What’s Your Setup?

A room of Chicago founders, freelancers, solopreneurs, builders, and agency owners comparing how we actually run our days. Because you're not slow. You're doing the same work twice. Same proposal from a blank page. Same explanation to a new client. Same twenty minutes every morning working out where to start, navigating tools, finding information, blocking calendars, documenting work. None of it billable. All of it important. And chances are, someone else in the room has figured out a better way to do at least some of it. Last time, we heard about second brains, AI-powered job searches, automated research, content workflows, project management systems, and tools people had built into their everyday work. This time, we're going deeper. Hosted by Anindya Singh Obi, building HuTouch. How it works Come ready with two things: 1. One pain you need solved.Something repetitive, annoying, time-consuming, or something you've tried to fix and still haven't figured out. 2. One idea you can share.A tool, workflow, automation, prompt, AI setup, system, or weird little hack that's made your work easier. Everyone gets up to 5 minutes. One person. One pain. One idea. Five minutes. Then we open it up to the room. We're not looking for polished presentations. Show us the messy version that actually works. How the afternoon runs 2:00 - Doors, snacks, settle in2:15 - Why we're here + quick introductions2:30 to 4:00 - One conversation at a time. Share your pain. Share your setup. Get ideas. Trade notes. Trade LinkedIns. Trade skills.md files. At the end, everyone writes down whose idea they're actually going to try that week. Most mentions takes home the goody bag. We'll ask a few questions when you register about what you do, where your time goes, and the tools and systems you already use. That helps us curate a mix of people bringing different problems, experiences, and ideas to the table. What you take home Who should come Builders. Freelancers. Solopreneurs. Consultants. Small agency and studio owners. People running two or three things at once.
