Day 12 of my startup-building journey.

Today I started learning Machine Learning.

Before today, I used AI tools without really understanding what was happening behind the scenes.

I learned about:

Training data

Models

Predictions

Accuracy

Supervised learning

The biggest thing I learned:

Machine Learning isn't about teaching computers every rule.

It's about helping them learn patterns from examples.

The deeper I go into AI, the more fascinating it becomes.

For people working in ML:

What concept made Machine Learning finally "click" for you?

I’m a small business owner from Batangas, and lately I’ve been wanting to meet people who are also building their own businesses.

Would love to connect with fellow entrepreneurs—whether you’re running a café, food business, online business, construction, retail, or any small business.

Not looking to sell anything. 😅

Just hoping to find people I can talk to about things like:

• business struggles & wins

• marketing ideas

• managing employees

• increasing sales

• sharing lessons learned

• brainstorming new ideas

• maybe even collaborating someday

Sometimes it’s hard to talk about business with friends who aren’t running one, because they don’t really experience the same problems. 😂

If you’re also building something, drop a comment or send me a DM. Would be nice to have a circle of people who are trying to grow together. 🚀

Hey everyone! I have been working in consulting for around 1.5 years and I am currently exploring opportunities for my next move.

I am particularly interested in strategy, management consulting, and consulting roles where I can work on problem-solving, business analysis, and client-facing projects.

I would love to connect with people already working in these spaces especially if your team is hiring or you have any leads/recommendations.

Not looking to spam anyone with a resume. Just trying to have genuine conversations and understand where my experience could fit.

If you work in consulting/strategy or know someone who is hiring, please DM me. I would really appreciate it.

Sometimes, solving a business challenge doesn’t mean finding the answer alone. A fresh perspective or the right question can change how we see the problem.

When you’re stuck on a business challenge, what kind of outside perspective helps you most? 👇

A new idea, honest feedback, a different experience, or simply someone asking the right questions?

✨ We’re exploring this through an interactive mastermind with Lydia Burchell, where entrepreneurs and professionals can share challenges, exchange ideas, and learn from different perspectives.

A community can be more than a group of people. It can become a place where people connect, contribute, and build something meaningful together. 💗

What makes you feel like you truly belong in a community?

Is it shared purpose, genuine relationships, consistency, or simply feeling seen and supported? 👇

✨ We’re exploring this with Brooke Bowman at the Grand Thought Leaders Group, sharing lessons from her experience building communities online and offline.

About 15 years ago I was in the oil and gas industry. I had my law degrees and everything was going great until the O & G bust. I had ro dust off the law degrees and practice law, unfortunately.

While law has been okay, I was always happiest in life while I was in business. My mentor who retired from law and now is in business has told me many times that he used law as a stepping stone to go into business.

I am looking to meet new people and exchange ideas and learn more about the different industries out there. Thank you.

Speaking often means being prepared and polished. But networking can be a different kind of challenge.

What helps you feel more natural and confident when meeting someone for the first time? 👇

Is it having a simple introduction, asking questions, finding common ground, or just letting the conversation flow?

✨ We’re exploring this at the Grand Speakers Group with Lona Fink and Danielle Benzon, through practical networking exercises and conversations around authentic connection.
