Yesterday, our Green Bay TuesdaysTogether group for The Rising Tide Society gathered at Thrive Nutrition. Usually we meet the second Tuesday of the month but because of my crazy travel schedule, we rescheduled to the third Tuesday. The wonderful Kali from Thrive graciously opened her space to us, made yummy snacks, and even prepared adorable little gift bags for all the members! We sipped iced tea and discussed the importance of collaborating with creatives in your area. Members openly shared their triumphs, questions, and struggles with collaboration. We offered our thoughts and pieces of advice for one another and talked about our biggest dreams of collaborations for our futures. I was so impressed with how big everyone was dreaming and I just know they will be able to accomplish anything they set their minds to!

Leading these meetups always brings me so much joy. All the work to plan these fun meetups is so worth it when I know people are benefiting from them! Like Jamie of Jamie Malone – Inbound Marketing Consulting, who attended her first meetup yesterday, “I had the most impactful two hours of my career today. I’m ELATED that I had the pleasure of meeting everyone. I’m truly excited about the opportunity that the future holds for everyone that was there today. What an incredible group.”

Or Alyssa of Alyssa and Anna Fine Jewelry who has been a part of the group since our first meetup last June, “Love being a part of the Rising Tide Society. These people keep me inspired. I drive almost an hour to attend meet ups by Shaunae Teske because she’s such an amazing creative, role model, and friend.”

Statements like these make me want to cry big tears of joy! THIS is what community over competition is all about!!

Thanks to the amazing Kali Murphy for being such a fabulous host!! Love this girl!!
