong strategy…” - “Before your schedule fills up…” - “Before another week goes by without being visible…” Your action step: Take one offer and add a clear “why now” sentence to your marketing. Example: “Book your brand audit this week so you can fix the gaps before your next big promotion.” People move when the next step feels useful, timely, and doable. That is how we build More Pride. More Profit. More Power.
