That was Meet&Deal vol12 Summer Edition. August 27, the SunDeck, 150 people from Czech and Slovak business.

Why a boat

Every Meet&Deal happens somewhere you’ll remember. Kaiserštejn Palace, the Město Moře courtyard, the rooftop at J&T Banka, the SPACE by HAAS gallery in Bratislava. The bar is high, and every time I’m sitting there with the same question: what tops that?

The SunDeck is a converted tanker permanently moored on the Danube. Open deck, castle view, sunset. But the real reason it works has nothing to do with the view. A boat has one gangway out.

That sounds trivial. For networking it’s the single best property a venue can have. When there’s no way to quietly slip out, people stop keeping one foot out the door and actually start talking.

The risk was weather. Rain would have left me with 150 people on an open deck and no plan B that wasn’t embarrassing. It held. Sometimes luck beats planning.

What happened on deck

The panel is back. We’d dropped the format for a while and I wasn’t sure we should return to it. The topic settled it: whether and, more importantly, how to actually get AI into a company. Ondřej Hlaváč, Miroslava Šáchová and Matouš Králík on stage, Petr Vojnar of SEBA Academy moderating. Zero theory, all field experience, including a frank stretch on where companies are burning money for nothing. Petr ran it the way only he can. The best bits are going out on our social channels over the coming weeks.

Networking bingo by Boost.space. Our general partner brought an activation that outperformed most things we’ve tried. Simple mechanic, and it pushes you to approach the people you’d otherwise walk past. This one I’m keeping.

Connectors. Our people whose only job is to find the right two guests and put them together. I wouldn’t run an event without them.

The 1to1 rock paper scissors tournament has a new champion. Ondra Marek, founder of office to go and a KOMUNITA member. Anyone who says it’s a game of luck clearly hasn’t played him.

Speed boats. Around thirty people got out onto the Danube over the course of the night, a fifth of everyone aboard. The envy from the ones still waiting their turn was visible, which is exactly the point.

Plus catering, proper drinks, and a DJ who kept the deck moving until the end.

KOMUNITA is opening up in Slovakia

This matters more to me long term than any single event. Imrich Kovaľ is taking over the Slovak side of KOMUNITA, our closed membership group. Bratislava sessions are already scheduled, and some sessions are moving online, so it stops mattering which side of the border you’re on.

What didn’t work

Patting yourself on the back is cheap, so here’s the uncomfortable part first.

Eliška Gunišová from team.blue gave us five stars and one honest note: everything great, not enough food. Fair. If you dive straight into networking, the catering passes you by. But that’s my problem to solve, not yours. Fixing it for vol13.

The music drowned out conversation in places. A recurring issue I still haven’t fully dialled in.

And Peter Vidovič floated an idea I’ve been chewing on since we got back: let guests book meetings in advance, with a set time and a numbered table. Half brilliant, half a risk that you turn a free-flowing evening into a timetable. We’ll see.

The rest of the feedback gave me a real lift. Kristína Chovancová called out the relaxed, non-corporate mood and said it made approaching people far easier (translated from Slovak). Peter Vidovič of Modrý koník put it simply: a very pleasant event where he met a pile of interesting people with a similar mindset. And Petr Miklík from Goldea said the boat was a smart move, the kind of thing that makes an event stick in your memory.

Thank you

To Boost.space as general partner. A large share of the connections made that night happened because their bingo stacked them up for us.

To the SunDeck for letting us drop anchor. To Shoptet Premium and RTB House, who keep pushing Meet&Deal further. To Fremlos Media for the video you’ll be seeing soon.

And a special one to Radovan Grežo of Somebody&Somebody, a KOMUNITA member who lent us his car. Without him we don’t get to Bratislava with the gear. That’s KOMUNITA working in practice, and it’s the reason I built it.

Thanks also to the panellists, to Petr for moderating, and to the whole crew on deck.

Merch

If you were on the boat, you saw it. The “Nemluv. Naslouchej.” hoodie, the “Jsem dealer networkingu” tee, the “Meet. Deal. Repeat.” snapback. Drop two is available until September 30, 2026, then it’s gone. Pick it up at the next event, at a KOMUNITA session, or we’ll courier it to you.

What’s next

Meet&Deal vol13 Lucky 13 Edition, November 5, Prague, WorkLounge Karlín. Back on solid ground, same energy.

Packing 150 business people onto a moored tanker on the Danube sounds like a bad idea. It was one of the best nights we’ve ever run. And Slovakia is ours. Twice now.

See you in November in Karlín.

The post Meet&Deal vol12 Summer Edition: I Took 150 Business People Onto the Danube. Most of the Slovaks Had Never Sailed It appeared first on André Kohout si píše.

I pictured the roof down, an empty mountain road and soft morning light. The reality was three degrees above zero, a schnitzel for 37 euros and a war over a parking space. And I’d still do it again in a heartbeat. What it turned into was a far better ride than the one I’d sketched out on the map.

From Prague to the Alps without an Austrian vignette

A quick tip to start, because a lot of people wrestle with it. We didn’t buy the Austrian motorway vignette. In the Czech Republic we took the D3 all the way to the border at Dolní Dvořiště, and from that point on we stuck to back roads. Yes, it adds time. But behind the wheel of a convertible on alpine lanes with no motorway, you realise you’re not missing a thing, quite the opposite. On top of that, the Grossglockner has its own separate toll, so you don’t even need a vignette for that road.

We based ourselves in Altenmarkt, at the family-run Scheffer’s Hotel, which I wrote about separately. Three nights, half board, mountains right out the door. The perfect launch pad for what came next.

Grossglockner: the day it was all about

First the numbers, so you know what you’re getting into. The toll for a car for the whole day comes to 46.50 euros. The road is open roughly from May to the end of October and runs daily from early morning to evening. Your ticket is valid all day, so you can go back and forth as much as you like.

We originally wanted to set off at dawn for the empty road and the soft light. But it was around three degrees up top in the morning, and during the day the summit climbed to maybe nine. In a convertible with the roof down that’s a proper shiver, so we pushed the start to later in the morning. And it paid off, because the weather stayed clear all day.

From the gate at Ferleiten it climbs, switchback after switchback. First stop, Edelweißspitze, the highest point a car can reach, 2,571 metres. You climb the steps up a stone tower and get a 360-degree view of the surrounding three-thousanders. Then back down to the main road, past the mirror-like Fuscher Lacke tarn, through the Hochtor tunnel, and finally the dead-end spur to Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe, where you look straight at the Pasterze glacier and the summit of the Grossglockner.

And because every road trip needs its own tale, here’s ours: lunch up at 2,369 metres. Half a chicken schnitzel spilling over the plate, fries, a broth and two sodas. 37 euros. At an altitude where everything has to arrive by cable car, I honestly didn’t mind. It tasted all the better for it.

When the plan stretches by two days

We were originally meant to head home earlier. Then it turned out our cat sitter had him until Sunday, and suddenly we had two extra days. We even considered a hop to Bratislava to record a podcast, but in the end the chilled option won. Just drive home slowly through a lovely stretch of Austria.

We shifted our base further north, to Wels, into a budget hotel on the route to Linz. Nothing charming, a functional stopover for a reasonable price. But the surroundings had plenty to offer.

Wels, pizza and an evening on the square

The first evening we did Wels. An old town with the long Stadtplatz square and the floodlit Ledererturm tower at the far end. We headed into the centre expecting a proper Austrian pub, and ended up with pizza at Pizzeria Da Tano. And it was excellent. One beer on the square after a week in the mountains just hits the spot.

Attersee and the battle for parking

We dedicated Saturday to the water, because the thermometer read 29 degrees. We made for Attersee, one of the bluest lakes in Austria, to Nussdorf. And this is where the real road-trip comedy kicked in.

First we parked in a spot that turned out to be reserved for the residents of certain flats. We moved on. The next spot was in a blue zone with a time limit and a parking disc. The official paid car park by the beach was full. In the end we landed at an EasyPark machine, zone 486500, a day ticket for six euros, and finally got into the water. Anyone who’s ever hunted for parking by a lake on a hot Saturday knows this is a discipline in its own right.

The water was worth it, though. Attersee is deep and fresh, not a bathtub by any means, but a proper wake-up. Exactly what you want after a week in the mountains.

A floating castle to finish

On the way back we stopped at Schloss Ort in Gmunden. It’s the castle that sits right in the water of Traunsee, with a wooden bridge leading out to it. We didn’t go inside, the whole magic is on the outside anyway. We walked around, photographed the bridge and the surface of the lake, and had, what else, another pizza. A road trip simply can’t resist Italian food, not even in Austria.

And then it was just the drive home. Through Linz to the border without a motorway, back onto the D3 past Dolní Dvořiště and on to Prague. Cat collected, the roof up maybe twice the whole week, my head full of switchbacks.

What I took home

The Grossglockner is a legend for good reason, and a convertible is the best car for it. But what stuck with me most were the things between the lines. A schnitzel at two thousand metres. A blue lake you can’t park at. A castle on the water and a pizza beside it. Because a road trip is never only about the destination, and here the old line truly holds: the journey is the reward!

The post Driving the Grossglockner in a convertible: our Austria road trip, how it really went appeared first on André Kohout si píše.

But let’s take it from the top.

This whole trip started as a classic road trip in a Mercedes convertible. Me, my girlfriend Terka, and a plan to drive the Grossglockner. But when we were working out where to spend a few nights in Austria, the local tourist office, Tourismusverband Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, reached out and connected us with a hotel I had never even heard of.

And I’m glad it did.

What Scheffer’s actually is

Scheffer’s Hotel sits in Altenmarkt im Pongau, a small town at 842 metres, roughly 65 kilometres southeast of Salzburg. It’s a family business that has been running for about 70 years, since the 1950s, and today it’s led by Verena.

And it’s exactly the kind of place where you’re not processed by a receptionist with a plastic smile, but welcomed by a host who, five minutes in, is already helping you figure out where to catch the best view and whether you’d like to meet their own cattle.

A double room with a balcony, bathroom, robe and slippers, plus half board. That was our base camp. Nothing over the top, just honest Austrian classic.

But the best part wasn’t happening in the room.

The barbecue, the cattle, and dinner with no power

On the very first evening, Verena invited us to a barbecue they were hosting right by the hotel. And that’s one of those moments when it hits you that this isn’t a chain. Food from their own farm, quiet all around, mountains on every side, and a family that treats you like you belong there.

The highlight of the stay came on another day, though, when Verena drove us up to their mountain hut. No electricity, only solar. No hot water, just cold from the stream. And yet, or maybe precisely because of that, they serve one of the best Brotzeit I’ve ever had.

A board loaded with cured meats, cheeses and bread, plus Verhackerts, a spread of minced smoked bacon you won’t find back home. And all around grazed Highland cattle, the shaggy ones with the big horns.

This kind of authenticity can’t be staged. Either a hotel has it, or it doesn’t. Scheffer’s has it.

Wellness that hits after the mountains

After a day in the mountains, we wound down every evening in the hotel’s wellness area. Indoor pool, sauna, exactly what you need after a full day of hiking or after the switchbacks of the Grossglockner.

A balm for the body, and for me the perfect way to close each day.

The story that gives it all deeper meaning

And now the part that got me the most.

Over one dinner, Verena started telling us the history of Zauchensee, the ski area just above Altenmarkt. Her father and brother built the first lifts and gondolas here. Her mother runs the lifts today. And Zauchensee is still privately owned, unlike neighbouring Flachau, which belongs to the banks.

Verena has old photos from the 1960s at home, the names of the founders, even a retired gondola she wants to turn into a café. You sit at dinner and listen to how a handful of enthusiasts and one set of sleds grew into a ski resort.

And when you add that Altenmarkt is the home of ski legends like Hermann Maier and Michael Walchhofer, it hits you that this small town has a heart far bigger than its not-quite five thousand residents.

You can’t buy that. And that’s exactly why a family hotel beats a chain every time it comes down to the experience.

What comes with your stay

A quick practical note you’ll appreciate if you’re planning to go. Altenmarkt looks after its guests well beyond the hotel too.

When you check in, you get what’s called a guest card. With it you ride the Gamskogelbahn cable car for free, along with the local buses and shuttles around the area. And a short hop from the hotel is Erlebnis-Therme Amadé, thermal baths right in Altenmarkt. Eleven pools, a sauna world, and even the only looping water slide in Austria.

What worked best for us was turning up right at nine in the morning. Quiet, the sauna area almost empty. Exactly how it should be.

It all fits together beautifully. The hotel feeds you and puts you up, and the surroundings are sorted with a single card, so you don’t have to worry about a thing and can simply enjoy it.

Who I’d recommend it to

If you’re after an Austrian hotel where they treat you like a person and not a booking number, and you want the area served up by people who know it better than any map, Scheffer’s is an easy call.

Family, food from their own farm, wellness, mountains at the doorstep, and a story you take home with you.

You’ll find more about the hotel at scheffers-hotel.at and about the whole destination at altenmarkt-zauchensee.at. On Instagram you’ll find them as @scheffershotel and @visitaltenmarktzauchensee, and the thermal baths as @erlebnistherme.

We’ll definitely be back. And next time maybe not just the two of us, but with a crew. But that’s a story for another time.

The post Three nights at Scheffer’s: how a family hotel in Austria fed us, warmed us, and won us over with its story appeared first on André Kohout si píše.

So I built it. Not a single worker. Basically a whole team. Its name is Edwin, and it lives on one small computer at my place. A few years ago, unthinkable. Today, an everyday part of my work.

This is the story of how it all came together, what it can do, where I got burned, and what it cost me. Because it wasn’t and isn’t all sunshine. You’ll also find out why it’s useful for you too, and how you get to something like this even if you’re not a developer. Because I’m not either. Not even close.

It Started with Frustration

It began with boredom and frustration at the same time. I’d sunk hundreds of hours into vibecoding and figured out one thing: AI tools like Claude Code can write code, text, whatever. But every single time, you have to kick them into gear. Open, prompt, wait, close. Over and over. You’re basically a dispatcher who’s not allowed to leave the desk. Sooner or later, that drains you.

And I wanted the exact opposite. I wanted things to run while I’m asleep, at an event, or grabbing lunch. I wanted stuff to be done by morning that I only handed off the night before. Nice idea, right?

I kept thinking: what if AI wasn’t a tool I have to hold by the hand, but a team I just brief, and it handles the job itself?

That’s how Edwin was born.

Meet Edwin, Who Never Sleeps

Edwin isn’t a cloud or magic. It’s a plain Mac Mini M4 Pro with 24GB of RAM sitting at my place, running nonstop. I killed sleep mode for good, so it never dozes off. If the power cuts out, it boots itself back up. It’s a little black box, and I’ve moved a whole crew of agents into it.

Why my own machine and not just the cloud? Two reasons. First, privacy. Part of Edwin’s brain runs locally, right there on the box, so sensitive data never leaves the building. Second, I wanted something that’s mine and, more importantly, always on. I didn’t want a service someone could shut down or jack up the price on tomorrow.

And now the best part. The team.

A Copywriter? Sure. Plus a Designer, a Developer, and an Assistant

Every agent has one role and one name. I didn’t try to build a single super-smart robot that does everything. In most cases, that doesn’t work. Instead, I’ve got a crew of specialists where each one does its own thing. Just like a real company.

I talk to them through Slack, like I’m messaging coworkers. I drop a brief into a channel, and it happens. No praying to the gods.

FORGE is the developer. I tell it “change this on the website” or “add a button there,” and it codes it, tests it, and ships it. Without it, every little tweak would mean an external dev, a budget, and at least a week of waiting.

Dan 2.0 is the copywriter. It writes posts, emails, texts. And here’s the important part: it writes in my voice. It learned my tone from dozens of my old articles and posts, so when it writes something, it sounds like me, not like some robot off the internet. It effectively replaces my human copywriter, which makes life easier for both of us.

ORACLE is the conductor. It sits above everyone else, hands out the tasks, and makes sure nothing collides. When I drop a vague brief, ORACLE decides who on the team should take it and passes it on.

ALFRED is my personal assistant. It watches the calendar, the reminders, the inbox. In the morning it tells me what the day has in store.

SENTINEL is the watchdog. Every few minutes it checks whether everything’s fine, whether anything crashed, whether Edwin is overheating. If something’s off, it pings me right away. Security is number one for me, because the moment you start giving agents access to your data, you need to be sure nothing’s happening behind your back.

And then I’ve got a few more that showed up along the way. STUDIO does the graphics. HERMES sends out the mailings. Down the road I’m building NEXUS, a brain sitting on top of my CRM, and HERALD, a voice agent that’ll be able to make phone calls. But that’s still down the line.

Every day at 8 PM, the whole team sends me a diary. Who did what, how many tasks got done, whether anything’s acting up. So I’ve got the full picture, even if I don’t check in all day. No silent moves. I hear about everything.

It Sounds Great, But the Road Was Rough

I won’t pretend it just happened on its own. That wouldn’t be me.

Right at the start I accidentally deleted a file with an important config. One wrong click, and I spent half an evening piecing back together what was supposed to be there. Lesson: before you run anything for real, have backups. Always.

Then one agent started crashing in an infinite loop. It kept restarting, kept crashing, flooded my logs. It took me forever to figure out the culprit was some tiny thing buried deep in the libraries, the last place you’d look. Lesson: when something acts up, hunt down the cause, not a band-aid. Working around a problem always comes back to bite you.

And the third classic: authentication. The agents kept dropping off and I couldn’t figure out why, because everything looked set up right. Turned out it was an expired credential that needed a different way to verify. A few hours in the trash, but once you crack it, you get peace of mind.

Let’s be real, half the work wasn’t building. It was debugging. And that’s exactly what nobody tells you in those hyped-up AI videos.

What It Cost Me

Now for the numbers, because I like those specific.

Time? I’ll probably never track that one down, because I don’t log everything. It wasn’t one big push. It was a pile of small evenings where I added an agent, tuned something, fixed something. But I already know it’s going to land in the high hundreds of hours.

The Mac Mini as hardware, plus a Claude Code subscription. And a few dollars a month for other small tools. Part of the brain runs locally and for free. The one-time hardware cost stung, but it spreads out over time. And the monthly running costs come to a few thousand crowns.

Sounds like a lot, maybe. But now compare it. If I hired people for this, we’re talking a developer, a copywriter, an assistant, and a designer. That’s tens to hundreds of thousands a month. Edwin works 24/7, never gets sick, never complains, and I don’t have to pay it vacation.

How It Actually Helps Me

And now to why the whole thing was worth it.

The biggest win was time saved on the repetitive stuff. Instead of opening five tools, I write one message in Slack and it happens. A website tweak, a social post, a mailing, a check on whether something’s stuck. Things that used to eat hours, I now handle in a single sentence.

The second thing is that it runs even when I don’t. I wake up in the morning and there’s finished work I only handed off the night before. Edwin grinded all night.

But heads up, there’s a paradox waiting for you. You don’t actually save that saved time. You immediately pour it into new ideas and projects you never had the capacity for before. So instead of more free time, you end up with more things you can pull off. And honestly, that’s the most fun part.

Where This Is All Heading

This isn’t a finished thing. It’s a living organism. I’m always adding, always tuning. The next big step is wiring Edwin into my CRM so it helps me with contacts and relationships too, which is the whole foundation of networking. And then the voice agent that can pick up the phone.

But the main point isn’t how many agents I have. It’s the shift in my head. I stopped treating AI as a tool I have to hold by the hand, and started treating it as a team I brief, and it delivers.

And the best news? You don’t have to be a developer for this. I’m not. You just need the itch to try, the patience for tuning, and the willingness to get burned. The rest you pick up along the way.

Building something similar, or thinking about it? Let me know, I’m happy to talk shop. This topic really fires me up.

The post I Built My Own AI Team. It Works 24/7, Even While I Sleep appeared first on André Kohout si píše.

You can negotiate anything. Except the weather.

When J&T Banka and I shook on it that the eleventh Meet&Deal would take place on their rooftop terrace, I was thrilled. June is almost a sure thing for summer weather, but you can’t bet on it.

The event hadn’t even started and we were already down two tents thanks to the strong wind and rain. And on top of that, the whole building had to be evacuated that morning because of an alarm. Just great.

As the start time crept closer, I got more and more nervous. But the moment the first guests arrived, so did perfect weather. The tables turned. So much so that I spent half the event in a t-shirt and shorts. Sunshine, warmth, a view over Prague. What more could you ask for?

Sure, it cooled off again later in the evening, but we had a few gas heaters ready for exactly that, and they ended up doubling as networking points.

The most nourishing networking, with a program to match

150 people from the Czech and Slovak business world made it onto the J&T Banka roof with a shared goal. To talk business and life, make new connections, and deepen the ones they already had. The terrace gave people plenty of spots to talk openly, as well as enough privacy to fine-tune the terms of a deal.

Our connectors helped guests find and link up with each other, and our traditional 1to1 rock-paper-scissors tournament served much the same purpose. For a moment it looked like history would repeat itself and Kazimír Krysta would walk away with another title, but in the end it was Marcel Lukačka, Co-founder of go4.sk & go4.cz and a member of our Meet&Deal KOMUNITA, who claimed it.

Meet&Deal vol11 was actually the first event since we launched KOMUNITA. So guests had the chance to talk through the value of KOMUNITA with a number of members who came along.

A raffle with valuable prizes from our partners is an integral part of our program. In cooperation with the Kubova English Foundation, this time we raised money for Džony, who lives with cerebral palsy. Together with Kuba Čáslava, he put together a guitar performance that was as entertaining as it was moving. DJ Akvamen joined them on the sax, then took care of a fantastic atmosphere with his set. We raised a little over 30,000 CZK toward Džony’s spa stay. Every crown counts.

For the first time, we sold raffle tickets through the vibecoded admin of the Meet&Deal website, which also ran a fair draw for the main prizes. There’s definitely room to improve, but this is the path we want to keep walking, step by step.

Guests could enjoy a rum tasting paired with select cigars, as well as a Neapolitan pizza-making workshop with Pizza Therapy. They could also tuck into Alkonuky (non-alcoholic version included), great catering, and select drinks led by Jakub Krejčí of JK Spirits & Love, who’s been pulling this along with us from the very start. Thanks for that.

The feedback didn’t keep us waiting

I could sing the praises of my own event all the way to the moon. But what always interests me is how the guests see it. After all, we do this for them, and their feedback is what helps us keep pushing the events forward. So how did people like it this time?

“What did I like? Everything. A perfect event, great people, excellent service, amazing bites, the pizza workshop was a highlight. The rooftop has its own magic and the networking up there was brilliant! Hats off, really. A 100% well thought-out event,” wrote Martin Vašulka, Business Development Manager at Business Factory.

Peter Brejčák, an editor at CzechCrunch, summed it up very briefly: “For me, probably the best Meet&Deal there’s ever been.”

Eliška Škatulová from Modrý koník most appreciated “the openness of people to talk, to get into business and ideas, and a lot of valuable new contacts.”

Petr Zahradník, a physiotherapist from Spinezio, wrote to tell us he liked “the organization. Everything worked, the relaxed atmosphere, people’s willingness to meet and talk, the variety in the program, a live DJ, catering, and helping others.”

We’ve got things to improve too, of course. Some people missed a cloakroom for their things, some didn’t manage to eat properly before the catering vanished. Some didn’t sign up for the pizza workshop or the tournament in time, and some were simply cold by the evening.

Thanks to the partners who help us push it forward

I’d really like to take this chance to thank our event partner, J&T Banka. I chatted with some of the bank’s people right there at the event and they were genuinely excited. I appreciate that, because they don’t usually open their space up for events.

Thanks also to Shoptet Premium. Btw, at the bar guests could grab their special drink with a big ice cube stamped with their logo. That was cool. Thanks as well to RTB House, who’ll be with us right through to the end of the year, MOVit Energy s.r.o. for their energy, SkvělýTisk.cz for printing our materials and our new merch, Pizza Therapy for the pizza and the inspiring workshop, and Fremlos Media for the photos and videos we’re now flooding the socials with.

Thanks for the great shots to Erik Dao and Jirka Zamazal from Fremlos Media.

Thanks too to our raffle partners, whether that’s Furiosa, Cuppka, Spokojený Pes, Tomas Arsov, Kubova English, Trenýrkárna, Mixit, or Masáže Michal.

How it ended, and what’s next

At midnight we had to clear the terrace, but we carried straight on to the afterparty. That didn’t stay in one place either, we worked our way through a few more. No wonder, given we wrapped up close to five in the morning.

I have to say, Meet&Deal vol11 Rooftop Edition is up there with the very best Meet&Deal events. We raised the bar again. And I can’t wait for the next one. We’re heading back to Bratislava, this time onto a boat called Sundeck. August 27. So expect summer vibes and a great atmosphere.

Want to be there with us? Grab your ticket in the first wave at the lowest price on the Meet&Deal website.

February: Pilsner Urquell, ScaleupBoard and the first Vibecoding session

I didn’t start hitting events until February, because Terka and I spent the beginning of the year in Thailand and China, which I wrote about on the blog.

So the first event of the year was a tasting of the new menu at Pilsner Urquell Experience on Wenceslas Square. A more intimate format, but the networking was all the richer for it. And that’s exactly the thing I keep repeating. You don’t need to be at the biggest event in the country to meet interesting people. Sometimes a smaller space, the right context, and people who didn’t show up just to collect business cards is all it takes.

In the second half of February, right after launching Meet&Deal KOMUNITA, I dropped by ScaleupBoard, which Kryštof Kulan hosted at his law firm. Another intimate event, another slightly different angle on what a community can look like.

And then came the thing I’m probably enjoying most right now. On 23.2., I organized Vibecoding session vol1 under Meet&Deal KOMUNITA, where Michal Presse let us in on how to do it, what to watch out for, and everything they’re building with vibecoding. From the Vibecoding session, I headed straight to an informal beer before COE, which followed the very next day. I shot a reel about it, you’ll find it on my Instagram.

And yes, vibe coding has gradually been bleeding into pretty much everything.

March: GECOM never again, Obchodník roku yes please, and Hustler Con oh those kids

At the start of March came GECOM, where I’d already been five times. And I have to say, this year was one of the worst I can remember. Few people, everything just about partners, and the afterparty was a complete embarrassment. Two boxes of wine and a plastic bottle of Coca Cola at an event where they want 15 grand for a ticket? Yeah, no.

On 11.3., Retail Summit was in full swing, which I skipped, but what I couldn’t miss was the Obchodník roku award ceremony organized by Mastercard. Great event, new contacts, quality networking. Now that’s more like it.

On 13.3., Terka and I went off to celebrate her birthday in Marseille, where we managed to cram in a ton of stuff in just 24 hours, which I wrote about in the usual fashion in the Marseille: 24 hours with a backpack in the rawest city in France article.

Right after coming back, I changed at home and headed to Hustler Con, which is an event primarily for young people. I didn’t see much of the event itself, but I chatted with several people at the afterparty and I have to say, this approach really isn’t my thing. I was young and dumb too, but you need to look at business long-term. At 16 you shouldn’t be a mentor, and if you’re already selling content to a client for 30k a month, you should be focused on what it actually delivers for them. That’s the whole reason the client is paying.

On 18.3., we ran Vibecoding session vol2, and that was also the first official event of our Meet&Deal KOMUNITA. I’m mainly glad that Eva Šťastná, as someone who doesn’t understand code, managed to build her own website and basically got three years of membership value back in one session. That’s exactly why we’re doing all of this.

On 19.3., I stopped by Michal Presse’s vibecoding workshop to soak up more on how to really do it right.

On 25.3. there was Síťovka over at the DAMI guys, their own community event. And once again, vibecoding was the main topic. Coincidence? I think not. After years away, I sat through a few talks and even took something away from them.

On 26.3. came ShopRoku, a real favorite of mine. An event I always look forward to and always thoroughly enjoy. And who knows, maybe something more will come out of it. Stay tuned.

April: Meet&Deal KOMUNITA in full swing, 3 events in one day and dinner with Brand Class

On 1.4. we had our first KOMUNITA session with an expert. With Honza Bartoš we went deep on performance marketing in a tight circle. You can read about what we covered in the article When ads aren’t working, look for the problem somewhere else. Here’s what you’ll take away from the mastermind with Honza Bartoš on the Meet&Deal blog. The article came together largely thanks to the PLAUD AI voice recorder. You can grab it at Tygotec.cz with a 10% discount using the code ANDRE. You’re welcome.

But Meet&Deal KOMUNITA isn’t just about education, it’s mainly about networking and relationships. So on 9.4. we went to play some pool and knocked a few balls around.

On 10.4., Petr Mára, Lubo Šmíd and Jaroslav Beck hosted Fantastic Future LIVE #2, recording another episode of the podcast at STRV. I dragged my feet on it, so I only made the recording and missed the dinner with them. I’ll make up for it on 25.6., when they’re recording again, and this time I made sure to grab my dinner ticket.

On 15.4., Holky z Marketingu held their warm up party before the conference. A nice smaller event, and mainly the lead-in to my hell day, when I pulled off three events in a single day.

On 16.4. I started in the morning at the HzM conference. After lunch I moved over to Eshopista, where I had two meetings lined up. Then a quick stop at Brand Class by Jakub Kantor and back to the HzM conference. And to round out the day, dinner with Jakub, Matt Davis, and other people from Brand Class. I wrapped up the day (maybe unnecessarily late) with Sam Sádovský, but it was worth it. These are exactly the kind of days that require at least one day off afterwards. No people, no communication, and usually no work either.

On 20.4. we ran Vibecoding session vol3, because it’s not just the people enjoying it, I am too. Having time to work, vibe code, and most of all swap advice and share the highs and lows.

On 23.4. I went to a GARAGE22 event at Vnitroblok, with ramen, a bunch of interesting people and friends I hadn’t seen in ages. The after at Dva Kohouti delivered exactly what you’d expect in summer weather. We met loads more people from both business and e-commerce.

May: time for ideamaking and vibecoding, a big reveal, and piloting a plane

On 6.5. we tackled ideamaking with Daniel Klečka at Meet&Deal KOMUNITA. A great day full of ideas and frameworks you need to keep an idea afloat and actually carry it through to reality. You’ll find the article An idea is just a pretty thought in a drawer if it doesn’t solve a real problem on the Meet&Deal blog.

Right after that, I went to a fashion show where Terka was performing. Even at events like that you can network, you just need to “hunt” a bit harder for the business people.

And now the best bit. The most demanding week of the season. Five events, one after another.

It kicked off with the Grand Opening of WorkLounge Event House. Right after that I moved on to the BRAINSTORM unveiling, where Žufánek, Janecký and Černý revealed a new bottle of premium absinthe.

The next day I powered through seven interviews, because we’re hiring our future CMO and COO. And by the way, seven interviews back to back is in some ways tougher than running an event for five thousand people.

On Thursday I lined up two more events and honestly didn’t feel like going to either. It started with E-commerce Hangár, organized by Ecomail in partnership with Retino, Shoptet and GLS. And yes, I piloted a plane. More on my Instagram.

Right after the official kickoff I moved over to the launch of the Cuppka app, where I’m a proud ambassador. Another great event packed with interesting people, and above all confirmation that Cuppka is going to be with us for a long time and its goals are more realistic than you’d think. There’s a reel about it on Instagram too. It was absolutely worth it.

I closed out the week at the board meeting of Hospodářská komora Praha Jihozápad. A more intimate event, getting to know the members and defining what’s actually going to happen next. But more on that another time.

The last event I’ll mention here is Vibecoding session vol4 for Meet&Deal KOMUNITA. As usual it was worth it and I’m already looking forward to the next one. And if you want to join in, you either need to become a KOMUNITA member, or buy a Sample, which gets you not just entry to the event but also one warm intro.

28 events in just under 5 months

That’s not a bad number at all. And I should probably start saying I’ve got 600+ events under my belt. Because I’ve been saying 500+ for about two years now, and this tally has clearly pushed past it.

Where do we meet next?

Quickly, what’s coming up:

• 3.6. Forbes Business Fest in Prague
• 11.6. Meet&Deal vol11 Rooftop Edition at J&T Banka, going to be seriously top tier
• 23.6. Meet&Deal KOMUNITA session with Jakub Kantor: branding and strategy
• 25.6. NBCU Summit, where I’m helping with the organization (more on LinkedIn) plus dinner and the recording of Fantastic Future LIVE #3
• 7.7. Vibecoding Session vol5
• 15.7. Meet&Deal KOMUNITA session with Jakub Čáslava: business English
• 5.8. Vibecoding Session vol6
• 12.8. Meet&Deal KOMUNITA session with Eliška Jana Auer: socials and virals
• 27.8. Meet&Deal vol12 Summer Edition in Bratislava
• 7.9. Meet&Deal KOMUNITA session with Ruslan Skopal: leadership
• 16.9. Vibecoding Session vol7 in Bratislava
• 17.9. Upterdam
• 6.10. Meet&Deal KOMUNITA session with Petr Vojnar: communication and psychology
• 21.10. Vibecoding Session vol8
• 11.11. Meet&Deal KOMUNITA session with Lukáš Pítra: CRO & UX
• 18.11. Vibecoding Session vol9
• 2.12. Meet&Deal KOMUNITA session with Michal Bílka: marketing is getting expensive
• 4.12. Vibecoding Session vol10

And that’s nowhere near everything. With KOMUNITA we’ll be meeting up at informal sessions over beers and sport too. Basically doing what networking is all about.

Joining KOMUNITA?

You can hit a lot of these events for free and a whole bunch more at discounted rates. Plus you can keep learning and growing with us on the regular.

Membership in Meet&Deal KOMUNITA currently runs 24,000 CZK excl. VAT per year, or 2,900 CZK excl. VAT per single session.

AI is Unstoppable, and That’s Awesome

The world of AI fascinates me every single day, and I try to keep up with its incredible progress. I spend hours vibecoding daily, using various tools, and striving to streamline my workflow. Thanks to AI, I can bring my ideas to life almost instantly.

But I also spend a ton of time in meetings, calls, workshops, and masterminds that I host within the Meet&Deal COMMUNITY. And this right here is an absolute goldmine for my blog and social media content.

I’ve been using Plaud for a while now. It’s a voice recorder that snaps onto the back of your phone via MagSafe. It records everything anyone says around you, and thanks to the app, it can generate a verbatim transcript along with various types of summaries. You can export these outputs, share them, or integrate them into other apps.

Recordings are stored locally right on the device. Transcription and summarization happen in the cloud via an encrypted enterprise API, meaning your data isn’t used to train AI models. It’s ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA certified for those who care about the technical details.

The AI engine is powered by GPT, Claude Sonnet, and Gemini. The battery lasts for up to 50 hours of continuous recording and 60 days on standby.

All of this is great, but normally, you’d still have to process those outputs further. Well, not anymore. With the new Plaud Note Pro, I set up a workflow, and instead of just getting mastermind notes or a transcript, I get a finished article alongside a ready-to-go social media post.

And that changes the game entirely.

How It Works in Practice

This is where your average voice recorder ends and Plaud begins.

Inside the app, you set up your own templates. A template is essentially a prompt that defines exactly what you want out of the recording—the structure, the tone, and the length. You create it once, and then you apply it to any recording with a single click. Pretty neat, right?

How do I handle this during Meet&Deal COMMUNITY masterminds? I always record the entire session. During the recording, I just press a button to mark a key moment—a feature called Press to Highlight. When the session ends, the recording automatically syncs to the app. I apply my article template, and moments later, I have a finished draft. I then drop that exact same content into my LinkedIn template.

Normally, this would take me hours. Now, it’s a matter of minutes and a few minor tweaks.

Here’s the template I use:

Prompt: Create a structured article in Czech from this Meet&Deal COMMUNITY mastermind recording. Ignore small talk, logistical notes, and technical issues. Focus exclusively on business insights. Structure: > 1) HEADLINE (catchy, 6–10 words) 2) LEAD PARAGRAPH (2–3 sentences, main idea) 3) BODY (3–5 sections with subheadings, 100–150 words each, specific insights from the discussion) 4) KEY TAKEAWAYS (3–5 bullet points) 5) CTA (linking back to the Meet&Deal COMMUNITY). Tone: Expert yet accessible, aimed at entrepreneurs with 10M+ in revenue. No fluff, just concrete facts.

One recording. Three outputs. Done in a few minutes.

As of 2026, they’ve added a new layer called Skills. These are complete AI workflows saved as a single click. You trigger them using a slash command directly in the interface. There are 15+ built-in skills, plus room for up to ten custom ones. No more rewriting prompts from scratch every time.

But What’s the Catch?

The transcription isn’t 100% perfect. If there’s a lot of background noise in the room or someone has a thick accent, errors can pop up in the transcript. You have to expect that.

Another thing is that Plaud runs on a subscription model. It processes 300 minutes a month for free, but after that, you have to pay. For some, a monthly payment model might get annoying over time. However, if you don’t want to be locked into one platform, you can always export the audio files and process them in a different AI tool.

And one last thing people often ask me about: In the Czech Republic, Act No. 127/2005 Coll. applies. Recording a call or meeting without the other party’s consent is a legal issue. I always state that I’m recording upfront, and I’ve never had a single person object to it.

Want a Plaud Too? Get It with a Discount

Plaud probably won’t transform your business overnight. But if you’re in meetings every day and attending various workshops, it’s a fantastic way to instantly extract concrete outputs based on a workflow you design yourself.

Make sense? If this sounds good to you, use the code ANDRE on the tygotec.cz website to get a 10% discount on your Plaud. Or check out my Instagram, where I’m currently running a giveaway.

Meet&Deal vol11 Rooftop Edition

After our epic December Christmas party (Meet&Deal Vol. 10 Xmas Edition), things went a bit quiet. But that doesn’t mean nothing was happening behind the scenes. My team and I have been hard at work on the next event and, as I mentioned in the intro, a few other parallel projects.

And now is the perfect time to let it all out. All at once. Naturally.

Why a Rooftop Edition for vol11? Because everything looks better from above. When you have a bird’s-eye view, interesting things happen. I’ve struck a deal with J&T Bank, and Meet&Deal Vol. 11 Rooftop Edition will take place in Prague, right on their private terrace.

When? On June 11th, 150 professionals from the CZ & SK business scene will gather. Over drinks, in a casual atmosphere with panoramic views of Prague, we’ll be discussing deals, collaborations, shared interests, and everything business (and non-business) related.

We’ve just launched the first wave of ticket sales, but I can already confirm you’ll be rubbing shoulders with Tomáš Braverman (CEO of Slevomat), Ondra Klega (CEO of eRockets), Josef Ošlejšek (CEO of go4.sk & go4.cz), Matej Karaba (Co-founder of Opinest s.r.o.), and a ton of other fascinating people.

The event partners are Shoptet Premium, RTB House, Movit Energy, and J&T Banka. A huge thanks to them—I’m incredibly excited for this.

Pro Tip: I highly recommend grabbing your tickets during this first wave, because prices will go up in the subsequent tiers. It’d be a shame to miss out, right?

Get Your Tickets on the New Meet&Deal Website

Alongside the event announcement, I’m launching a completely revamped Meet&Deal website. I ditched Wix and spent dozens, maybe hundreds, of hours vibecoding. The result is a fully custom solution that… well, why just describe it? Check out the website yourself and let me know what you think.

As you probably know from my articles and social media, vibecoding currently makes up a huge part of what I do. If you want to dive deeper into this topic, check out the article I recently wrote on vibecoding.

But it doesn’t stop there. I’m currently working on a user dashboard that will give registered attendees their own admin panel. You’ll be able to track your orders or even generate custom Meet&Deal graphics for your social media.

The goal of the website was to build a sophisticated, automated system that also carries the core message of Meet&Deal:

• COMMUNITY
• Events
• Partnerships

Meet&Deal is no longer just a few events a year. It’s a comprehensive ecosystem where the highest value lies in interpersonal relationships, networking, and personal growth. I’ve already written about the COMMUNITY here on the blog. It’s the next level that seamlessly connects to our events. And partnerships? That’s what this is all built on. With the right partners behind you, you can achieve things that might otherwise just stay on paper.

P.S. You can also find other upcoming events on the website that we are planning for after Vol. 11.

Multifunctional Merch. Wait, What?

You might have spotted me wearing Meet&Deal merch at the Vol. 10 Xmas Edition, or maybe you even won some there. But that was just a teaser.

I’ve taken this to the next level too, creating a limited-edition run of multifunctional merch. What does that mean? On the t-shirts and hoodies, alongside our brand claim, you’ll find a pre-printed name tag that you can actually write on.

When you show up to an event wearing the merch, you won’t even need a physical lanyard or badge. Besides the tees and hoodies, I’ve also designed a snapback cap featuring the Meet&Deal logo and claim.

Check out the photos shot by Polly Raye and let me know your thoughts. And don’t forget—you can add merch directly to your ticket order and pick it up at the event, at one of our Meet&Deal COMMUNITY sessions, or I can ship it to you by arrangement.

That’s a Lot to Digest, Right?

This isn’t the end; it’s just the beginning. I highly recommend not dragging your feet on tickets, because they are already starting to disappear. The merch won’t be for everyone either, as each drop is strictly limited edition.

Grab your ticket on the new Meet&Deal website

Want to be part of Meet&Deal outside of the events? Join our COMMUNITY, where we meet regularly, learn, connect with a top-tier network, and push each other forward both professionally and personally.

Even before vol11, we’ll be meeting up on April 20th for Vibecoding Session vol3, April 30th for Driving Rohan, and May 6th for an “Ideamaking” mastermind with Daniel Klečka. After the Rooftop Edition, we’ll see each other again on June 23rd for a “B2B Strategy and Branding” mastermind hosted by Jakub Kantor.

See you there?!

So, what exactly did I achieve from the other side of the world in just two months?

Vibe… what? It All Started with a Problem

In the beginning, there was no grand vision of me pumping out functional apps from the beach in a matter of hours. It started with a simple, annoying problem.

For our Meet&Deal project, we needed a way to bulk-remove backgrounds from photos of people attending our events. Graphic designers were quoting absurd prices for this routine task, and I started getting frustrated that I had to keep paying someone for something so trivial.

There had to be a way to do it quickly, cheaply, and ideally, automatically. So, I decided to try building my own app for it.

We were in Thailand at the time. I had free time, a solid internet connection, and AI tools. Within a few days, I realized two major things:

1. It’s actually possible.
2. Once you start, a whole new world of opportunities opens up.

From that moment on, I went all in on vibecoding.

Hundreds of Hours and Multiple Projects

Over the last two months, I’ve “vibecoded” for hundreds of hours. The result isn’t just one experimental project, but several fully functional assets that, until recently, would have required weeks of developer time and budgets in the tens of thousands of crowns (and I’m probably underestimating that).

The Transformation of My Personal Blog My website andrekohout.cz went through a massive overhaul. I made it completely bilingual, which included translating and indexing over 120 blog articles. The whole process took a few hours of my time and a couple of dollars in AI API calls.

Redesigning NetworkingAkce.cz on a Dime My other project, NetworkingAkce.cz, has a similar story. The original version of this site cost roughly 40,000 CZK to build. Thanks to vibecoding, I managed to:

• Completely redesign the platform.
• Rebuild the functionality for paid users.
• Add advanced search features.
• Create a custom admin dashboard.
• Automate the aggregation of new events.

Today, the system automatically checks over 120 sources daily to pull in new networking events. All of this costs me just a few hours of my time and a few bucks a month.

Meet&Deal is Changing the Game

Another thing I’ve wanted to do for a long time was transform our social media strategy and the entire concept of Meet&Deal.

I didn’t want our content to just be boring announcements that an event is coming or an event happened. I wanted to turn it into a real media platform for business professionals.

Vibecoding allowed me to build an internal app that monitors dozens of media outlets every half hour. If news drops about a deal, investment, or acquisition, the AI automatically rewrites the article into our brand’s tone of voice. After I approve it, the system generates the graphics and the social media copy.

The next step? Publishing it across our networks with a single click.

The Backend We Always Needed

Speaking of Meet&Deal, I’m also working on a brand-new website.

It won’t just be a simple frontend for buying tickets. I want a robust backend to manage guest lists, graphics, content, and all the other moving parts we currently have scattered across different tools. When is it dropping? Stay tuned. You’ll hear about it soon.

The Biggest Shift: Who Are the Developers Now?

The most important takeaway here isn’t just one specific project. It’s the shift in mindset.

In the past, I was 100% reliant on developers for websites and apps. The moment I wanted to tweak or build anything, I had to message someone, wait for their availability, and pay a hefty invoice.

Today, that 100% has dropped to about 5 to 10%. And even then, it’s mostly just when I want support from someone who has tackled a highly specific, complex issue before. I handle the rest myself with AI.

I don’t know how to code. But when I don’t know something, Claude Code does. I work with it locally in my terminal and use it to build everything from websites and automations to small internal apps.

Will Vibecoding Save You Time? Well…

Vibecoding has one very interesting paradox. We all assume it’s going to save us time. But that’s not entirely true.

The time you save using AI is almost immediately invested into other things you want to streamline, automate, or build. Instead of having more free time, you suddenly just have more projects running.

But honestly? It is one of the most fun and creative ways to work I’ve experienced in years. You should try it, too.

Start Vibecoding Today

If this topic sparks your interest, I have one simple recommendation for you: Start small.

Build a simple website. Or a tiny app for a task you do every day. Once you grasp the basic principles of communicating with the AI, you’ll naturally start adding more features and tackling more complex builds.

Suddenly, you’ll find yourself accessing data and possibilities you would never have reached on your own.

While it might not replace standard SaaS tools completely, vibecoding absolutely changes the rules of the game and how we think about development.

How to Get Started? Here’s a Guide

During our last vibecoding session in the Meet&Deal COMMUNITY, we realized something. Wait—Meet&Deal COMMUNITY? I hinted earlier that Meet&Deal is changing the game, and this just proves it.

I built the community website using vibecoding, too. The COMMUNITY is made up of people who share one common trait: they want to learn, grow personally and professionally, and are deadly serious about their business. Check it out. It might be exactly what you’re looking for.

But back to the point.

The biggest hurdle for beginners isn’t the vibecoding itself. Most often, the biggest bottleneck is just getting Claude Coderunning locally on your machine. That’s why I put together a simple, step-by-step document that will guide you through it.

👉 You can find the guide here: mitdyl.cz/vibecoding

You might just discover exactly what I did: once you start vibecoding, you completely change how you think about what is possible to create.

Either way… Go for it.

But what if we could go deeper?

• What if you had 24/7 access to the most powerful business network in the country, complete with warm introductions and seamless matchmaking?
• What if you could join an inner circle to learn about highly curated topics and meet up between the main events?
• What if you could surround yourself with ambitious, like-minded professionals who are just as driven to grow as you are?

Welcome to the Meet&Deal COMMUNITY.

Beyond Events: It Has Always Been About the People

When I hosted the very first Meet&Deal event in 2023, I knew it wouldn’t stop at just one night. But eventually, I realized it shouldn’t stop at just events, period.

Meet&Deal has always been about putting the right people in the right place at the right time. But why wait for the next event to make that happen?

The Meet&Deal COMMUNITY was created as the natural evolution of the entire project. It’s a space where you stay connected with others between events. But it’s much more than that. Imagine an environment where you are constantly surrounded by people tackling the exact same challenges you are—building companies, hunting for new partnerships, scaling marketing, driving sales, implementing tech, or growing a team.

• Sometimes, you just need a quick piece of advice.
• Sometimes, you need a recommendation for the exact person who can help you push your project across the finish line.
• Sometimes, you need to reach someone who is normally inaccessible, or who would never pick up the phone without a warm introduction.
• And sometimes, you just want to grab a coffee (or jump on a call) with someone who truly understands your daily grind because they live it too.

This is exactly what the Meet&Deal COMMUNITY facilitates. It is a meeting ground for individuals who want to elevate themselves both professionally and personally, and who thrive on surrounding themselves with people operating on that same frequency.

Contacts Don’t Close Deals. Relationships Do.

A contact is not a relationship. Anyone who understands this knows that active networking is the ultimate key to growth. Sometimes, showing up to a networking mixer three times a year just isn’t enough.

Real value is created through repeated interaction. It happens when you know exactly what someone does, what they are currently struggling with, and how you can mutually help each other.

The Meet&Deal COMMUNITY pushes this principle further.

You are no longer relying on chance encounters at quarterly events. You have an active, 24/7 network at your fingertips. A network that shares experiences, recommends top-tier contacts, actively seeks collaborations, and frequently launches entirely new ventures together.

Often, it only takes one single message to close a massive deal.

Alongside tailored matchmaking, we host regular educational sessions on curated topics—ranging from AI and vibecoding to social media strategy, influencer marketing, leadership, and customer retention. We also meet up informally: over a beer, on the golf course, in the sauna, or online. Zero pressure, pure value.

The Insider Advantage: Why Early Adopters Win

By stepping inside, you gain access to people you would normally only meet by pure luck—if at all. You get a front-row seat to opportunities that never even make it to the public eye. When was the last time you had the chance to meet someone who could fundamentally change your business, knowing with absolute certainty they wouldn’t blow you off in the first five seconds?

Why should you join right now? Because as the community grows, its value multiplies. The more brilliant minds we have inside, the more powerful the network becomes.

That is exactly why our pricing model rewards those who take action early. Once our set capacity fills up, the membership price will increase.

It’s simple: the earlier you join, the better your conditions are. For life.

Who Belongs in the Meet&Deal COMMUNITY?

Let’s be clear: the Meet&Deal COMMUNITY is not for everyone. And not everyone is right for the Meet&Deal COMMUNITY.

I have built an expert ecosystem designed specifically for business owners, top-tier specialists, and ambitious professionals. This means it only makes sense for people who genuinely believe that relationships are the lifeblood of business. It’s for people who want to grow, learn, share their expertise, and actively open doors for others.

If you are the type of person who just sits back and expects things to fall into your lap, this community probably isn’t for you. But if you know that the best things in business are built between people, then you already know exactly why you’re reading this.

Are You Serious About Your Business?

The Meet&Deal COMMUNITY is the next step. It’s the place where your networking efforts yield real, compounding results every single day.

Want in? Check out the COMMUNITY website, choose your membership tier, and join us. Just keep one thing in mind:

Once we hit capacity, the price goes up.

So the question isn’t if you’ll join. It’s when.
