Ruelas at El Grito + How you can help!
As you saw from David’s post, El Grito was a huge success. I was grateful to be there with Ruelas Co., running a live monogram bar and personalizing leather bookmarks for attendees. This was an MVP for a new Ruelas offering: It was my first time bringing my embossing machine to an event, and I was really happy with how the pieces turned out. I’m excited to keep developing this for corporate events, ERGs, brand activations, and other communities. ***How you can help*** 1) If you attended El Grito and took photos or videos, I’d love to see them. Anything that captures the setup, the products, or the energy of the night would be incredibly helpful. Send them to: [email protected] 2) Once I have more content, I’ll share a post on LinkedIn. If you’re willing, a comment, repost, or share would help me get Ruelas in front of more companies and event teams. I’ll make a second post here on Skool with a link to the LinkedIn post once it’s done And if someone comes to mind who works in events, employee experiences, brand marketing, or an ERG, an introduction would mean even more. Thanks for supporting what I’m building!

Event support
Last minute ask! 🎥 Book signing tomorrow and I need someone to grab some video clips and a few photos. Short commitment, compensation available, details by DM. Know someone? Tag them! Know how to point a camera? Even better. Help a girl out! 😄

Connection
A quick reflection on connection. In the middle of busy lives and full calendars, it’s easy to disconnect—from ourselves, our communities, and the people who matter most. Yet connection helps us feel grounded, supported, and purposeful. It strengthens how we show up both personally and professionally—in our relationships, our leadership, our work, and our lives. Take a moment to ask yourself: Where could I use a little more connection right now? Your action: Reach out to one person today. A text, a call, a conversation—simply say “hello.” 😀 Who will you reconnect with?

Three months left to 2026!
There's a shift in the air, comunidad. The summer slowdown — the travel, the family time, the long weekends — is behind us. The kids are back in school, routines are back, and focus is back. Fall is founder season. There are ~90 days left in the year. That's three full sprints. That's enough time to launch the MVP, land the first paying customer, or finally ship the thing you've been "about to start" since June. But here's the real talk: building doesn't happen in a vacuum. Life keeps happening — school schedules, family obligations, health, the day job, all of it. The founders who win aren't the ones with perfect plans. They're the ones whose plans can bend without breaking. That's the heart of lean startup: small bets, fast cycles, adjust as you go. Your roadmap should have room for real life in it. So here's my challenge to you: What's the ONE thing you're committing to build before the end of the year? Drop it in the comments. Public commitments create accountability — and this community will hold you to it. 💪 And if you want a room full of founders building alongside you, join us Thursday at 5:30pm for Startup Sessions. Let's finish this year strong, together. — David
