A New Wave of Collaboration Is Coming

Across the region, a powerful shift is taking place. Veterans are rising. Young leaders are stepping forward. Creatives, entrepreneurs, athletes, and community organizers are hungry for places where they can connect, build, and grow.

That’s why Group 7 Collaborative Networking Events are officially launching — coming to an area near you.

Group 7 is more than a movement.

It’s more than a fitness challenge.

It’s more than media and motivation.

Group 7 is a culture of connection — a network that builds leaders by bringing communities together.

And now, we’re bringing this culture directly to local cities, gyms, campuses, and community centers across Southern California.

⸻

What Are Group 7 Collaborative Networking Events?

Think of them as high-energy gatherings where purpose-driven people come together to share skills, build momentum, and open doors for each other.

Each event blends:

🔥 Veteran leadership

🔥 Youth empowerment

🔥 Creative collaboration

🔥 Fitness & wellness culture

🔥 Emergency preparedness training

🔥 Business & community networking

🔥 RRTV media opportunities

🔥 Live Group 7 challenges, meetups, and activations

Group 7 events are interactive, inspiring, and packed with opportunities to connect with people who are building, not complaining…

growing, not shrinking…

leading, not waiting.

This is networking for a new generation.

Who These Events Are For

Group 7 is intentionally diverse. This movement thrives on bringing together people who might not normally cross paths:

• Veterans looking to rebuild purpose and connect

• Teens & young adults seeking leadership and mentorship

• Creatives, musicians, filmmakers, and performers

• Fitness coaches, gym owners, and tactical athletes

• Entrepreneurs & small business owners

• Nonprofits, educators, and community leaders

• First responders and emergency preparedness teams

• Everyday people searching for motivation, support, or community

If you want to grow, serve, collaborate, or level up — Group 7 is for you.

Why Group 7? The Identity Behind the Movement

Group 7 was built on a simple truth:

**You don’t run from the storm.

You ARE the storm.**

In Group 7 culture, the “storm” is not chaos —

it’s transformation.

It’s the discipline of the Warrior Activated lifestyle.

It’s the leadership development of JLBC cadets.

It’s the storytelling force of RRTV.

It’s the empowerment of Covenant of Courage veterans.

Group 7 events bring all of these worlds together — one room, one community, one mission.
