Take Control Of Your Life, Freedom From Negative Thoughts & Irrational Emotions

Take Control Of Your Life, Freedom From Negative Thoughts & Irrational Emotions

Wed, Oct 21, 11:00 PM
From What Controls Your Emotions Happiness and Confidence
4.9

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.

< $200 /Month, Ready for Infinity: Modernizing CRM with Claude + AWS in 90 Days

< $200 /Month, Ready for Infinity: Modernizing CRM with Claude + AWS in 90 Days

Tue, Oct 20, 9:30 PM
From Columbus AWS (Amazon Web Services) Meetup
4.7

What happens when a fast-growing business outgrows a CRM built to handle 100–200 customers a year? In this session, I'll walk through how I used Claude and AWS to modernize the entire operation in just three months, scaling it to handle an unlimited number of customers for under $200 a month. We'll start with the foundation: a serverless sync that pulls CRM data into RDS Postgres every hour during business hours, plus on demand when key operations happen. This gives the business fast, flexible reporting without overloading the CRM. From there, we'll look at how leads from multiple sources now flow through a single Lambda function, and how new front-end and back-end tools transformed lead handling, sales pipeline visibility, and company-wide reporting. You'll also get the behind-the-scenes examples that made this pace possible: * CI/CD pipelines that let you deploy quickly and often * Using code reviews as the main quality gate for every release * Tips for writing a CLAUDE.md file that maximizes your workflow * A shared STYLE.md that keeps standards consistent across projects * Splitting and combining projects with separate CloudFormation templates so they stay easy to update and simple to maintain Whether you're a solo developer, a consultant, or part of a lean team, you'll leave with practical patterns for building scalable, low-cost systems on AWS, and for getting the most out of AI as a development partner. **SPEAKER BIO** Angelo Mandato is an AWS Columbus User Group leader, AWS Community Builder, and Certified Solutions Architect - Associate who has been developing solutions on AWS since 2007. https://angelo.mandato.com **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

From CBusDATA - Central Ohio Microsoft Data Platform User Group
4.7

**Beyond Basic Text-to-SQL: Building Enterprise-Grade Conversational AI with Databricks Genie** Conversational AI is transforming how business leaders and data teams interact with enterprise knowledge, but translating natural language into reliable, enterprise-grade business intelligence requires far more than standard Text-to-SQL capabilities. In this session, we explore how **Databricks Genie** delivers accurate, context-aware, and secure conversational analytics across the lakehouse platform. How does it all come together? You'll learn about: * **Unity Catalog as the Foundation:** Discover why conversational AI is only as good as its underlying governance and metadata. Learn how Unity Catalog provides the granular access controls, lineage, unified metadata, and rich semantic context essential for generating trustworthy, safe, and compliant analytical insights. * **Genie Agents:** Go beyond single-prompt queries to explore how autonomous Genie Agents handle complex multi-turn reasoning, iterative problem-solving, and workflow orchestration across complex datasets. * **Genie One:** Experience how Genie One unifies natural language interaction, visualization, and deep enterprise analytics into a seamless, high-performance platform experience. Whether you are a data leader aiming to democratize self-service analytics or an architect building next-generation AI workflows, this talk will provide actionable insights and practical patterns for leveraging Databricks Genie to make data accessible to everyone across your organization.

How to Take Control of YOUR Mental Health

How to Take Control of YOUR Mental Health

Fri, Oct 16, 10:30 PM
From Overcoming Stress & Anxiety by Improving Your Mind
4.3

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.
