Hey everyone, I’m Jeremy Rosen, partner and San Antonio market lead at Five Star Vacation Home Rentals.

Quick background. I spent about a decade as an ICU nurse, including caring for open heart surgery patients. While I was still working those shifts, I started a short term rental management company in San Antonio from scratch. Over roughly three years we grew to 20+ properties. Then I made the call to merge with my mentor’s company to get more scale, better systems, and long term leverage. Today we manage 70+ homes across San Antonio and Austin.

Our focus is higher end homes, mostly 4+ bedrooms with strong amenities.

We run on data and use tools like PriceLabs, AirDNA, OwnerRez, and Hospitable to drive pricing, occupancy, and owner reporting.

Things I’m happy to talk about:

• Starting a management company while working a demanding full time job

• Pricing strategy and revenue management for large group homes

• What owners should look for (and watch out for) in a property manager

• Why I chose to merge instead of grow solo, and what that transition really looks like

• Tech stack, systems, and building a team so you are not the bottleneck

• The San Antonio and Austin STR markets right now

Ask me anything. No question is too basic, and I’ll give you straight answers, including the mistakes we made along the way.

Hi Everyone. Seattle based college consultant here. I worked for 30 years in higher education administration, most of it in direct service to students with disabilities. Left a Dean position about a year ago to start my consultancy helping students with disabilities on their transition to college. If you know a college aspiring teen who has a disability and would like support in choosing their college, getting their paperwork in order, and getting accommodations in college send them my way. The first half hour consult is free!

I work with any college aspiring student, of any age, who wants to go to a college or university in the US.

Check out my website, Rebecca Cory Consulting. And feel free to ask me questions here!

If you've been thinking about writing a book to grow your business and opportunities, I'm here to answer questions!

Great to have a network filled with "our people." For the last 18+ years I have run an athlete and talent management (athletes, coaches, influencers, music) firm in Los Angeles. On top of managing athletes careers, I am also involved in start ups, team ownership (Leeds United, Salford Rugby League FC - seeking investors), marketing/PR, events, film/tv production.

I also have three great sons with one just graduating from SDSU Business Entrepreneurship program who is looking for a job in collectibles, gold/jewelry and estates/auctions. He turned about $18k into $250k in inventory the last six months and is looking to grow and learn in the industry (LA or OC). My twins are also at the SDSU Business Entrepreneurship program and have their own start up (Conkr.io which is down at the moment for development but will be back up shortly) in the investing space and they coach soccer, while attending school. They are also AEPi at SDSU and will be going to Barcelona in Spring semester. They are looking for internships upon their return in the finance space. By week's end, all three of my men will be signed up here (Jake, Mikah and Nate Meyerson).

I love the idea of this group and am very happy to part of this community. We need each other.

Ever wondered if a real estate investment was too good to be true? Considered investing without becoming a landlord? Or wondered whether your family could navigate your finances without you?

Hi JTribe! I'm Alina Trigub, and I'm happy to be part of this community!

My career started in Big Four tax consulting, followed by over 20 years in SaaS technology as a QA, Business Analyst, Product Manager, and Project Manager. I've also worked in private equity before moving into real estate investing and entrepreneurship.

Today, I'm the founder of SAMO Financial LLC, a TEDx speaker, author of Your Legacy on Main Street, and writer of The Long Arithmetic, a weekly newsletter about money, investing, and making better financial decisions.

A few things you can ask me about:

• Passive real estate investing: How does it work, and what are the risks?

• Evaluating investments: What questions should you ask before committing your money?

• Building wealth: How do you think about risk, liquidity, and having enough?

• Family wealth and legacy: How do you organize your finances and prepare your kids for financial responsibility?

• Career transitions: What did I learn from leaving corporate America for entrepreneurship?

• Lessons learned: What happens when investments don't go as planned?

I love exchanging experiences and helping people develop frameworks to make more informed decisions. And I've certainly learned a few expensive lessons myself!

So, what have you always wanted to ask? Looking forward to some great conversations and getting to know you!

I run Berkeley Supper Club, a 501(c)(7) nonprofit social club in Berkeley. We’re three years and twenty-five dinners in, with 279 members, and we cook a seasonal, family-style dinner for about sixty members each month at Urban Adamah’s farm kitchen.

The cooking is diaspora-rooted and ambitious, and communal dining is the point: round tables, multigenerational, Jewish-led and open to everyone.

Our dinners are for members only. Membership is free and takes about thirty seconds, and it’s what lets us operate as a member-supported club rather than a restaurant.

If you’re a J-Suite member in the East Bay and this sounds like your kind of table, I’d love to have you in the club. Our next dinner is Sunday, November 15: a Spanish and Sephardic menu built around conservas, tinned fish and preserved things, with sardines from Crown Prince Seafood and spice from Dime Seasonings.

Hi JTribe!

I've spent the past 30+ years in the technology industry, much of that time as an entrepreneur and CEO, building and leading companies, raising capital, and navigating the many challenges that come with it.

These days, I'm working on something close to my heart: Hawazai, a startup focused on empowering service workers through customer appreciation. It's quite a departure from my earlier ventures in enterprise technology, and I'm enjoying the journey.

Happy to share whatever I've learned along the way about entrepreneurship, leadership, building teams, fundraising, technology, and the lessons that come from both successes and mistakes.

Ask me anything! I'd love to exchange experiences and perspectives with fellow JSuite members.

I’ve spent much of my career in technical product roles across AI, data, and healthcare, and I’m ready for a change. I’m open-minded about what comes next and particularly interested in roles that are entrepreneurial, people-oriented, mission-driven, and let me build things and bring people together.

Outside of tech, I’m the head varsity water polo coach at Berkeley High, founder of a community supper club, and a freelance food writer. My superpower is probably the thread connecting all of those things: I’m good at turning ideas into real things, organizing people around them, communicating across very different groups, and figuring things out as I go.

I’d especially love to hear from people who read this and think, “You should talk to ___” — including for opportunities I might not know to look for myself.

I'm building my personal Tikkun Olam with CultureRoot - a documentary studio that seeks to mitigate the growing loneliness epidemic, the crisis of community, the rise of GenAI content in the non-fiction space, and the doom+gloom around AI taking jobs. We're doing this by showcasing stories about people who found purpose in passion and built community along the way. We're focused on creating episodic series about some of the global subcultures I find fascinating like regenerative agriculture, street art + graffiti, and remote work + lifestyle design. The idea is to open windows into often overlooked communities with our content, and then over time, turn those windows into doors through in-person events, education, and pathways to real roles within these communities.

My Co-Founder / Head of Production is another MOT that worked as a producer for all 3 of Anthony Bourdain's series' for over 10 years.

We're just getting going, but we raised first capital the month after we incorporated and promptly flew to LatAm where we shot 13 episodes in 30 days. Those episodes are now in post-production, but we are launching our YouTube channel with our first episodes in the coming days. We are pre-revenue, but have a comprehensive strategy to make this a viable business in the months ahead.

Seeking angels, strategic investors, and brand partners to help us get the capital we need to build audience and get the revenue wheels turning. Minimum check size is $25k and you can read more on our investor site here: https://cultureroot.tv/investors

Would be grateful for any feedback, intros or conversations with those interested!

Most leadership teams don’t struggle with vision. They struggle with what happens between the strategy deck and Tuesday morning on the front line. That’s the gap I’m excited to dig into with Dr. Eugene Chan, founder of Behavieural, in our upcoming one-hour webinar: From Alignment to Adoption: Turning Leadership Intent into Frontline Action Eugene brings his behavioral science expertise, and I’ll bring what I’ve seen leading transformation from the C-suite. Together we’ll look at why good intentions stall and what it takes to turn them into everyday behavior. You’ll walk away with practical tools you can use right away, plus access to resources to help you build lasting impact across your teams. October 20, 2026: 12 PM CT/1 PM ET Save your spot: https://calendly.com/charlie-northlinestrategy/webinar If you lead people, or lead the people who lead people, we’d love to see you there.

Due to an unforeseen trademark issue, I need to change the name of my concierge fine jewelry brand, Modern Heir Fine Jewelry.

As someone who spent 20+ years in marketing and brand strategy before becoming a jewelry designer, you’d think naming my own business would come easily. Turns out, it’s much harder when it’s yours! Finding something I love that isn’t already in use has been a challenge.

A little context to help get the ideas flowing:

What I do: I design one-of-a-kind fine jewelry and transform inherited or unworn pieces into something my clients will love wearing. I also create custom engagement rings and wedding bands, source gemstones and help clients thoughtfully curate their jewelry collections.

It’s a personal, collaborative concierge experience. I work directly with clients from the first conversation through the finished piece, locally in Phoenix/Scottsdale and remotely nationwide. I don't have a storefront and I don't carry ready-made merchandise; everything I do is custom, bespoke and made to order.

That being said, I do plan on releasing a DTC fine jewelry collection in the near future.

Who I serve: Many of my clients are women in midlife and beyond who appreciate quality, individuality and meaningful design. They might have jewelry from a mother or grandmother that holds tremendous sentimental value but doesn’t suit their style. Others want to celebrate a milestone, mark a new chapter or create something just for themselves. I also work with couples creating engagement rings and wedding bands.

What’s at the heart of the business: Stories, identity, connection and legacy. Honoring what we carry forward while creating something that reflects who we are today.

The feeling I’m looking for: Modern, distinctive, warm and elevated. My designs are bold, sculptural and architectural, featuring bold 14kt gold designs and colorful gemstones. The name should feel at home in that world while leaving room for the emotional meaning behind the work.

I don’t want to use my own name. I’m open to an unexpected word, a meaningful combination or something inspired by another language, provided it’s easy to say and remember. It doesn’t need to literally reference jewelry or heirlooms.

If a name, word or creative direction comes to mind, I’d love to hear it! No need to check availability before sharing—I’ll handle that research and legal vetting.

Thank you for helping me imagine this next chapter. 💛

Hi everyone! I’m the founder of LIAHT, a Jewish-owned women’s footwear brand creating gorgeous shoes for women who want high fashion and a true fit, without compromise - something I personally couldn't find, so I built it myself.

I’m hoping this community might help me connect with writers, editors, podcast hosts, or other media contacts who reach women interested in fashion, female founders, and supporting Jewish-owned businesses.

If someone comes to mind, I would be so grateful for a warm introduction. I’d love the opportunity to share LIAHT, the story behind it, and, of course, the shoes!

Please comment or message me if you have a connection. Thank you so much. 💙

Ever inherited jewelry you love for the person it belonged to—but would never actually wear? Wondered whether a lab-grown or natural diamond makes more sense? Or wanted to buy something special without knowing what’s worth paying for?

Hi JTribe! I’m Gaby, a custom fine jewelry designer based in Scottsdale, AZ. I work privately and collaboratively with my clients to create bespoke, one-of-a-kind pieces and reimagine inherited or unworn jewelry into the piece you've always dreamed of wearing.

Jewelry carries a lot of meaning—and comes with a lot of questions. So let’s talk about it!

A few things you can ask me about:

💎 Natural vs. lab-grown diamonds: the differences & tradeoffs
💍 Custom jewelry: how it works, what affects the price & where to begin
✨ Inherited jewelry: what can be redesigned & what to consider before making changes
🌈 Colored gemstones: choosing a stone for its beauty, durability & your budget
🎁 Meaningful gifts: marking a milestone, celebrating someone you love or treating yourself & why choosing fine jewelry is the way to go!
🔎 Your jewelry box: figuring out what’s worth wearing, repairing, refining or redesigning

💰 Gold, Platinum, Sterling Silver: want to know more about precious metals? Let's talk!
❤ Planning an engagement: how to decipher the 4Cs of Diamonds & where to prioritize your budget

Thinking ahead to the holidays? Have some jewelry sitting in a drawer and don't know what to do with it? Drop your questions below. I can't wait to share my knowledge with you about my favorite topic!

We're exploring an inclusive, professionally run community in Israel where Jewish people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) can live, work, make friends, and have lifelong support.

No family would do this alone. We would help with the paperwork, the Aliyah process, finding work, and a commUnity focused on Our needs in Israel.

Avi Rubin here, from Orange County. I make soap. I've been making it for 18 years, which is about 17 more than my mother expected.

Iron Lion Soap started in 2008 as a "how hard can it be" project. It turned into a real business with 50k+ web orders, customers in all 50 states, and a 41% repeat rate.

I'm proudest of the repeat rate, because people keep buying something they literally wash down the drain. Everything is cold-process and hand-cut. I still pack orders in the den three days a week. Founder life.

My other hat is the Bureau of Never Not Thinking

I run biz dev there.

We work as a fractional CMO/COO for small businesses and build them AI that actually does a job. Right now we run a bid-hunting agent for a commercial construction company that reads dozens of school-district boards so the owner doesn't have to.

We also run the marketing engine for a speech-therapy product brand. We don't build something and disappear. We sit in the room, run the weekly reps, then hand over the keys.

Off the clock I'm a husband to Ili and a girl dad twice over (6 years old and a baby). My job at home is mostly snack logistics and getting outvoted.

Raising daughters made me a better operator. Turns out a 6 year old negotiates harder than any wholesale buyer I've dealt with.

Looking to meet the SoCal JSuite crew in person. Coffee in OC, a minyan, or a schmooze. If I can help with a Shopify headache, a manufacturing question or an AI idea, my door's open... just bring rugelach.

Happy to look at any of that for free.

Can we open a regional thread for Philadelphia / South Jersey?

I'm the co-founder of After Hello, a national matchmaking firm working primarily with accomplished professionals seeking long-term relationships. I'd love an introduction to someone who leads a professional membership organization, executive networking group, or private social club in Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Charlotte/Raleigh, Scottsdale or South Florida. We're exploring ways to collaborate with organizations whose members value meaningful personal connections, whether through educational programming, events, or other partnerships. Happy to explore how we could bring value to their members as well.

Hi, everyone!

My name is Jeryl Parade and I am the writer/director of award-winning short films and series. My new project is Orthodox Girl a romantic comedy of manners set in Washington, DC.

A staged reading of the short script was performed at NYC TV Festival where it won the Audience Award for Best Screenplay. Recently we had a successful table read of the feature screenplay with 18 actors at ART/New York. I would love to meet potential investors and co-producers.

SHORT SYNOPSIS

She throws DC’s flashiest galas. He prays all night, won’t shake her hand, and rides a motorcycle from his “bad boy past.” Reeling from her father’s death, secular DC party planner Zoey finds an unlikely anchor in Axel, a newly devout Ultra-Orthodox man. As they navigate a romance defined by shomer negiah—no touching—their intellectual intimacy creates a tension more potent than any physical attraction. Amidst the ancient laws of a Georgetown synagogue, mean girl rivalries, and a topsy-turvy Purim party that breaks all the rules, Zoey must decide if belonging to a community requires surrendering her own spiritual voice.

People always ask me what my title "Chief Fixer" means. Of course it's bait. It helps me address the hard stuff right up front.

To understand what I can fix, I need to know what hurts the most: Stagnation, Qualification, Competition or Results.

Over the last year, the answer has more frequently become "All!".
Rapid change means we are working harder inside broken systems. Our acquired x required skills are keeping us stuck and self doubt is on the rise.

I am joining JSuite today.
After 36 years deeply involved in the Jewish Business Community in Sao Paulo, Brazil, I recently concluded my re-patriation to the USA.

Regarding Visa, if the company can not sponsor me, 

I can easily get a J1.

Please find my resume attached for your consideration. 

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you,
