So he built one. Today, Forward is evolving that solution into a broader platform that helps families move from confusion and avoidance to clarity and preparedness—combining secure document management, financial tools, and guided collaboration. In this session, Bryan will share how his team is approaching: * Building and positioning a SaaS product in a nuanced, human-centered problem space * Rethinking product delivery and user experience in today’s market * Navigating the intersection of fintech, family dynamics, and long-term planning * Lessons learned while scaling in an environment that demands adaptability This won’t be a one-way presentation—it’s an opportunity to exchange ideas, compare approaches, and learn from others navigating similar challenges. Whether you're building, scaling, advising, investing—or simply interested in how SaaS is evolving—this session offers a practical and timely perspective on what’s working right now. **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. *** ## **About the Speaker** Bryan Walley is CEO & Co-founder of Forward Inheritance and a technology and business leader with a proven track record of building and delivering software-driven solutions across a range of industries, including financial services. His experience spans the full lifecycle of innovation—from early concept and product development through go-to-market execution and operational scale.

Showcase at the Moonlight Academy

Sun, Sep 20, 12:55 AM

From Hollywood Moonlight Academy

4.8

A weekly recurring showcase of local witch and occult talent transforms an esoteric store from a retail outlet into a vital cultural hub. By featuring local practitioners, artists, and speakers, the store fosters customer loyalty through consistent engagement while providing a platform that legitimizes and connects the disparate threads of the local pagan community. Benefits to the Esoteric Store Recurring Revenue Streams: Regular events drive consistent foot traffic on typically slow days. Participants often purchase ritual tools, books, and supplies immediately following a showcase. Brand Differentiation: Showcasing unique local talent sets a physical store apart from generic online marketplaces by offering an irreplaceable experiential value. Market Insight: Weekly gatherings act as informal focus groups, allowing owners to identify gaps in the market and adjust inventory to meet emerging community needs. Authority and Trust: Hosting educational and talent-based events establishes the store as a thought leader and a safe, authentic environment for spiritual exploration. Strengthening the Pagan Community Reduced Isolation: For practitioners who feel "cut off" socially or geographically, regular meetups provide a vital sense of solidarity and belonging. Knowledge Exchange: Showcases facilitate "in-group education," where diverse practitioners share ritual mechanics, chants, and stories, enriching the collective practice of all attendees. Social Cohesion: The repetitive nature of weekly "rituals" or gatherings reinforces social ties, making the community more resilient against internal strife and external pressures. Path for Newcomers: Recurring events lower the barrier to entry, offering seekers a low-pressure way to transition from private study to active community participation.
