The ChainMeet Movement of Inspiring Forward
Why ChainMeet?
Dear Reader,
Have you ever felt lonely or isolated, even in a room full of people? Maybe you’ve struggled with a negative self-image or found yourself doubting your worth as a friend. You’re not alone. Many of us grapple with those feelings, worrying that we don’t have anything valuable to offer or that we won’t be accepted or included. It’s tough when self-doubt creeps in, making us feel like we’re on the outside looking in. I get it; been there, done that.
That’s exactly why I created ChainMeet. I wanted to find a way to tackle these feelings head-on and help others rediscover their self-worth and confidence. The solution? A super simple 4-step blueprint called Meet-Treat-Eat-Repeat, rooted in the principles of Others-Love and Reciprocity. This isn’t just another social gimmick; it’s about real connections that make a difference!
The Heartbeat of ChainMeet
When you engage in a ChainMeet, you’re not just meeting someone for coffee or a meal; you’re opening the door to genuine interactions that uplift you and the people around you. Imagine feeling self-confident and worthy of being your authentic self, knowing that you matter in this world and that you can make a positive impact. The joy of meaningful connection leads to a fulfilling sense of purpose.
And here’s the best part: when you support and uplift others through your ChainMeets, you experience the magic of Reciprocity. It’s that incredible feeling of being encouraged, affirmed, and validated—like a warm hug for your spirit. When you KNOW and FEEL you’re valued and appreciated, it empowers you to step out of your comfort zone and chase your dreams.
The Purpose Behind ChainMeet
So, why wait? Let’s break the cycle of loneliness together. With ChainMeet, you can reclaim the joy of connection and become the best version of yourself while helping others do the same. It’s time to embrace hope, excitement, and the incredible possibility of making a difference—one ChainMeet at a time!
Journeying together,
Welcome to the ChainMeet Movement!

The ChainMeet Methodology:
Meet, Treat, Eat, Repeat
How do you bring Friendtentional moments into your life? Just follow our 4 simple steps: Meet, Treat, Eat, Repeat. ChainMeet encourages you to go beyond surface-level talks. We believe that the act of treating—sharing a meal or experience—creates room for honest conversations and genuine connections. So, pick a spot, meet up, treat them to something special (no going Dutch!), share an experience, and then repeat. It’s as transformative as it sounds!
Meet
Take the first easy step of being friendtentional: send a ChainMeet invite to a VF to hang out together one-on-one, face-to-face, just the two of you. Even the invitation will brighten their day and set the stage for impact!
Treat
Meet at a coffee shop, pizza café, a pub, or a pastry shop, wherever – this is where you get to be creative. Treat them to a favorite coffee, pizza, after-dinner drink, a donut or two, again, whatever you choose; this makes it affordable. Then sweeten the treat by honoring them with your complete focus and attention.
Eat
Repeat
REPEAT it all again – Keep inspiring forward! Invite another VF to a ChainMeet, and another…. That’s changing the world around you, simply one friend at a time!
Don’t forget to post your meeting on ChainMeet to inspire others! Go to your Activity Page to memorialize the awesome time with your buddy: Snap a selfie of the two of you during your ChainMeet and upload it. Share your experience: Tag them and mention the restaurant you visited. Imagine how they will feel when you publicly show appreciation for your VF!
