Fake Gurus and False Promises Aside…

Two weekends ago I took a business trip to Atlanta for the Second Annual Invest Fest Conference hosted by Earn Your Leisure, the biggest financial literacy podcast, which was sponsored in part by BET and Harvey Ventures amongst many others.
More than 12,000 people attended the weekend of assorted activities ranging from expert-led discussions focused on investing, entrepreneurship, real estate, and financial literacy to live musical performances by known celebrities like T-pain, Rick Ross, and Queen Naija.

This opportunity came about to me by my Chief Financial Officer bringing the conference to my attention. She had heard about this conference for Investors and Entrepreneurs on the radio during the Steve Harvey Show.
Not only was Steve Harvey going to be present and speak to the attendees, but Tyler Perry would be there, Eric Thomas, “billionaire owner of Chick-fil-a” Dan T. Cathy, “billionaire real estate entrepreneur” Donahue Peebles, Angela Yee from “The Breakfast Club”, and many many more.
When we looked at our available budget, we could afford a VIP entry which was reasonably priced, a round trip flight, and a weekend stay at the Sheraton Atlanta, plus Uber travel fees while going to and from locations.
In the past I have taken a few trips to Atlanta with other business partners and collaborators where we drove our own personal vehicles or rentals, but this time I was flying, and I would be primarily focused on my own company and brand growth…

My home base is in New Jersey, but me and my executive team have been discussing business expansions down to Atlanta, one of the greatest cities for upcoming influencers, artists, and entrepreneurs.
Since I already had exposure to the culture, it only made sense for us to start creating a bridge between our area (New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia) and the South.
Finally it was time to put my team up front.
After I landed and checked into my hotel, I made my way to VIP Night which began around 6pm on Friday.
I knew that I would have a prime opportunity to be able to network within an event that hosted over 1,000 high ticket entrepreneurs, investors, and other talented individuals.
If you went to this conference and didn’t come out with a new client, an opportunity, a cash flowing business, a new idea, or some form of new motivation, you missed out on the whole weekend.
To start off, while I enjoyed the VIP styled entrees and sponsored drink by D'usse, I was able to connect with a few influencers, artists, and photographers with social media accounts ranging from 15k to 275k.
Knowing how social media works, the more accounts that I have in my network with above 15k in followers, the higher value my social network will have. Even though I knew this, I would hear exactly how these numbers affect my brand on the next day… Tonight, we dance.
The music by DJ Che’ Mack was on point…

Live performances and fireside conversations by great entrepreneurs and celebrities like Terrence J, Kenny Burns, and others kept the night flowing with excitement and impactful information.
Although I didn’t get a chance to stay for the whole VIP Night, I was able to get back to my room with enough time to prepare for the next couple of days ahead.
Saturday.
This was the big day.
Keynote speakers, vendors, and massive networking opportunities.
How could you miss this moment?
When I arrived, I could see exactly what 12,000 people looked like…

Massive.
More than 1,000 of those were VIP and up, so now I was sure that I could find the chances I was searching for.
Before I could really network, I decided to take the time and sit in on the keynote presentations. I learned some great things which I will share in another post, but here are a few things to consider:
5 Takeaways from Invest Fest 2022 (click)
I gave you the takeaways now because even though the conference gave its value, the real value was in my own actions.
Saturday I did a lot of connecting and networking in between sessions, the main connection was with a Public Relations Firm based outside of Atlanta.
This goes exactly with my plans on expanding BRIODS down to the south.
With our company having an insider in a P.R. Firm, we can help catalyze the growth of the influencers, artists, and entrepreneurs that are developing their career through BRIODS.
Having a direct line into the field of media and publications creates a solid funnel for our organization to grow at an even higher rate, creating a fortified bottomline.
Me working as VP of Operations for the firm allows a great advantage and opens up capital that will be applied to the growth of BRIODS and its internal operations.

These progressions are extremely exciting and I would love to offer you the opportunity to gain access to the results of my accomplishments.
