RSVP for the first one freeThe Side Door
Come alone. Leave with people building the same way out.
A room in Cleveland, once a month, for people building something on the side of a job they’d love to leave. Your first one is free.
You’re already building. At night, on weekends, in the cracks around a job that doesn’t know about it. And you’re doing it mostly alone, because the people around you don’t really get why you’d bother.
The Side Door is the room where that stops. Once a month, same night, same faces, everybody in there building their own way out.
You’ve got a decent job. You just can’t picture doing it for thirty more years.
- You want the thing that’s yours, not somebody else’s.
- You’re stuck at the starting line and don’t know the first move.
- You’re a little scared, and quietly tired of pretending you’re not.
- You don’t need a course. You need a room.
Don’t have an idea yet?
Good. That’s what the room is for.
Most people who walk in don’t have it figured out. They just know they want out, and they want something that’s theirs. They don’t have the idea yet.
That’s not a problem. That’s the whole point.
We help you find your side door. The thing you’re already good at. The thing people keep asking you for. The thing you’d happily do on a Saturday for free. Somewhere in there is a business, and we’ll help you dig it out, name it, and take the first real step.
You don’t have to bring the idea. You bring you. We’ll find the door together.
You don’t have to quit tomorrow. You don’t have to have it figured out. You just have to show up.
We’re not selling the dream from a beach. We’re on the same road as you.
Jim runs LET’S GO CLE, is the Admiral of the Cleveland Floaters, and is co-author of The Misny Method. Here’s what nobody else in this business will tell you: he still has a job.
Building on nights and weekends, step by step, the right way. A few steps ahead of you, not miles.
Photos from the first Side Door.
Cleveland people, a patio, a few beers, and real talk about the businesses they’re building. That’s the whole thing.
What a night looks like.
Ninety minutes. Somebody shares a win. Somebody lays out where they’re stuck and the room digs in. One real lesson, usually from Jim or a Cleveland founder who’s a few steps ahead. Then the part that actually matters: you grab a beer and stick around, and by the end the room isn’t strangers anymore.
No membership. No subscription. No app. Show up, drop a twenty in the jar, you’re in.
The door’s right there. Come see if it’s for you.
This is how you build a life and business you don’t need a vacation from. You just don’t do it alone.
The first one’s free. Worst case, you spend a Tuesday night with good Cleveland people and a good beer. Best case, it’s the night everything started.
