I was born with a built-in best friend. Growing up as a twin, I learned early what it feels like to have someone in your corner. My twin sister was there for the birthday cakes, the theme park selfies, football season and my graduation. She still shows up for me today, and I'm so grateful for her. She taught me that the best things in life happen when you're actually together. Showing up. Sitting across the table. Cheering each other on in every season. That's the heart behind everything I build as a founder. GetNetworked, TECH SERIES, Iron City Nights and every activation we create and support all come from one belief: nobody should have to grow alone. Put the right people in the same room and they lift each other up. If you've ever come to one of our events, thank you for being part of that room. You're the reason I keep building. Who's your built-in person? Tag them below and tell them you appreciate them 👇

🙌 NIGHT OF WORSHIP | TOMORROW! Hey y’all! Our church is hosting a Night of Worship tomorrow, and I’d love for you to join us! These nights have been pivotal in my walk with the Lord, and I think it’d be powerful to come together as a community and worship! Whether it’s your first worship night or you’ve been to many, come as you are! Bring your spouse, invite some friends, and let’s worship together! 🙏 📍 Elevate City Church — 7770 Roswell Rd, Sandy Springs ⏰ Meet at 6:45 PM | Worship starts at 7 PM RSVP here: https://app.getnetworked.com/event/night-of-worship?r=aaaaab Let’s come expectant! 🔥

Grateful for a night centered on the Lord, people, and a vision bigger than ourselves. 🙏🏼 God Behind Bars is bringing the Gospel into prisons, supporting families, and helping break cycles that can impact generations. I’m especially thankful for the way they’ve already supported what we’re building through Iron City Nights, including our Iron Sharpen Iron gatherings, and I’m excited to keep sowing into their mission. Breaking cycles. Building legacies. #GodBehindBars #IronSharpensIron #FaithInAction #KingdomWork

30+ men showed up before sunrise today. Not just to train, but to sharpen one another. Too many men are walking through life alone. This morning was about creating space for discipline, fellowship, accountability, faith, and real brotherhood. That’s the kind of connection we believe technology should help create. Not replace the room, but help bring the right people into it. Real camaraderie. Real conversations. Real brotherhood. Iron sharpens iron. Proverbs 27:17 ⚒️ Grateful to @godbehindbars for partnering with us on this month’s gathering. Powered by @getnetworked #IronSharpensIron #Brotherhood #FaithAndFitness #ChristianMen #GetNetworked

🚨 ATLANTA TECH WEEK — WE’RE LIVE TONIGHT! 🚀 Tonight from 6–8 PM in Buckhead, we’re bringing together founders, investors, operators, builders, professionals, and business leaders for the GetNetworked Mixer: Atlanta Tech Week Edition. But we’re not just putting people in a room and calling it networking.

The goal is simple: help people walk into the room already knowing some of the most relevant people they should connect with. The right people. The right room. The right introductions. 📍 Habitat Kitchen & Bar | Buckhead ⏰ Tonight | 6–8 PM 🎟️ Complimentary admission RSVP through GetNetworked.

This morning reminded me why I’m building GetNetworked. More than 30 men showed up before sunrise to train, recover, share breakfast, and have real conversations. Technology can help bring people together, but it will never replace being in the room. Grateful for everyone who showed up, for Leadership Ministries supporting the event, and for Grow or Die leading a great breakout. Community is built by showing up. Proverbs 27:17 ⚡️ #Community #Leadership #Founder #GetNetworked

Tomorrow night, I'm sitting down with Jonathan Gonzalez, Global Controller at Microsoft, for an executive fireside on the part of AI nobody likes to talk about: what it actually costs, what the ROI really is, and what it takes to scale inside a real organization. AI is moving fast — but the real opportunity isn't in the tools. It's in the rooms where leaders can be honest about what's working, what's overhyped, what's expensive, and what scaling actually demands. That's what Tech Series AI: The Economics of AI — ROI, Costs & Scaling Reality is built for. Using GetNetworked, we'll turn the room into a curated in-person networking experience — our algorithm strategically connects attendees based on who they are, what they're building, and who they should meet. Better rooms create better conversations. Better conversations create better opportunities. Complimentary admission, limited capacity — and tomorrow comes fast. 📍 Life Time Work Sandy Springs 📅 Tomorrow, June 18 ⏰ 5:30–7:30 PM 🎟 Complimentary admission, limited capacity RSVP: https://app.getnetworked.com/event/-the-economics-of-ai-roi-costs-and-scaling-reality Get out.

AI conversations are everywhere. But the real value happens when the right people get in the room.

Can’t wait for this event today! Who’s going? @vamorisingprofessionals

Atlanta is quickly emerging as a top 5 tech ecosystem in the U.S. And you can feel it in rooms like this. After attending the State of the ATL Tech Ecosystem event, one thing stood out: There is real alignment between founders, operators, and city leadership around building long-term infrastructure for growth. That alignment is what separates growing ecosystems from great ones. Grateful to be in the room with leaders like Donnie Beamer and others helping shape what’s next for Atlanta. As a founder building here, it reinforced a core belief: The opportunity isn’t just to build in Atlanta it’s to build with Atlanta. This is a big part of why I’m building GetNetworked to make these rooms more accessible and create stronger connections across the ecosystem. The next phase of Atlanta’s growth will be built through real collaboration. Excited for what’s ahead. #AtlantaTech #StartupAtlanta #Founders #EntrepreneurLife #Networking
