🕣 **Time:** **9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.** 💲 **Cover Fee:** **Free** 📍 **Location: Three Fields Coffee** 12 W Main St, Alhambra, CA 91801 🚗 **Parking:** Street parking & small lot parking available 👥 **Age Group:** Late 20s – Early 40s **Description:** Join us for a cozy, low-key Sunday morning meetup for folks from Andy's board-game community, pickleball community, kickball community, and mahjong community who want to connect beyond the game table. Think friendly conversation, a few thoughtful prompts, and a chance to get to know each other a bit more—without any pressure. While we do enjoy deeper conversations, this meetup is meant to stay casual and uplifting. It’s not a structured support group or group therapy, and we’re not expecting anyone to share anything heavy or deeply personal. If it’s your first time at a coffee meetup, you can absolutely keep it simple—come say hi, jump into a light social game, and ease into the conversation at your own pace. We’ll kick things off with light icebreakers and conversation starters like **Monikers**, **We’re Not Really Strangers**, **The { } And**, and other easy social games. No long, intense strategy games—just something fun that helps spark laughs, curiosity, and a few meaningful moments. Afterwards, we’ll move into open-ended conversation prompts similar to the style from previous events, such as: * Do you agree with what is happening in the Middle East right now? * What makes us tick? * Should you ever tell secrets to your co-workers? * What makes someone truly interesting? * If you could relive one ordinary day, which one would it be? * Expect good coffee, friendly people, and meaningful conversations that make early Sunday mornings something to look forward to. ### **The "Hobbyist & Non-Affiliation" Disclaimer** > **Disclaimer & Notice of Non-Affiliation** > This event, **"Noteworthy Coffee Roundtable,"** is a private, non-commercial community gathering hosted by a local hobbyist.

Scaling SaaS Right Now: Lessons from the Frontlines

Scaling SaaS Right Now: Lessons from the Frontlines

Fri, Sep 11, 3:15 PM
From Friday Coffee Meetup
4.8

Today’s environment is forcing SaaS founders and operators to rethink not just what they build—but how they build, deliver, and scale it. Join us for a candid, discussion-driven session with Bryan Walley, CEO & Co-founder of Forward Inheritance, as we explore what it takes to grow a SaaS venture in today’s rapidly shifting landscape. Bryan is has built Forward Inheritance, a platform designed to bring clarity and structure to one of the most complex and emotionally charged areas families face—inheritance and legacy planning. The idea didn’t start as a business—it started as a personal need. Faced with navigating estate planning within his own family, Bryan saw firsthand the lack of simple, secure, and transparent tools to organize information, communicate clearly, and align across generations. So he built one. Today, Forward is evolving that solution into a broader platform that helps families move from confusion and avoidance to clarity and preparedness—combining secure document management, financial tools, and guided collaboration. In this session, Bryan will share how his team is approaching: * Building and positioning a SaaS product in a nuanced, human-centered problem space * Rethinking product delivery and user experience in today’s market * Navigating the intersection of fintech, family dynamics, and long-term planning * Lessons learned while scaling in an environment that demands adaptability This won’t be a one-way presentation—it’s an opportunity to exchange ideas, compare approaches, and learn from others navigating similar challenges. Whether you're building, scaling, advising, investing—or simply interested in how SaaS is evolving—this session offers a practical and timely perspective on what’s working right now. **Networking** Come early to connect with fellow founders, technologists, creatives, and community members. Friday Coffee Meetup is as much about the people in the room as it is about the conversation on stage. *** ## **About the Speaker** Bryan Walley is CEO & Co-founder of Forward Inheritance and a technology and business leader with a proven track record of building and delivering software-driven solutions across a range of industries, including financial services. His experience spans the full lifecycle of innovation—from early concept and product development through go-to-market execution and operational scale.

AI Video in Real Production: Revisions, Consistency & Cost

AI Video in Real Production: Revisions, Consistency & Cost

Wed, Sep 16, 1:30 AM
From LA Media Agency Meetup Group

​Small in-person roundtable for creators, agency leaders and creative heads working with AI video. ​AI video models are getting dramatically better. ​Generating the first clip is no longer the hardest part. ​The harder questions start when you try to turn those generations into something you would actually publish, use in a campaign or deliver to a client. ​ **How do you keep characters and products consistent across scenes?** ​**What happens when one shot needs changing but the rest of the video works?** ​**How many rerolls does it take before an inexpensive generation becomes an expensive production?** ​**How do agencies handle client revisions when every new generation can produce something different?** ​**And what workflows are actually working** **for people producing AI video regularly?** ​This is a small, informal roundtable for people dealing with those questions in real creative work. ​We’ll compare what people are learning about: * ​Character, product and visual consistency * ​Revisions and regeneration * ​Creative control vs. model randomness * ​Production costs and wasted generations * ​Story and scene continuity * ​Client feedback and approval cycles * ​Combining different AI video models and tools * ​Moving from an impressive AI clip to a finished, publishable video ​Who should attend ​This will be most useful for: * ​**Creators and filmmakers** already experimenting with AI video * ​**Agency founders and owners** exploring AI-generated creative for clients * ​**Creative and production leaders** * ​**Creative technologists and AI filmmakers** * ​**Brand-side marketing, growth and creative teams** producing video internally * ​Small teams where one or two people are effectively running the whole creative-production workflow ​You don't need to be an AI-video expert. ​But this is intended for people who are **actually creating, producing or seriously exploring AI video**, rather than a general introduction to generative AI. ​Format ​No panels. ​No long presentations. ​No AI Video 101. If you’ve burned through $500+ in AI-video credits, rerolled the same scene 20 times, or delivered AI video to an actual audience or client, this discussion is probably for you. ​And no hour-long product pitch disguised as an educational event. ​We'll have around **10 people around one table** and use a few practical questions to get the conversation started. ​The objective is to compare workflows, failures, tools and lessons with other people figuring out the same production problems. ​Drinks & appetizers ​**Your first drink and shared appetizers are complimentary.** ​Additional food and drinks will be available to order individually.
