In partnership with

Servus Munich! 👋

Let’s get straight to it! Cape Town Season 25/26 is coming 🌴

We’re waking the FOMO Cape Town WhatsApp Group from hibernation mode.

In just 2 years, the group grew from 150 to 1,024 members (maxed out on WhatsApp!) with 200+ on the waitlist. It's was the WhatsApp Group to be in for anyone in Cape Town.

To maintain high, we’re introducing a small one-time entry fee. This helps to ensure only the real Cape Town crew joins (and not just those catching FOMO from afar 😉), while giving us the resources to keep the vibe high and the experience next-level.

Our mission? Quite simple! Connecting awesome people, spreading good vibes, and making every moment amazing!

Are you going to CPT this winter season? 👉 Join the FOMO Cape Town WhatsApp Group. 

Not going to Cape Town, just join the FOMO Munich WhatsApp Group.

To be even more active in Berlin, with over 1500 readers for now. 👉 We are looking for someone who would be interested in driving our Munich newsletter and events. Please DM me.

Servus, Munich

The Future of AI Communication Starts Here

Every day great ideas fade because turning complex thinking into clear communication takes time most people do not have.

Pressmaster.ai changes that. It captures how you think, amplifies it into powerful communication, and shares it in your authentic voice.

This is not about writing faster. It is about thinking louder.

Join us on October 15 at 12 PM ET or 6 PM CET for The Worlds First AI Built for Cognitive Amplification.

Discover how one short conversation becomes thirty days of strategic and market ready content.

Be part of the launch of a new category where AI becomes part of your cognitive architecture.
