Hey friend,

Yes, I know. Thanksgiving already happened. Think of this as the second helping: same gratitude, better company and nobody asking you to carve anything.

Every December I catch myself doing the same thing: looking back at the year and wondering where the time went. Whether you lead a team, run a department or own the company, I bet you do too.

So we're setting a table. Come have dinner with other local professionals, share one win from 2026 and talk about what you want 2027 to look like.

After we eat, I'll build an AI teammate live so you can see what it really takes to hand off a piece of your busywork, and how to do it safely. No tech background needed.

You'll go home with your first AI job description, the one thing you want to simplify in 2027 written down and a few new friends who get what you do all day. That's a lot of value for one evening and a $49 dinner.

Save yourself a seat. I'd love to see you there.

Talk soon,
John

John Hansman, CEO of truit

This evening is for you if

  • You lead a team, manage operations or run a business in the Spokane area and want a night off that still moves things forward.
  • You keep hearing about AI but haven't seen what it would actually do for your work.
  • You want to head into 2027 with one clear priority instead of a list of good intentions.

Leftovers worth taking home

Everyone leaves with something more useful than a to-go box. Here's what's yours to keep.

  • Your first AI job description

    A fill-in-the-blank one-pager for the first task worth handing off, plus a short safety checklist.

  • A one-page plan for 2027

    Your Forecast card, filled out at the table so the thinking doesn't get lost in December.

  • A clear picture of AI

    What an AI assistant can and can't do for your work and your team, in plain English.

  • New friends at the table

    An evening with local professionals who are figuring out the same things you are.

  • Your questions, answered

    Face time with John to talk through your own work, not a generic example.

  • The room's best ideas

    A recap of the smartest time-saving ideas shared that night, in your inbox the next morning.

From someone who knows us

I've gotten to know truit and their team over time, and they consistently stand out for being educational, passionate, and deeply committed to helping businesses use technology more effectively.

Education first is how we run every event, from The AI Roundtable to this Friendsgiving table.

What your $49 gets you

That's about what you'd spend on a business lunch. This one sends you home with a plan, new connections and tools you can use the next morning.

Why charge at all? Your ticket covers dinner and tells us how much food and how many chairs to plan for. It also means everyone at the table showed up on purpose.

Good questions

Do I need to be a tech person?

Nope. This is built for business professionals of every kind, from team leads and managers to executives. If John uses a tech word, he'll explain it in plain English right away.

Is this a sales pitch with dinner?

No. It's dinner, good company and one useful lesson. If you'd like help with your 2027 plan afterward, there's an easy way to book time with John. That's it.

What's on the table?

A Friendsgiving dinner and dessert. We'll finalize the menu closer to the date, so tell us about any dietary needs on your RSVP and we'll plan for them.

Why $49?

Your $49 covers dinner, the live AI build, your Forecast card, the First AI Teammate one-pager, time with John and the next-day recap. It's about the price of a business lunch, and you leave with a plan. It also helps us order the right amount of food and means everyone at the table wants to be there.

What if something comes up?

Seats are non-refundable but transferable. Send a colleague in your place by replying to your confirmation email with their name.

Isn't Friendsgiving supposed to be before Thanksgiving?

Usually. Think of this one as the second helping. The turkey coma has worn off, the holiday rush hasn't fully hit and it's the perfect week to plan 2027 before the year runs out. Bonus: you won't have to look at another plate of leftover turkey.

Where do I park?

Parking is available nearby. Directions come in your confirmation email.
