On this episode of OWC’s Leaders & Gamechangers, Setorii speaks with the CEO of IVY.com, Beri Meric about how to create content people love & what it takes to grow an engaged community.

Connections can help pivot our lives. They can pave the way leading our businesses, adding value to our lives by enriching our personal selves and having the right people in our circle can help push us to become our best selves. There are a plethora of social networking groups and endless possibilities for us to choose from but our time is limited in life. We are all busy working to provide for ourselves and many of us can get caught up in the same circles and the same friends because we do not have the time to sift through the networking groups and attend social interactive experiences. We may try to find the friends and contacts that are the most fitting for our personal interests, align with people that help us achieve our dreams and or just really like someone we were lucky to mee and want to know them better. 

In a world of sensory overload and limited time these days, how can we find the best experiences for ourselves? IVY Connect has been a social networking group that is a collective of professionals, entrepreneurship, dreamers, doers, leaders and mentors and their team has created events, gatherings, curated meet-ups, arranged learning sessions and much more for many years. Setorii has been part of IVY since close to their beginning. They carefully curated strategic meetups to ensure members were meeting the right people that could help them thrive and they also truly cared about adding value to members lives. 


What does value mean today? How can we all add value to others lives? How can we find the right people to add value to ours? On this episode of OWC’s Leaders & GameChangers, Setorii speaks with Beri Meric who created a brand and company that does exactly this. Beri is the CEO and co-founder of IVY. He and his teams tirelessly has given many years of inspiring efforts which paved the way to show that human value, social currency and learning from others. They creates an evolving place and come together for the greater good. IVY strives to help us all become our best version of ourselves. They help us learn from the best, find the right possible mentors, bring advice from great investors, and align us with leaders that believe in what we may be doing. Beri and his team help take us out of our normal habits by creating new patterns and fueling new experiences to help us follow our dreams while having some great new friends to cheer us on as we go. On this episode of Leaders & GameChangers we will learn what it takes to make a community that loves to be part of the ecosystem, get tips on how to add value to people’s lives that has a ripple effect, create memorable events that keeps people talking long after, entrepreneurial advice and how to create content people want to pay to watch.
