Attention Seeker with Grace Lancer

Grace Lancer

In Nov' 2025, I had a rare empty weekend with zero plans and, as an extrovert who likes to socialise, I found myself thinking, 'I wish I could meet up with some new people right now and go do something fun!'. I knew if I was feeling that pull for new connection, others would be too. So, I put together a simple message, shared it immediately in a FB group and within 24 hours, 100 people had already joined my new community. It's been growing fast ever since. Rebel Rising takes you behind the scenes of growing and monetising this IRL community, REBEL IRL, to 1k members in year one. Come follow!
