Are you searching for high-level thinkers making a difference in the world and pushing themselves to be all that they were put on this earth to be?

We're Karmen and Shane Feist of Madison and are looking to expand our circle of friends to collaborate, support and have fun with like-minded couples in the area.

We aren't "Bible Thumpers" by any stretch and in all honesty aren't even comfortable praying in public, but we feel drawn to connect with other Christians just doing life in the Madison area.

We want to be part of a community of people who push us further than we ever thought we could go, while we encourage and build up other Christian Entrepreneurs.

We're looking for a group that will not only support each others business when possible and offer referrals but who will be there for each other to bounce ideas off of and to be able to be not just cheerleaders but also be able to be the kind of friends that we all need sometimes. We know that cheerleaders will only get us so far, but real friends will tell you things that you don't want to hear but need to.

And we don't want it to all be about business either. While we know that it's easy to make our businesses our main focus in life, that's not what life's about and if we're going to spend all this time working hard we need to find a way to play hard to and make it all worth it.

This group isn't meant to be a business referral network, if that's what you're looking for, please continue your search.

It's also not meant to be a "support" group in the typical sense. We are looking for individuals who are action takers which also means we're looking for people who take ownership and don't make excuses.

The reality is, that the more growth we have personally and the more success we have, the harder it is to care about small talk and the weather or which Kardashian married who this week... which also makes it harder to find "real" friendships.

If you find yourself in the same boat, let's "meet up".
