Stoked for two things... and a bonus!

First, my good friend Ryan Berman packed out Barnes & Noble, Inc. last night and sold out his new book Headamentals.

Second, this was the first book signing hosted on Eventship. Excited to see more authors, creators, and communities using the platform for events like this.

And on a personal note, my amazing wife Jessica Yahfoufi is getting close to releasing her new novel. Stay tuned for that launch party! 💃

Founder, Eventship • Helping event hosts grow everywhere • Host of San Diego’s Startup Mixer

What do you get when you have 200 incredible founders, investors and people working hard to help us all grow at the same place and at the same time?

Great connections, business deals, investments, new jobs and a great ol' time. Especially when you also add in our authentic tacos made by hand on site courtesy of Isaac Pollock, CFP® and Robert Goodyear.

See you there!

Emily Kramer's ecosystem strategy in today's Lenny's Newsletter is brilliant, but I have a different take on one point which is worth unpacking.


You don't get tired of events the same way you do as flooded email inboxes if the events are done right. The problem isn’t too many events, it’s too many of the wrong ones.

With over one thousand events behind me, I can tell you what makes a great event and how events are actually a growth node in your ecosystem flywheel not something people get tired from.

1. Events have to be from trusted hosts (think innovation hubs, accelerators, community leaders, founders, etc).

2. The right people have to be at the event, the attendee list must be curated and focused on the right groups for that event.

3. Sponsors of the event must be true ecosystem partners, not just logos on a wall. e.g. Isaac Pollock, CFP® is the taco guy for my mixer, not just our banker. He is part of the community and cares about it.

4. The event must be designed for connection, not attendance. This is what Neal Bloom🎩, Jonah Peake 🐺 and I talked about in our LinkedIn Live last week. It's also the reason why Eventship invests heavily in our matchmaking AI.

When you get those right, events aren’t fatiguing or tiring. They’re energizing. They are the ecosystem.

When you attend the right event, meet the right person, and the right sponsor supports it, that event becomes a node that strengthens the whole network.
