Had a great time at the Naples Business Expo! It was so fun visiting my Grow peeps and checking out their booths. Networking is even better when you’re there to support & visit with your friends. 😂 Everyone had amazing displays and goodies—and you know I’m all about the free swag! 💁🏻‍♀️

Had the honor of attending Alive Coffee Co. ribbon-cutting ceremony today! This is more than just a coffee shop—it’s the result of hard work and dedication. Local & family owned. Congratulations Brendan and Vanessa Malone on this incredible achievement. And of course their fellow Grow members were there to support 👏🏼🫶🏼☕️
If you can, stop by their grand opening this Saturday, October 10, 2026!

Networking 101: having those one-on-ones and building meaningful connections.

I had a great one-on-one with Landon Soulard this afternoon. He’s not only an excellent realtor with JRW—we also discovered we have some mutual connections and shared plenty of laughs. 😊

This morning, I had the pleasure of chatting with Autumn Hiles from Gutter Patrol of SWFL.Let’s just say we did more girl talk and laughing than networking!

I may be over-caffeinated, but it was a great day getting to know two of my fellow GROW Business Network Team Estero members.

A sweet preview of Alive Coffee Co. after today’s Team Estero Grow Meeting! ☕️💧 This cute and convenient spot on US 41 in Estero has the coffee & water game on point.

We’re so excited for the Ribbon cutting this Thursday, October 8, and the Grand opening this Saturday, October 10! I can’t wait to see what my fellow Grow members and power couple, Brendan and Vanessa Malone, are brewing up! 💛

Thank you, Joe the Home Pro Home Inspection Company, for hosting such a great lunch and learn today! It’s always valuable to stay informed about the latest industry updates and changes—in this case, wind mitigation inspections—so we can provide the best possible information to our clients at Ardent Insurance Group.

Keep perfecting your craft!

It was also wonderful reconnecting with, Jason Armstead - Southwest Florida Realtor—we go way back to our CrossFit days. Always great seeing mi Peruanita amiguita, Janett Benoit, and meeting Grace 😊

It was a pleasure meeting the owners—and amazing ladies—of The Girls Packing & Moving. They’ve accomplished so much in such a short time and were lovely to have at our table!

Thank you, Cliff-Angela Hamm-Brand and LMCU, for inviting me to my first City Lead luncheon at Ocean Church! Bill Mitchell gave an excellent talk on “Asking Good Questions”, filled with great insights and reminders about how thoughtful questions can turn a mundane conversation into a meaningful one. Also, loved learning about what the Immokalee Foundation is doing in our community.

And look who I spotted—some fellow GROW members! We are everywhere.

Me & my cute mascot🫶🏼 Thanks ChatGPT😀
—————Wanna try it for yourself :
ChatGPT prompt: Give my personality a mascot using what you know about me and the uploaded photo for my appearance, invent a funny cartoon mascot that represents my personality. Feature a glamorous cartoon version of me posing beside the mascot as if we are an iconic duo. The mascot can be an animal, creature, object, or completely imaginary character. Give it one small accessory or detail that connects it to me. Add its name and one short tagline explaining its energy. Keep everything else minimal. White background, clean composition, polished colorful cartoon artwork. Do not ask me what the mascot should be. You decide.

I had the pleasure of attending the Estero Grow Group presentation this morning and hearing Brian Davis, owner of Complete Construction Group, share what makes his company unique. I’ve known Brian for several years and have enjoyed watching his business flourish—a success I strongly believe is rooted in his faith, leadership, transparency, and commitment to doing what’s best for his clients. I highly recommend Brian and Complete Construction Group to anyone looking to have remodeling work done right.GROW Business Network
