Construct a community of your own. The Curious Builder Collective is a community of builders looking to enhance their businesses by tapping into the collective expertise of fellow pros in their area. It’s a forum for asking questions, exploring ideas, and testing theories, all to help you refine and apply these insights to your own business.
Connect with the dynamic builder industry.
Format
Each session explores one topic meant to spark new ways of thinking about business. Conversations start in small groups of about 8–10 people, guided by prompts that keep things focused and practical. Midway through, groups mix to bring in new perspectives. It’s an easy, energizing way to connect, learn, and leave inspired.
