High Talent Creatives Resource & Networking Group
How it was Started
This group was started after a lunch with Bryan Mattimore (Author, 99% Inspiration, American Management Association Book of the Year) who conducts new product ideation seminars across the country. He expressed a need for a group of talented professionals to bounce ideas off, and help evaluate and shape new concepts/ideas. We have met with leading entrepreneurs in southwest Connecticut and the New york area - many of whom have been recognized nationally for the success of their businesses.
The HTCs (High Talent Creatives) was some of the best fun I've had in months! The BoatTest presentation was great and highly interactive. Some great contacts and ideas for my property management business.
