SUMMARY:AI Tinkerers Missoula brings builders back Sept. 23 for roundtable talks and live demos
DESCRIPTION:MISSOULA\, Mont. - Missoula's AI builder chapter is back. AI Tinkerers Missoula \nholds Session 2 on Wednesday\, September 23\, 2026\, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. MDT: \na free\, in-person night for developers\, researchers\, and technical founders \nwho actually ship AI.\n\nThis is not a networking mixer. It's builders in one room talking code and \nhow to put AI to work for real. The night opens with a roundtable on AI \nharnesses and implementation: evaluation loops\, orchestration\, testing and \nregression\, guardrails\, telemetry\, and the messy details of getting systems \nrunning in production. Then lightning demos where someone pops the hood on \na real build for about five minutes.\n\nOrganizers Jurden Bruce of Brucepro and Joshua Rhines\, founder of CubCloud \nAI and CubCloud Community\, launched the Missoula chapter with an inaugural \nmeetup on Aug. 26. Session 2 keeps the same format and the same bar: show \nthe work\, teach the trade-offs\, leave the pitch deck at home.\n\n"Missoula has the builders. Session 1 proved they want code\, not a sales \ndeck. AI Tinkerers is where they get in a room\, show how the thing actually \nworks\, and Session 2 is live demos. That's the fun part\," said Rhines.\n\nVenue details go to confirmed attendees (same location as last time). \nSpace is limited. \nApply at https://missoula.aitinkerers.org/p/ai-tinkerers-missoula-roundtable-demos-ai-harnesses-sep-23-2026\n\nDemo proposals are open. Short\, code-first demos preferred. \nAgenda: check-in at 4:00\, roundtable at 4:10\, lightning demos at 5:10.\n\nCubCloud AI builds AI systems and tools on hardware it owns and operates in Montana. \nThe company is based at 400 West Broadway St.\, Suite 102 in downtown Missoula.\n\n\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nContact: Joshua Rhines\, CubCloud AI - Joshua@CubCloud.AI - 406-241-5395\nMissoula\, Montana - September 8\, 2026

SUMMARY:How much money do I actually need to bring in each month? J. Vader Consulting - 9/24 - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:A 60-minute working session for founders\, business owners\, and EDs who have never actually sat down and done this math. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, September 24 @ 12pm MT | Virtual | 60 minutes \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n$20 a seat.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Save my spot \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAre you ready to find some finanicial clarity?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn September 24 at 12pm MT\, I’m hosting a 60-minute virtual Cash Flow Clarity Workshop for founders\, small business owners\, and nonprofit leaders who want a clearer answer to a pretty basic\, but often ignored\, question: How much do I actually need to bring in each month? \nIn the workshop\, we will use a simple Cash Flow Clarity tool I’ve created to: \n\n\nidentify what a business/organization must bring in to cover core monthly costs\nset a realistic monthly target to work towards\ncompare current pricing\, revenue\, or funding to that target\nleave with a practical tool that can be updated and used for decision-making\n\n\nI’d love if you’d be willing to pass this information on to any clients\, partners\, colleagues\, and friends who may be interested! The workshop is probably a good fit for someone who:\n\n\ncan’t immediately point to the number they need each month to cover their costs\nis a solopreneur and isn’t sure how much the business needs to earn to cover expenses and pay them\nis relatively new and wants to establish a financial target early\nhas been operating mostly by instinct and wants a more concrete number to plan around\n\n\nParticipants will get the most out of it if they can bring a rough list of their monthly expenses and a general idea of their income\, pricing\, or funding. They do not need perfectly organized books. \nFor someone with several years of historical data\, multiple business lines\, or a more complex financial model\, the workshop can still be a useful starting point\, but we probably won’t build out the full picture in an hour. That’s the kind of work I can also help with separately.
