Building a People-First Culture with Michel Falcon

Sunday, January 12th @ 9AM-11AM | NYC + Virtual

Michel Falcon is the founder and CEO of Brasa Peruvian Kitchen, international keynote speaker and best-selling author. Michel brings battle-tested strategies from two decades of building remarkable teams from companies like Zillow, Subway, and JP Morgan.. He's seen what works, what fails, and most importantly - what scales.

You'll walk away with:

• A framework for building teams that actually want to stay

• Weekly rituals that turn good teams into great ones

• Communication strategies that cut through the noise

• Practical tools you can implement immediately

This session is limited to 30 founders and will feature smoothies from Brasa Kitchen and a rare opportunity to learn from and connect with one of the most innovative minds in company culture and customer experience.

Limited spots to 30 in person spots - this session will fill up quickly!

Last Week's Highlights

Our signature runs continue to bring together the city's most committed founders. These morning connections prove that some of the strongest relationships are built outside traditional networking environments.

The rain couldn't stop us last week with over 40 founders joining for our Sauna Social at Othership! Despite the rain, 11 dedicated founders kicked off with our morning run, followed by 30 more joining for an energizing sauna social. These moments of shared determination and community spirit truly exemplify what Founders Common is all about.

Recap of the Founder Finance Fireside Chat

Last week's fireside chat with Lauren Pearl (The Growth-Minded CFO) delivered crucial insights for founders wearing the finance hat. As a fractional CFO, 3x founder, and NYU finance instructor, Lauren broke down what founders need to know about financial leadership.

How do you balance finance alongside the million other hats you wear? Do you really need a financial model? Are fractional CFOs actually worth it?
