🍽 Format: Guided Discussion (details below)

​Intention:

​This space exists because there is an organic need for it. We're here not to give perfect answers, but to surface real challenges, identify what’s working, and learn from each other. The goal is to collectively accelerate traction, not just talk strategy. We ask for specificities and honesty so we can bring each other the impact we deserve.
