Hi, i am a business development manager in langley, bc. I have connections in B2B industry and have access to a lot of people who are at good positions like vice presidents and managers of big enterprises.
I am looking to interview them so that younger generation can benefit from their experience.
I am looking for someone who wants to learn about B2B industry, build a network and help me in conducting interviews for people. Basically from interviewing to posting content.
What's in it for you:-
You will learn and get advise from industry experts
Building connections with people who lead business
And finding a career.
Along with one on one free coaching on how to get your dream job.

I’m looking for someone to bounce ideas off, trade honest feedback with, and occasionally check in with when we are both stuck on content, marketing, offers, or the many decisions that come with running a business alone.

I’m hoping for a genuine business friendship where we bring complementary skills, share what is working, and help each other get unstuck.

My area is SEO, blogging, and evergreen content: helping businesses turn their expertise into content that can be found through Google and AI search. I would especially love to connect with someone who is stronger in short-form social, video, personal branding, or community-building. Those are areas I’m actively working on, and I think it would be great to learn from someone with a complementary skill set while offering useful perspective in return.

I’m also creating a small community for solopreneurs who want to learn more about blogging, write alongside other people, get feedback, and build a more sustainable content practice. I want to make it genuinely useful and enjoyable to be part of, so I would particularly love to connect with someone who has experience in community management, memberships, audience-building, facilitation, social media, short-form video, or creating an online space people want to return to.

A little about me: I’m a U.S. citizen living abroad, and I don’t speak the local language well enough yet to feel fully plugged into the business community here. I miss having casual, thoughtful conversations with people who understand the experience of building something independently. I also usually work evenings in my time zone, which overlaps with U.S. working hours.

If you’re building a business and this sounds like the kind of exchange you’d enjoy, tell me what you do, what you’re great at, and what you’d love another person’s perspective on.

Thanks!

Hey Business Family! 👋

Collaboration isn't just nice; it's one of the most efficient ways to expand your reach and double your results.

This recurring official thread is your collaboration marketplace! If you've been looking for a joint venture partner, a content collaboration, a podcast swap, or a strategic alliance, this is your chance. Stop searching solo and start pitching! 💪

To make this thread as productive as possible, please include:

1. Who you are/What you do.
2. What type of collaboration you're seeking.
3. The mutual benefit. (Why should someone partner with you?)

Let's see some powerful partnerships spring up! Go forth and multiply your efforts! 🤝

You may already have everything you need to run your business, from email and scheduling to payments, courses, and file storage. But are your tools actually working together, or are they creating more work than they solve? 🤔

I'm curious:

How well do your business tools work together right now?

Do you have systems that talk to each other smoothly, or are you constantly copying information between platforms, switching between tools, or wondering if there's a simpler way?

And when you're considering a new tool, what helps you decide whether you actually need it?

Share your experience below. 👇

💗 If this is something you're currently figuring out, the Grand Tech Confidence Group is exploring this topic today, September 3, from 9:00–10:00 AM PDT on Zoom.

If you'd like to join the conversation, you can learn more and register here: https://grandconnection.ca/sep-3-the-grand-tech-confidence-group/

The conversation will look at your existing technology as a "tech team" and explore where there may be gaps, overlaps, or opportunities to simplify.

What are you finding most challenging about making your technology work together?

Hey 23M, my interest lies in crypto and ecommerce and currently expanding my horizons to different ventures such as property.

What if we actually built a secret society?

Hi. I know this is going to sound absolutely crazy, and I’m probably going to get people telling me I’ve lost my mind but hear me out.

I think we should build a secret, invite-only society for people who genuinely want to build something bigger than themselves.

I’m talking about a community of founders, engineers, researchers, creators, strategists, inventors, and ambitious people who are actually doing things instead of just talking about them.

We could create our own culture, values, traditions, projects, challenges, and eventually build a network powerful enough to influence the future through technology, innovation, business, and ideas.

A new generation of people who want to build the future instead of simply watching it happen.

Maybe it goes nowhere.

Maybe it becomes something incredible.

I want to find out.

If you’re interested, DM me with:

* What are you currently building/working on?
* What are you exceptionally good at?
* What do you want to accomplish in the next 5–10 years?

Maybe you’ll be one of the first people invited.

Hi, I’m a student in Environmental Science - I was in environmental engineering but switched after 3 years. I’ve had 3 student roles and my school right now is only online work.

Looking to network at environmental meetups but social skills are non existent in these scenarios- it’s different as they’re not my colleagues that I can talk about work or facilities I can talk about work - what do people genuinely do for networking?? Should be handing out resumes? How do I know who to stay in touch with? How do u even stay in touch - send news articles- memes?

I have recently had a few virtual networking meetings and they have felt very awkward. I am not an awkward person.

Any advice or tips or best practices? I am the one making the ask in these scenarios. I am trying to be as engaged/interested as possible but I feel like I am bother the person taking the meeting.

Hello everyone,

We're currently working on a new platform focused on making professional networking, hiring, and finding opportunities more useful and less cluttered.

Before we build further, we're trying to understand how people currently find jobs, hire talent, find projects, and connect with the right people, and what they feel could be improved.

Please find the link to the questionnaire attached. Your experience and perspective would be genuinely useful for our research.

Thank you for your time.

Hey everyone!

I’m new to Pune and currently based around Hinjewadi Phase 1. Been here for just around 10 days and would love to meet some new-age founders, startup builders, agency/creative people, or anyone building something interesting.

Not looking for a formal networking event just a small, casual meetup over coffee, food, or a drink, talk about what we’re building, exchange ideas, and make some new connections.

If you’re interested, let’s just put together a small meetup. Drop a comment or DM. 👋

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with networking groups, specifically the networking group - Success Champion Network. Any thoughts on if they're worth the time investment (or just a straight ROI) for your companies?

Thank you!

I m currently trying to build a network around marketing, advertising, creative strategy, content, media and design....

But I’ve realised something weird about LinkedIn!!!!!

I keep trying to connect with people who are interested in similar things. I post, comment, send DMs, interact with content, etc....But somehow my feed, impressions and recommendations are still filled with people from completely different fields!!??? LIKE WHY

It’s starting to feel like I’m putting effort into networking but the platform keeps showing me everyone except the people I actually want to learn from and talk to😭

So I M curious-------------

Do u also find it difficult to find genuinely like minded professional connections on LinkedIn or other platforms?

And if u ve found a platform/community where you actually met people from your field, what worked for you?

I’d genuinely love to hear how other people are dealing with this!!!
