In this first‑person testimonial, the speaker recounts how they joined the LX Council’s inaugural Roanoke group after reaching out to Tina. They explain that they were looking for a peer community that values genuine connection over bragging about revenue, where vulnerability is encouraged. The speaker highlights how the group’s structure fosters accountability—members follow through on commitments made in meetings—and how continuous communication via email and one‑on‑one or group advice exchanges extends support beyond the twice‑monthly gatherings. Overall, the speaker describes the experience as joyful and valuable, emphasizing the importance of having reliable peers to lean on for both professional and personal challenges.

Chapters

We are kind of at a turning point, and I felt like I needed that support. Alex Council came to mind, so I reached out to Tina, and strangely enough, they were starting their inaugural group in Roanoke, which is right nearby, so that worked out very well. One thing that I went in knowing that I needed was people who were real, you know, not a group where you just go in and talk about your revenue numbers and brag about what a great job you did, but where you're allowed to be vulnerable and encouraged to open up because that's the only way you get real value out of it. And the process that LX Council has absolutely facilitates that from day one. So it was reassuring, and I knew at that moment that this was the place for me. I wanted to have a group of people who were going to hold me accountable for things, and that I definitely have. It's funny when you, when you commit to something in one meeting, you really make sure that you went back and did that. It's not just the twice a month, our group anyway, and I'm sure that every group has its own dynamic. And we're emailing all the time and, you know, asking advice and questions and, do you know somebody that can help me with this? Or, you know, do you have any advice about that? Sometimes it's one-on-one, sometimes it's with the whole group. It really is just, you know, people to lean on and people that you can reach out to. It's been a, it's been a joy to be a part of.
