On a high note.
It’s 8:01am. It’s the weekend. Life is awesome.
Hi friends,
Three days ago the #weloveclt speaker series came to a close. Ten months, ten awesome Charlotteans sharing stories and personal anecdotes. When it comes to Charlotte, loving it and it’s people Hyong Yi was the perfect person to bring it all together. He’s helped me truly understand what I’m doing with #weloveclt. It was the perfect bookend for season one. We ended on a high note. The audio/video will be out soon.
What’s next? I’m not sure. I hope to take a couple weeks and figure out the best steps for moving forward. How do I go bigger and more awesome? Again, no clue. We’ll get there. They’ll still be “Have you mets?” and Insta takeovers in the meantime because they’re awesome. Stay tuned.
Now let’s get to it.

Always be open to meeting new people.
A short week in intros with the speaker series event taking place. Here’s someone you should absolutely meet. She’s a wife, mother, great cook, role model, and most importantly a friend. Meet Cristina Gillespie of 28toLife. Intro by Ryan McClain.
After months of being persistent I finally gave in and let Tori Karlek introduce me in this series. If you’re interested in learning a little bit more about me (Garrett Tichy) give this intro a read. Tori, you’re awesome and this was unexpected. Thanks for being the best of friends.
Do you know someone awesome and want to introduce them to all of We Love Charlotte? Let’s make it happen. I’ve laid out the instructions and guidelines here for you to make your own intro.
