Hi everyone,

Our May Hive Meetup is happening this Thursday, and we wanted to send one final reminder before the event.

This month’s conversation will focus on:

Mental Health, Hiring & Team Building

We’ll be talking about the real side of growth:

building the right team
managing pressure and responsibility
protecting your mental clarity while scaling
and navigating the challenges that come with leadership and business growth

This won’t be surface-level networking or polished highlight reels.

Just honest conversations with people building businesses, leading teams, and figuring things out in real time together.

📅 Thursday, May 7
⏰ 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM
📍 Heist Brewery

RSVP here:
https://www.meetup.com/the-hive-clt-entrepreneurs-network/events/311382034/

If this season of business has felt heavier than expected lately,
this may be a room worth being in.

Looking forward to seeing everyone Thursday.

What are the 5 things your business needs most right now?

More clarity?
Better connections?
Momentum?
Support?
A stronger team?

Funny enough… most people try to find all of that alone.

That’s why we created this.

Not just another networking event.
A room full of people building, struggling, learning, growing, and figuring things out in real time together.

Because sometimes one conversation can:

unlock a new opportunity
shift your perspective
introduce you to the right person
or remind you you’re not carrying all of this alone

So before you scroll past the word search…

See which words stand out to you first. 👀

There’s probably a reason.

And who knows…
you might find exactly what you’ve been looking for in the room next Thursday.

Comment below the 5 words that stood out to you first 👇

Most people don’t notice when it starts.

At first, growth feels good.
More deals. More opportunities. More momentum.

Then something shifts.

You’re making more decisions than ever.
You’re dealing with people problems you didn’t expect.
And somehow… the business you built for freedom starts to feel heavier.

Not because you’re doing something wrong.
But because now, everything depends on your team.

If that’s been on your mind lately, take a look at this:

That’s exactly what we’re getting into at The Hive this May.

Not the highlight reel.
Not the polished version.

The real side of:

hiring the right people (and what happens when you don’t)
building a team you can actually rely on
managing the pressure that comes with growth
and protecting your mental clarity while you scale

Because the truth is,
you don’t build a strong business alone.

But building the right team?
That’s where most people get stuck.

If you’ve been feeling the weight of growth lately…
or you know your next level requires better people around you…

this is a room you want to be in.

Growth without sustainability isn't success.

That's the conversation we're having at The Hive on May 7.

Mental health. Hiring. Team dynamics.

The stuff that doesn't make it onto the highlight reel but determines whether your business and you actually make it long-term.

This is for founders who are scaling and starting to feel the pressure that comes with it.

Not a networking pitch night.

A real conversation in a room full of people building real things.

📅 Thursday, May 7 | 5:30 PM
📍 Heist Brewery Event Space
2909 N Davidson St Suite 200 (event space around the side — not the main brewery)

RSVP: https://www.meetup.com/the-hive-clt-entrepreneurs-network/events/311382034/

Hey Hive,

May 7th is just around the corner, and we’re being intentional about who’s in the room.

This month, we’re focusing on something most entrepreneurial events avoid. Mental health, hiring, and the real cost of building a business. The people decisions, the pressure, and what it actually feels like when growth starts to stretch you.

This isn’t about motivation or scripts. It’s a grounded conversation for founders who are in it. Leading for the first time, managing people, making decisions while carrying a full plate, and figuring out how to grow without burning out.

If that resonates, this is a room you’ll want to be in.

📍 Heist Brewery Event Space
2909 N Davidson St, Suite 200
(Separate from the main brewery, located around the side)

📅 Thursday, May 7 | 5:30 PM

If you’ve been considering it, this is a strong one to attend.

There’s a version of your business that grows…
without costing you everything.

But most people don’t realize they’re building the opposite.

At first, it’s exciting.
You’re in control. You’re doing everything.

Then growth happens.

More clients.
More decisions.
More pressure.

And slowly… it starts to feel heavy.

Not because something is wrong.
Because everything still depends on you.

That’s where most people get stuck.

Not from lack of effort,
but from holding onto things they’ve already outgrown:

Control.
Tasks.
Decisions.
People.

And the truth is…
those things used to help you grow.

Now they’re the reason you feel stuck.

But letting go doesn’t feel productive.
It feels risky.

So nothing changes.

Now fast forward 6–12 months.

The business grows…
but so does the pressure.

More responsibility.
Less time.
Less freedom.

Now flip it.

What if you made one shift?

Not everything. Just one.

The hire you’ve been delaying.
The boundary you keep ignoring.
The conversation you’ve been avoiding.

That one decision doesn’t just fix today.
It changes how your business grows moving forward.

So here’s the real question:

What are you still holding onto
that your next level actually requires you to let go of?

04/10/2026

Quick question for you…

What’s been the hardest part about building your business lately?

Not the highlight reel.
Not the wins.

The real stuff.

We’re planning our May Hive Meetup around:

Mental Health. Hiring. Team Building.

And instead of guessing what people need…

We want to build this around you.

So we’d love your input:

What’s been weighing on you recently?

Is it…
• Feeling stretched too thin?
• Hiring the right people (or knowing when to hire)?
• Managing team dynamics or expectations?
• Staying focused while everything is pulling your attention?
• Balancing growth with your own mental health?

Or something else entirely?

Drop it in the comments.

Even if it feels small or random.

We’re going to compile everything and shape the conversation around what actually matters to this group.

Because this next one isn’t about surface-level advice.

It’s about real conversations around what it actually takes to build and sustain something.

Appreciate you being part of this.

Let’s build this one together.
