Christian Miccio and I have been thinking about what a Defence-focused group might look like, but importantly what would make it beneficial and ensure its longevity.
For anyone interested, and if you think a Defence group would be valuable, please throw your thoughts our way via a little survey we’ve created: https://forms.gle/XipQMfpPzNm4Gej47
Thank you, and looking forward to hearing from you.
Ed and Christian

Like our forum members, you might be part of some communities but experience that the engagement there can easily be shallow, fleeting and limited, leaving you wanting more. Like our forum members, seeking deeper engagement which is ongoing and more holistic, in a peer advis…

posted in the group The Wine GroupI just became Chairman of the Board of Governance Board of a winery near me called Wilson Creek Winery
https://www.wilsoncreekwinery.com/
a family business celebrating 25 years and the busiest winery in Temecula Valley, Southern California Wine Country https://www.visittemeculavalley.com/wine/ (nearly 60 wineries within 5 miles, having built 12 brand new ones in the 12 years we have lived here) and am having a blast getting spooled up … not least of all, it takes a lot of ”research” to judge the quality of our wines!
Tough duty, but someone has to do it! -

Hello to all of you beautiful wine lovers!
I’m finally getting around to explore this wonderful platform. Great to see that you actually meet up in real life (which is the most important part for the wine part). Let me briefly introduce myself. I am a passionate soul who jumped off the corporate life of private banking and joined the wine trade. I’ve been organising private and corporate wine tastings for 3 years now and also launching my wine travel business. It would be great o get to know you all. If you are around on Tuesday, 24th of June, please join me for a Wine Roulette – a wine tasting in a totally fun format.
Here is the link for more details and tickets:

Looking for an individual to SHARE a large B2B opportunity. It involves editing a book featuring 50 never-been-seen-before marketing ideas and also motivating 17,000 commission agents to promote the book. ALL the marketing ideas require a creative campaign in the event an order – which you will be paid to handle. I was once generating 1,000 ”what do you creatively do?” enquiries from Blue Chips and SMES per month.
Happy to send more details.

Hi Elena
Thanks for reaching out.
The story started when the British Royal Mail VOLUNTEERED to sponsor the launch of my first lead gen idea to the tune of 50,000 Pounds, which generated 1,000 ”What else do you creatively do in lead gen?” enquiries from Blue Chips and SMEs.
I am happy to SHARE any sponsorship money or relevant lead gen enquiries with anyone who wants to work with me wearing my new business and/or creative hat.
I have identified 17,000 commission agents w…

Evening everyone.
Thanks so much for the responses so far. In broad terms, there appears agreement that a group such as this could provide value, so long as it’s curated well.
Christian and I thought it might be useful to have a 30 minute teams call next week for those interested. Talk through some of the ideas and proposals, and start to develop a way ahead.
Would a 5 PM call on either Monday 23rd or Thursday 26th June work? Please let us know and we’ll arrange.
Thanks …
