Food for Thought: Relational Clarity for Visionary Leadership
ABOUT EVENT
The relationship you are avoiding is the one running your business.
You left the corporate job. You built the thing. You bet on yourself when nobody else would.
And now you are sitting in a room you built with your own hands, wondering why it still feels like you are performing. Performing for investors who do not text back. For followers who watch but never engage. For a version of success that was never yours to begin with.
Here is the part nobody talks about at demo days: the way you handle conflict in your partnerships is the same way you handle it at your kitchen table. The way you avoid hard conversations with your co-founder is the same way you avoided them long before you had a co-founder. Your relational patterns did not stay personal. They became operational. They are running your hiring decisions, your pricing conversations, your ability to ask for what you are worth, and your willingness to walk away from what you are not.
You do not have a strategy problem. You have a clarity problem. And it lives in the relationships you have been too busy, too proud, or too tired to examine.
April 29th. A Dinner. A Conversation. A Room That Tells the Truth.
Food for Thought is hosting an intimate dinner experience with Chrishonna Greene, licensed therapist, relationship strategist, and founder of Healed Love™, for a guided conversation on Relational Clarity for Visionary Leadership. Guided by the Healed Love™ Relational Clarity Framework, this evening will help founders examine the relational patterns shaping how they lead, build, and connect.
This is not a lecture. This is not therapy. This is not a networking event where you collect 40 cards and remember zero names. This is a chef-prepared dinner with a curated room of purpose-driven professionals and founders in the DMV, facilitated by someone whose entire body of work is built to help high-performers see the relational wiring they cannot see alone.
WHO IS CHRISHONNA GREENE?
Chrishonna Greene is a licensed therapist, relationship strategist, and the founder of Healed Love™, a framework that helps high-performing individuals understand how their relational patterns shape every area of their lives. The ones they label "personal" and the ones they label "just business." She brings warmth, precision, and a rare ability to make complex relational dynamics feel accessible, practical, and immediately useful.
She is not coming to diagnose you. She is coming to help you see clearly. And once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
WHO THIS DINNER IS FOR
The founder who left corporate but brought the people-pleasing with them. The builder who confused isolation with independence and now wonders why the team keeps fracturing. The purpose-driven professional who knows they are meant for more but keeps running races that were never theirs to run. The leader who has optimized everything in their business except how they relate to the people in it.
If you are in the DMV building something real, and you are tired of performing for audiences who do not matter, this room was built for you.
WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH
Language for the things you have been feeling but could not name. A clearer understanding of how your relational wiring shows up in your leadership, your partnerships, and your capacity to build something sustainable. Practical frameworks you can apply to the conversations you have been avoiding. Greater clarity on which relationships are strengthening what you are building and which ones are quietly working against it. And a room full of founders who believe that how you lead matters as much as what you build.
My father used to teach me through action, not audition. He never performed for a room he did not respect, and he never ran a race that was not his. That wisdom is the foundation of everything we build at Food for Thought. Less but better. Depth over volume. The right room over the biggest room.
This dinner is limited to ensure intimacy and depth.

TICKET TIERS
THE TABLE | $149 — 10 seats available
Your entry point to a room most founders never find.
If you have been building alone, performing for people who watch but never engage, this is where that stops. Not with a sales pitch or forced small talk. With a table of founders and purpose-driven professionals who showed up because they are done pretending that isolation is independence. Done running races that were never theirs.
What is included:
Multi-course chef-prepared dinner in a private venue. Chrishonna Greene's interactive Relational Clarity for Visionary Leadership session, grounded in the Relational Clarity framework. Printed relational clarity framework and reflection worksheet at your place setting. Structured networking where everyone meets everyone. No awkward corners. Pre-dinner attendee profiles sent 48 hours before the event so you know who is in the room before you walk in. Professional event photography. Post-dinner digital connection package with attendee contacts, LinkedIn intros, and shared resources.
Think about what you already spend to build your business. Coworking memberships. Conference tickets. Networking dues. Courses you have not finished. This is a private chef dinner, a licensed therapist and relational strategist, a vetted room of peers, a printed framework, and professional photography. For less than your monthly coworking fee. And it is tax-deductible as a professional development expense.
Already more than most $300+ conferences deliver. And you will remember the names of the people you met.
THE INNER CIRCLE | $249 — 9 seats available
For founders who do not just want to attend. They want to leave with momentum.
You have done the networking. Collected the cards. Sat through panels where people performed expertise instead of sharing it. You know the difference between being in a room and actually being connected to the people in it. The Inner Circle exists because connection without follow-through is just a nice evening. We are building the follow-through.
Everything in The Table, PLUS:
Pre-dinner matchmaking. We connect you with 2 specific founders before the event based on your intake form. You are not hoping for the right conversation. We are engineering it. Priority seating with your matched connections. Post-dinner facilitated introductions. We personally connect you via email to your top 3 connection requests within 48 hours. Post-event accountability check-in. 7-day follow-through, not just follow-up. Priority registration for future Food for Thought dinners.
A single warm introduction to the right founder, advisor, or collaborator is worth more than $249 to your business. We are guaranteeing you multiple. Plus matchmaking, accountability follow-through, and priority access to every dinner after this one. Every dollar is a deductible professional development investment.
You are not buying a seat. You are buying a shortcut to the relationships that would have taken you 6 months of networking to find on your own.
FOUNDER'S CIRCLE | $497 — 4 seats available
The inner room. For founders who invest in access, not just attendance.
Four seats. Not four hundred. Four. This tier exists because some founders have learned the hard way that the most expensive rooms are not the ones you pay for. They are the ones you never get invited to. The ones where people stop performing and start building.
This is your invitation.
Everything in The Inner Circle, PLUS:
20-minute pre-dinner strategy conversation with Chris Caldwell. Phone or in-person before the event. Come to the table with clarity about your relational blind spots, not cold. Curated introductions to the other Founder's Circle members. A room within the room. Post-program VIP debrief with Chrishonna Greene. After the main session ends and the room clears, you stay. 20 to 30 minutes of direct conversation with a licensed therapist and relational strategist. The questions you did not ask in front of the room. The Relational Clarity framework applied to your specific situation, your specific partnerships, your specific patterns. Four founders. One expert. No audience. First access to the post-event relational clarity insights and case study data from the evening. Guaranteed seat at all Food for Thought dinners for 12 months. Never compete for a seat again. One guest pass. Bring a founder you believe in to a future dinner, on us.
What $497 actually gets you: a private strategy session with Chris, a VIP debrief with Chrishonna Greene, a peer group within a peer group, guaranteed access for a full year, and a guest pass worth $149+. That is before the matchmaking, the accountability follow-through, the photography, or the dinner itself. A single session with a licensed therapist runs $150 to $300. A business coach runs $200 to $500. A conference ticket runs $300 to $1,500. You are getting both, plus dinner, plus a year of access. And it is fully tax-deductible.
4 seats. That is it. This tier exists because some founders do not want to hope the room is good. They want to guarantee it.
YOUR INVESTMENT (AND WHY YOUR CPA WILL APPROVE)
Your ticket is structured as a professional development expense with documented programming, expert facilitation, and business-purpose networking. Every receipt is itemized:
Professional Development and Strategy Roundtable Registration Fee. Business Meal and Non-Alcoholic Beverages. Alcohol itemized separately (standard for business expense documentation).
After the write-off at a 30% bracket: The Table ($149) = roughly $104 out of pocket. The Inner Circle ($249) = roughly $174 out of pocket. Founder's Circle ($497) = roughly $348 out of pocket.
You already invest in your business every month. Coworking spaces. Software subscriptions. Professional memberships. This is a private dinner with a licensed therapist and relational strategist, a private chef, a vetted room of founders, and structured accountability follow-up. After the write-off, it costs less than most of those monthly subscriptions.
We recommend consulting your tax advisor or CPA regarding deductibility for your specific situation.
