The Cards You Collect: How Experience Shapes What You Build

What if the experiences that seem completely unrelated are actually preparing you for what comes next? Ben Ikwuagwu’s path to entrepreneurship has been anything but linear. He spent nearly a decade in global supply chain at Dell and Apple and then pursued a very different path as a performer—leading Sweet Matcha Band and playing stages including Carnegie Hall, ACL Live, and FOX. Today, he’s the Co-Founder and CEO of Soundcheck Live. Those chapters weren’t a branding story. They were the training and each experience gave Ben a different set of skills—or “cards”—that he eventually learned to play together. At this Friday Coffee Meetup, Ben will share how seemingly unrelated experiences, failures, and career pivots can become unexpected advantages when you’re building something new. He’ll take us inside his first year building Soundcheck and talk candidly about the pivots, the misses, what actually stuck, and what he’s learned about earning people’s trust and getting customers, investors, and teammates to believe in what you’re building. ### About Ben Ben Ikwuagwu is Co-Founder and CEO of Soundcheck Live, an operations platform for pro duction companies, agencies, and talent teams. Soundcheck helps live-event operators move beyond spreadsheets, group texts, and memory to manage and scale their businesses. Ben brings together experience across corporate operations, live entertainment, and technology to build tools for an industry he knows firsthand. ### Networking Come early to connect with fellow founders, technologists, creatives, and community members. Friday Coffee Meetup is as much about the people in the room as it is about the conversation on stage. **Accessibility:** FoundrSpace is located in a historic building without elevator access. If you require assistance, please email [pasadena@foundrspace.com](mailto:pasadena@foundrspace.com) and [admin@innovatepasadena.org](mailto:admin@innovatepasadena.org) by October 30.

Meditation & Discussion: Embracing Change

The only constant is change. Change can be scary, but it always presents an opportunity for improvement. We will practice and discuss. This event is based on Tristan's personal mastery approach, where we learn to make friends with our mind to cultivate personal growth and inner peace. We explore the intersections of Buddhism, Stoicism, modern Psychology, and other approaches towards this goal. Our practices generally include some of the following: * Meditation * Mindfulness * Metta (Loving-kindness) * Breathwork * Sound bath * Journaling No experience with these practices is necessary. Beginners are welcome! Even those of us who have been practicing for years are still learning, and we have so much to learn from each other. As they say in Zen, we must maintain a "beginners mind." Our discussions are open to a variety of spiritual and scientific approaches to wellbeing, contentment, and enlightenment. We want to hear your ideas, but there's no pressure to speak in the group. If you prefer to just sit and listen, that's great! Whether you are seeking to find inner peace, or simply a space to connect with like-minded individuals, we invite you to join us on this journey. **Cost:** There is no cost to attend, but contributions are appreciated through Venmo @VitaLuminaCo. Please do not feel any pressure to contribute if you are unable. Your presence is enough! **To bring**: * Blanket, cushion, and/or chair * Water bottle * You may also want a hat and/or sunglasses * Journal & pen/pencil (optional) * Food and/or beverages to share (optional) **Location:** Silver Lake grassy patch, next to Silver Lake Rec Center (South of the lake): https://maps.app.goo.gl/RyPio7rJRPcT2nmb7 NOTE: This is NOT the meadow, which is further north. **Parking:** There should be street parking available. Tristan is a pre-licensed therapist, meditation teacher, business lawyer, and author.
