(7:00 pm) BARCELONA- Trust Is the Strategy: AI, Alignment, and Building

Tue, Oct 27, 6:00 PM

From Digital MarKeting Tribe - DMK Tribe

4.8

**(7:00 PM)** **🔹Please fill in your details to confirm your attendance.** **[Confirm my attendance, click here](https://www.dopplerpages.com/dmktribe-BC897/TrustIstheStrategy)** **Talk: Trust Is the Strategy: AI, Alignment, and Building a Business Around You** AI has made it easier than ever to create content, and with so many people using the same tools, prompts, and strategies, a lot of what we see online starts to sound the same. This talk is about what makes you stand out in that landscape: trust. Jazzie walks through three kinds of trust. The trust your audience has in you, and how your story, perspective, and lived experience make your work impossible to copy. The trust you have in the life you want, using her own business model as a case study for building around a defined life with room to breathe. And the trust you have in yourself, with a practical look at fear as useful information when you're ready for your next leap. Attendees will leave with a clearer sense of what makes their work their own, a way to build a business that supports the life they want, and one right-sized step to take this week. **About the speaker** **Jazzie Newton** Jazzie Newton is a business alignment and growth partner for coaches and entrepreneurs and the founder of Just Jazzie. She works across every level of business, from strategy and offers to brand, websites, and backend systems, to marketing and PR, helping her clients build businesses that are an honest reflection of who they are and a tool to live the life they desire. Jazzie has worked with more than 25 coaches in 5 years from every seat in the industry: as a client, as a coach herself, and behind the scenes in their businesses. Today she runs her own business structured around alignment from Barcelona. **About Betahus** betahaus \| Barcelona is not just a coworking space for creative minds\, it is the home where great talent meets an incredible 6\-story building creating the perfect atmosphere to boost your productivity\.

**Building a SaaS business in Barcelona? Come and meet other founders who are focused on scaling a SaaS in 2026.** This is the third gathering of Barcelona SaaS Founders Circle: an exclusive evening for SaaS founders and cofounders to get to know each other, compare notes and build useful relationships. No panels, or pitch competitions...We'll have a light structure to get the conversations started, followed by time to connect properly. **Who it is for** Founders and cofounders building or running a SaaS product—from actively building and finding first customers to growing an established business. Our core focus is B2B SaaS, but other SaaS founders are welcome when the conversations are relevant.

You can talk about finding customers, product decisions, pricing, hiring, founder-led sales - or simply what building your business is like right now. **The details** Date: **October 27** Time: **18:30–20:15, Barcelona local time** Venue: La Textil Collective ([Carrer de Casp, 33B, Eixample, 08010 Barcelona](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x12a4a3791b6168ed:0xccdc2cc0ad2626ca?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111)) Language: **English** Price: **Free to attend; please support La Textil by purchasing a drink or water.** Places: **20 founder attendees** **Coming on your own?** Perfectly fine. I will be there to welcome you and introduce you to people. You do not need to arrive knowing anyone. **A few shared expectations** Be generous with your experience, make room for others, and ask before giving advice. Introduce your product without turning the evening into a sales pitch. **Your host** I’m Michael Cummins, and I've worked in the world of SaaS for the last 15 years, at multiple Unicorns - from pre-seed through acquisitions and IPO's. I’m creating this group to build a useful local founder community that's focused on growth. Please RSVP only when you expect to attend. Plans change — just update your RSVP promptly so someone else can use the place. **See you there.**
