Mid-January Check-In: You’re Not Behind
Join us tonight at 8 PM ET for a relaxed Inventor Smart Community Hangout — connect, listen, and move forward with clarity.

H.Q. Weekly #53
By now, January has a way of showing its true colors.
The initial excitement has settled.
The noise has quieted.
And what’s left is the real work - thinking clearly, asking better questions, and deciding what’s actually worth moving forward.
This is the part of the process where inventors either try to go it alone…
or they lean into the support that makes better decisions possible.
That’s why tonight matters.
Tonight: Inventor Smart Community Hangout
Mon, Jan 12 — 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT
This is a relaxed, no-pressure virtual meetup hosted by our community leaders:
Samantha St. Raymond (VP of Community) and Shawn Taylor (Head of Community).
It’s designed for inventors who:
Want to connect with people who get it
Are thinking through next steps
Have questions they haven’t fully formed yet
Or simply want to listen, learn, and feel less alone in the process
You don’t need a pitch.
You don’t need answers.
You just need to show up.

Why Community Matters (Especially Now)
One thing Brian (The Inventor Coach) talks about often is separating emotion from decision-making.
That doesn’t mean inventing without passion —
it means not carrying the weight alone.
When you hear where other inventors are:
You realize your questions are normal
You start to see patterns sooner
You avoid rushing decisions that don’t need to be rushed
Progress doesn’t always come from doing more.
Sometimes it comes from getting perspective.
That’s what tonight is for.

One Simple Reminder
You don’t need to have your invention figured out to belong here.
Inventors grow faster when they:
Ask questions earlier
Listen before they leap
Surround themselves with people who understand the process
If you’ve been meaning to get more involved, tonight is an easy entry point.
We hope to see you there.
