About this meetup

JOIN ME FOR OUR 4TH ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY AND COOKIE EXCHANGE! Bring 1 dozen of your favorite holiday cookies to exchange and share with others! It will be a great time to munch on some sugary treats while learning about a new way to network that ACTUALLY WORKS! Hope you can make it.

Do you hate Networking as much as most of us do? Are you also bad at it, often wondering why no one returns your calls or follows up with you after a "Networking Event"? Join us in any of our cities for "The Art of Active Networking", and let's change everything you believe about Networking!

Take a look at our site and what people say about the events here: TheArtofActiveNetworking.com

At this event you will make some amazing connections and you will learn why Networking is not about what you get, but what you give and what I call my #GIVE4. You really only need to meet one person to make your entire night worthwhile if you know what you are doing. You will have an opportunity to speak to everyone in the room, and you will absolutely meet people you might otherwise never have an opportunity to meet and you will see that's it's not what you are selling or how you sell it that matters, you will instead learn the importance of building 'know, like and trust' relationships! Finally you are then invited to join all of our groups and pages and use our FREE walls to post up what you might be looking for, all of those links are on our homepage near the ticket link.

Everything you need to know about this event is on our site. Join the pages and the groups, spread the word and also take a look at my TEDxFulton Street talk, also on our site.

Giving to and helping others will change your life. I ask you to only consider taking 4 hours out of your very busy week to do just that in the following ways:

1. Give your ideas and talents. You are one talented person and so many never get to see or benefit from your gifts.

2. Give a little money, you can pay someone’s toll, buy them a coffee behind you in line or donate to a non-profit! All of them will appreciate the effort. Go ahead, make their day.

3. Give of your time, the elderly lady down the street could use a little help in her yard since her husband passed, your local shelter or non-profit is always needing some help with volunteers. Let their small need be your good deed!

4. Give of your referrals in your network to help someone. This is the easiest thing to do ex. using social media sites to provide a great way to refer each other to new connections.

Finally, as I always say, “WE ALL STRUGGLE WITH SOMETHING” and guess what? It’s not easy to ask for help. But it’s very easy to open the door for someone to ask buy simply offering to listen.

I, Mark E. Sackett started this in San Francisco over 7 years ago as a way to help others do better in life, love and business. I own 13 companies and live in San Francisco. I hop between Los Angeles, New York, Vancouver BC and my hometown of Kansas City often. I'm a Director, Producer, Designer, Art Director and Public Speaker. Working daily in Branding, Marketing, Film, Television and Music and as an events producer and speaker allows me to talk about and thrive, while living an authentic, powerful and creative life.

My Mantra: "The power of us all working together is so much greater than anything each of us can accomplish on our own."

See you soon and I hope your year is about beautiful, powerful connections. Connect with me by clicking below to start sharing my massive networks with those you can help to do better each day!

BE WELL, BE CREATIVE, BE GREAT, BE GIVING!

Crowdsourcing for Filmmakers (My Book) is HERE!

Hey guys. Well, I thought this day would never come, but my book Crowdsourcing for Filmmakers: Indie Film and the Power of the Crowd is now available. Well, the e-book has been available for the last few weeks, but the hard copy was on back order due to what my publisher called “inventory problems”. The good news is that the overwhelming number of pre-sales caused those inventory problems. So for those of you who ordered a copy in advance, you book has either landed or you’ll be receiving it any day now. Now don’t let the title fool you. Crowdsourcing for Filmmakers is not just for content creators. It’s for actors, screenwriters, cinematographers, crew, producers and anyone looking to build a brand and an army of passionate supporters of that brand. In this DIY world and with more content being created than ever before, it’s more important than ever that you understand how to find, enlist and move an audience in support of you and your projects. We’ll cover everything you need to know to make that happen with this book, the first ever on film crowdsourcing and one of the few selected to be published under the American Film Market (AFM) Presents banner. To learn much more about what’s inside the book including the 3 remarkable case studies featured, how many different things you can crowdsource and why crowdsourcing is different from crowdfunding (but why crowdsourcing is the most vital aspect of any successful crowdfunding campaign), please watch the video below. And to order the book, please check out the links below! Thank you to all the amazing Stage 32’ers who have taken this two-year journey with me and who checked in from time to time to see if I was still sane. The answer is…mostly. Cheers!

That said, I'd be extremely grateful if you'd help me get the word out about the book. If you have social media, please post about it. If you have a blog, please write about it. Or, if you have any media outlets that you think would be interested in covering it, please let them know. We're in this together! Thank you.Read More
