CASH FLOW IN CALI IS BACK — Co-Living & PadSplit Join us for a FREE evening of real estate education, networking, and open investor Q&A featuring Devon Aguirre, SoCal Market Manager with PadSplit and a co-living real estate expert with 12+ years of industry experience.

With high home prices, financing costs, and changing rental markets, making the numbers work on a traditional rental can be challenging. Co-living is creating another option. Devon will break down how the co-living model works, what makes a property a potential fit, and why some owners are using this strategy to increase rental income without necessarily buying another property. 🏠 CO-LIVING • CASH FLOW • RENTAL INCOME • REAL ESTATE We’ll cover topics including: California Cash Flow — Is It Really Back? Why co-living is changing the numbers on certain California rental properties and creating opportunities in markets where traditional rental cash flow can be difficult. The 2X–3X Math A look at the potential income difference between renting an entire property to one household versus operating it under a room-by-room co-living model.

"We Outside!" Culver City Stairs Group Workout

**On Friday's, we take on the iconic Culver City Stairs for an intense, full-body stair-climbing session that pushes every muscle, boosts cardiovascular health, and strengthens our group’s bond through shared grit and determination.** *** \-\- Incorporating stair climbing into your fitness routine can contribute to improved physical fitness\, strength\, and overall well\-being\. A stairs workout offers several benefits for physical fitness and overall health: • CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH: Climbing stairs is an excellent aerobic exercise that gets your heart rate up, improving cardiovascular health, increasing stamina, and boosting overall endurance. • Leg strength: Stair climbing engages various muscle groups in the legs, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and glutes. Over time, this can lead to improved leg strength, muscle tone, and endurance. • CALORIE BURNING: Stair climbing is a calorie-intensive exercise that can help with weight management and fat loss. It burns more calories per minute than many other forms of aerobic exercise, making it an efficient way to burn energy. • LOW IMPACT: Unlike activities like running or jumping, stair climbing is low impact, which means it puts less stress on the joints. This makes it a suitable workout option for individuals with joint pain or those recovering from injuries. • CONVENIENCE: Stairs are often readily available in various settings, such as homes, office buildings, parks, or public spaces. This makes stair climbing a convenient workout option that can be easily incorporated into daily routines. • IMPROVED BALANCE AND COORDINATION: Negotiating stairs requires coordination and balance, which can improve with regular stair climbing workouts. This can be particularly beneficial for older adults in reducing the risk of falls and maintaining mobility. • MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS: Exercise, including stair climbing, has been shown to release endorphins, which can improve mood and reduce stress and anxiety levels. Additionally, the sense of accomplishment from completing a challenging stair workout can boost self-esteem and confidence. *** EQUIPMENT NEEDED: • Water bottle • Sweat towel *** REGISTRATION: [BlackFolk.net/Workout](BlackFolk.net/Workout) (it's free)

We frame ourselves as **"a support group for the technological singularity"** and we are an eclectic mix of open-minded thinkers, artists, and tinkerers who believe in embracing the emerging technologies and capabilities in the most humanitarian way possible. Our meetings have a super casual and open atmosphere where all are welcome to contribute. Feel free to come late or leave early. So whether you're an AI enthusiast or skeptic, a creative professional already using AI on the daily, or someone just starting their first vibe coding project, this group may be for you! **NOW NEW & IMPROVED** We are doing "Hack-a-salons" after every meeting (starting at 5pm) now that 310 Coffee is staying open later.

No podiums... only passion projects, good people and great vibes! ☺️ **What to Expect** Interesting conversations, relevant content, and educational resources. We are a diverse community of people who want to help each other and the world around us. We meet in person once a week at **310 Coffee in Culver City from 3-5pm**, we share our work and interesting news in our Whatsapp group, put on remote Learning Labs, go to events together, and encourage our members (who have the availability) to participate in a learning collective where we can volunteer to give each other one-on-one crash courses in various artistic, technical, and entrepreneurial disciplines. Here is a list of what we can teach: [https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know](https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know) We also encourage each of our members to take on a Passion Project, which could be as simple as getting up and running with a new artistic medium or project, or as complex as laying the groundwork for your dream business or career. We believe there has never been a better time (at least in OUR lifetimes) to set your sights on what your ideal life would be two years from now and then just start moving toward it. And maybe we can help you do that by giving you the hand-holding you need to get over that first hump, which can sometimes be the most difficult part. **How to Give Back** If you are a member looking to give back, or if you like what our organization is doing, then please follow, subscribe, rate us, and smash that like! 🤣 I know it seems silly to many of you, but in the attention economy, just the act of following us, liking our posts, and reviewing our events can make a huge difference in how the algorithm shines upon us. Also, if you would like to support us in a more direct way, please consider giving us a one-time donation, subscribing to one of our tiers, or sponsoring us. We pay for a lot of stuff out of pocket, so please consider becoming a patron to support the overall longevity of our group and vision. [https://strangenew.world/support-us](https://strangenew.world/support-us) **More Information** What we explore during our meetings really depends on who shows up and what they want to discuss: * The changing job market. What skills will matter in 10 years * The future of business and the creative industries * Chatbots, LLMs, and Agentic Workflows * Using AI for scientific or artistic exploration * Will generative art destroy Hollywood or save it? * What is consciousness? What constitutes intelligence? * The various types/platforms of vibecoding and which is best for your project * The end of capitalism as we know it * Are we entering the 2nd Cognitive Revolution? **Learn more at: [https://strangenew.world](https://strangenew.world)**
