The Most Valuable Connection You Can Make This Thanksgiving

In partnership with

This Thanksgiving week, as we gather with family and friends, our hearts turn to gratitude. I am deeply thankful for the communities that have shaped my journey. When I returned to California seven years ago, I was not just looking for a place to live. I was looking for a place to belong. I found that at Vive Church, where Pastor Kiera and the community embraced my family and made us feel seen. I learned that true transformation is never meant to happen in isolation.

This holiday weekend, the world is focused on a different kind of connection. News reports say nearly 187 million people are expected to shop, with sales topping a trillion dollars for the first time. There is a frenzy of transactions. But I believe the most valuable connections are not transactional. They are transformational.

Whether in faith or in business, growth happens when we connect with people on a deeper level. In my mastermind groups and at my church, I found the encouragement and accountability to stretch my vision. This is the power of community. It is also the secret to building a successful business in 2026.

For years, the classic online business model was to build a huge email list and sell a low priced course. It is a slow process with low conversion rates. But my friend, Aurelian Amacker, discovered a better way. He started talking to people on the phone.

He found he could convert one third of the people he spoke with into a $6,000 coaching program. Why? Because he was not selling. He was connecting. He was listening. He was building a relationship, just like the ones we cherish in our communities. He was practicing a form of service, understanding their needs before asking for anything.

This is the new system for launching a business. It is built on genuine human connection, not just automated sales pages. The problem was, he was still selling his time. So he built a system to scale it. He now has a salesperson and a coach, allowing his business to grow to $60,000 per month with very little of his own time spent.

If I were starting all over again in 2026, I would not focus on building a huge, anonymous list. I would focus on building real connections, one conversation at a time.

To save you the years of trial and error, Aurelian has put together an online course that teaches you this entire system. You will learn how to launch a premium offer, build your audience, and scale your business. A single hour of coaching with Aurelian would cost you $1,000. This course gives you his complete system.

As we wrap up 2025, you can get the course for a price that makes it accessible to everyone who is serious about growth.

This Thanksgiving, I encourage you to invest in the power of connection. Whether it is by spending more intentional time with your community or by learning how to truly connect with your customers, remember that you were never meant to grow alone. That is a truth worth being thankful for.
