Presents
LIVING A CREATIVE LIFE
with Rob Schwartz
Saturday Brunch, January 24, 2026 11 AM - 1:30 PM, NYC
Curiosity Connections is a Village, a place where we gather to trade small talk for real talk, and where wisdom flows across different paths and experiences.
This January, our Village welcomes Rob Schwartz, former Chief Creative Officer, CEO, and now Certified Performance and Leadership Coach to guide us into the question: What does it really mean to live a creative life?
Over brunch, we’ll explore how to design our days with imagination and intention, and how to break past the barriers that keep us from living more fully. This is not a lecture — it’s a hands-on experience where each of us will begin crafting a blueprint for a more creative, enriching life.
Come hungry for connection, conversation, and community. Leave with clarity to make 2026 your most creative chapter yet.
Minding Your Own Business
After exploring The Power of Your Difference in April, our September gathering turned inward—toward what it truly means to protect our peace and prioritize what matters most. Minding Your Business with Lan Phan, peak performance expert and author of Do This Daily, invited us to rethink success not as doing more, but as aligning our energy with what sustains us.
Lan guided us through questions that still linger: Who were you before the world told you who you needed to be? What are you ready to let go of to fly higher? With honesty and humor, she showed us that minding our business is less about boundaries alone and more about reclaiming clarity, purpose, and joy.
In Curiosity Connections style, a thoughtful group of visionaries and seekers gathered over brunch at the Gansevoort Hotel. Together, we examined the daily practices that help us thrive, and the courage it takes to shed what weighs us down.
It was reflective. It was restorative. And it was a reminder that tending to ourselves is the first step to creating the life and impact we desire.
Curiosity Connections isn’t about networking. It’s about building the muscle of curiosity in spaces that welcome all of you.

Power of Your Difference
Following our January launch, Your Next Move, our April gathering went deeper—into what makes each of us a phenomenon in our own right.
This time, we explored The Power of Your Difference with LauraAura Wallace: mindset coach, keynote speaker, and host of The Gutsy Podcast. Known for helping bold humans reconnect with their voice and vision, LauraAura guided us through a soulful conversation on embracing individuality and honoring the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to quiet down.
In true Curiosity Connections style, 24 visionaries and seekers gathered over brunch to unpack how standing out—when done thoughtfully and authentically—can unlock new possibilities. Together, we examined what happens when we stop conforming and start creating a life that feels like our own.It was tender. It was true. And it was a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is show up as ourselves.Curiosity Connections isn’t about networking. It’s about remembering who you are in rooms that welcome all of you.
Your Next Move Gathering
Featured Expert: Kimberly Brown, Founder - Brown Leadership, Author, Podcaster
Your Next Move
Our very first Curiosity Connections brunch set the tone for everything to come.
Centered around the theme Your Next Move, we invited guests to reflect on growth—not just professionally, but personally. With career and leadership expert Kimberly Brown, author of Next Move, Best Move, we explored what it means to build a career that aligns with your values, your ambition, and your whole self.
Kimberly brought her signature blend of clarity, compassion, and no-nonsense strategy to the conversation. She challenged us to stop shrinking our dreams and instead step boldly into the next chapter—whatever that looks like for each of us.
Over a beautifully curated brunch and heartfelt dialogue, 24 visionaries gathered not just to listen, but to connect—deeply and honestly. We shared stories, asked real questions, and left with more confidence, clarity, and courage than we walked in with. It wasn’t about having all the answers. It was about daring to ask the right questions in a room that felt safe enough to hold them.
Curiosity Connections began with this simple premise: when we stop performing and start connecting, magic happens. And from that very first gathering, it did.
