Walking Mastermind™ for Climate Founders and Leaders
We’re excited to bring Walking Mastermind™ to Raleigh-Durham Climate Week, organized by Carolina Climate and Raleigh-Durham Startup Co., and to continue our partnership with Carolina Climate, creating space for founders and leaders to connect, learn from each other, and strengthen the climate community across our region and beyond!
Join climate founders, leaders, community builders, and curious professionals for a walk, meaningful conversations, and an easier way to meet people without having to work the room a moment before the Raleigh-Durham Climate Week (RDCW) officially begins for the first time right here in the Triangle.

Each month we have a theme for the walk:
Our November theme is GRATITUDE, a chance to appreciate the founders and beyond working with purpose toward a healthier planet, recognize those who make that work possible, and pause to give ourselves some credit along the way.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Let’s answer a few questions you might have
🙋 Can I come alone?
Absolutely. Many people do. You do not need to know anyone before you arrive. We will pair you with 1–2 people for the Walk & Talk.
👟 What should I wear?
We let you choose, whether that’s casual, workout clothes, everyday clothes, or whatever you’re wearing to the RDCW event that day. It all works!
We usually walk about 1 mile at a conversational pace, about a 20–25 minute walk, so wear any shoes you’re comfortable walking in around downtown. No special walking gear needed.
💬 What will we talk about?
Each month, we explore a focused theme connected to work, life, and how we navigate both, with a few questions to guide the conversation so you do not have to figure out what to talk about or how to get started when you walk.
The questions are there to get you started, not to keep you on a script. If your conversation takes you somewhere else worth exploring, follow it (we just want you to enjoy the walk & talk).
👋 Do I have to introduce myself to everyone?
No long introductions and no elevator pitches. We start with a quick welcome + opening question, then move into the Walk & Talk.
🤝 What if traditional networking is not my thing?
No pressure to work the room or meet everyone. You will have a focused conversation with 1–2 people while walking side by side. While we wait for everyone to arrive, some people like to chat, and Noa will make sure to introduce you to a few people.
☕ What happens after the walk?
We come back together for a brief reflection on the walk and share a few takeaways.
After that, you are welcome to stay and keep networking at the coworking space or head to a local coffee shop/lunch with someone you met, but you don't have to. If you are done, feel free to go do your thing.
📍 WALKING MASTERMIND™
Walking Mastermind is a monthly community connection experience designed to help you step away from the day-to-day, explore a focused theme, and gain fresh perspectives through conversation outdoors.
You’ll be paired with fellow participants, guided by a few questions, and invited to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and meet new people while you walk.
We’ve found that a little structure makes networking easier. The questions are there to get the conversation started, not to keep you on a script, giving you just enough structure to settle into the conversation, learn something about someone new, enjoy the fresh air, and perhaps leave with a new perspective or a conversation worth continuing afterward.
Walking Mastermind is led by Noa Ronen, CEO & Founder of ADVAgo.co.
ADVAgo creates simple systems that make meaningful peer conversations easier, so people can relax, connect, learn from one another, and strengthen collaboration, communication, and trust across teams, organizations, communities, and beyond.
Know someone who would add to the conversation? Bring a friend or share this event with them.
