SUMMARY:Social Media That Sells: Build Traffic\, Leads & Online Funnels
DESCRIPTION:Most business owners chase followers. The ones who win chase engagement\, because followers don’t buy. Engaged communities do. \n\n\n\nJoin Jocelyn Ho of Rare Plant Fairy and Jason Brown of The Brown Report\, alongside Detroit entrepreneurs Brian Cole and Alexis Cole\, for a no-fluff learning event built to help you turn attention into revenue. \n\n\n\nJocelyn Ho did over $1M in organic sales before she even had a website.No ads. No funnel. Just Instagram and private Facebook groups\, where customers typed “sold” in the comments and she shipped from her guest bedroom. She grew an audience of 250\,000+ followers\, was invited by Meta to share how she did it\, and will tell you why followers were never the point. She’ll teach you how to build a real community\, drive engagement that converts\, and turn an audience into buyers—without paying for reach. \n\n\n\nJason Brown of The Brown Report brings the other half of the playbook: paid traffic\, search\, and conversion. With a combined audience of 130\,000+ across YouTube\, Instagram\, and Facebook\, Jason will show you how to use paid ads\, funnels\, and search-driven strategies to generate leads and close sales on demand. \n\n\n\nBrian and Alexis Cole bring a grounded\, real-world perspective from building and growing businesses in Detroit\, sharing insights on how authentic connection\, brand presence\, and community engagement translate into real growth locally and beyond. \n\n\n\nTogether\, they’ll show you how to: \n\n\n\n\nBuild an audience that actually buys\, not just scrolls\n\n\n\nMove past vanity metrics and focus on what drives revenue\n\n\n\nUse organic content to create trust and demand\n\n\n\nLayer in paid ads and funnels to scale what’s working\n\n\n\nConvert attention into leads\, customers\, and revenue\n\n\n\n\nThis event is for entrepreneurs\, creators\, coaches\, consultants\, and service-based business owners who are done guessing and ready to use social media with a clear\, proven strategy. \n\n\n\nCome for the tactics. Leave with a system.

SUMMARY:Velocity Mentorship Event - Cybersecurity in 2026
DESCRIPTION:EO Detroit Members\, Accelerators & SAPs\, \n\n\n\nThe AI Security Gap: What Business Leaders Need to Know June 18 | 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM | Roadside B&G\, Bloomfield Township \n\n\n\nLast week\, hackers took Canvas offline at Harvard\, Princeton\, Columbia\, and thousands of other schools during finals week. The group behind it threatened to leak data on millions of students unless Instructure paid up. \n\n\n\nThat’s the new normal. AI is accelerating both sides\, what we can build and what bad actors can break. \n\n\n\nOur own board member Rob Cote\, founder of Security Vitals\, is hosting a working lunch on what’s actually happening in 2026: ransomware\, AI-powered attacks\, and the kinds of vulnerabilities most companies don’t know they have until it’s too late. \n\n\n\nYou’ll leave with a clearer read on where your business is exposed and what to do about it before it becomes a board-level problem. \n\n\n\nLunch at Roadside\, real conversation with the room\, and a topic every founder in this chapter should be thinking about right now.
