A little more than a month ago, Substance made a choice to take part in the New Communicators series of events. Truth be told, we did a bit more than take part… we kind of encouraged the idea, promoted it, and organized the Show & Tell event and the Love of Cycling event during the New Communicators series. I missed the…

Show and Tell: the New Communicators edition recap

The New Communicators – October 28 / 29 / 30
A little less than three months ago, a group of people sat down, had a cup of coffee, and came up with an idea. Two months ago, this idea had a name: the New Communicators. And now we’re about a week away from this idea being put into action as a “three-day series of events intended to inspire and educate on new…

Creating Conversations Through the Love of Bicycles
Yes, we’re already doing an event for The New Communicators. But why stop at one event when we could do two? Which brings us to our second New Communicators event: Creating Conversations Through the Love of Bicycles There are many people who love bicycles. But how many can take this love and turn it into a business? And once they’ve started their…

The New Communicators
At Friday’s Coffee with Likemind, we had a rather big announcement: The New Communicators New Communicators are compelled to engage in conversation. They stand taller and stride farther when traversing the current media landscape. They are a mixture of digital and analog. Their message is everything interactive. Everything transmissive. Communicating is a give-and-take, speaking-and-listening, and New Communicators utilize a mixture of new…

Coffee with Likemind – August 21st

As of today, Friday looks to be a spectacular way to close out the outdorr coffee season. Based on the great group and engaging conversation we…

Taking matters into our own hands.
The most interesting subject discussed at Coffee with Likemind a couple weeks ago wasn’t the Noseys. It wasn’t the Roseys. The most interesting – and important – conversation was about responsibility and empowerment. It was about creating our own future. It wasn’t about what we’re saying, but what we can, should and must do. From the conversation came an amazing idea:…
