Any Meet Ups for Oahu, Hawaii?
Aloha! Are there any BP members here that meet up regularly in Oahu? I would love to surround myself with local REI experts.

Aloha @Jason Pasion
Surrounding yourself with local experts is not as easy as you might think in Hawaii - to begin with, there are not many "local experts" here. Some of those who are experts prefer to fly below the radar, and are not much into networking, or have little need for it. REI MasterMind is a group that only allows members who are experienced. As a result, the meetings are small (25-40 attendees) but the quality is there, in the sense that everyone in attendance has actually done deals.
Most of the other groups tend to attract beginners. Some will even (believe-it-or-not), steer their members toward Multi-Level Marketing "opportunities." ;-)
If you want to find out about the next meeting, etc., reach out to @Cory Nemoto.
