A curated event series for entrepreneurs who love to connect, share, and experience something new — together.
📍NEW YORK📍
These events are for founders who’ve been in business for at least two years and are craving real connection — the kind that comes from being around other entrepreneurs who understand the pressure, the overwhelm, the wins, and the moments of “am I doing this right?” It’s for those building something real who want honest conversations, ego-free community, and a space to exhale, feel supported, and not do this alone.
A short, no-fluff application that helps us make sure the right mix of personalities, energy, and stories are in the room. If you want to be part of this experience, this is where you show us why you belong at the table.
We’re curating this experience with intention. If chosen, you’ll receive a formal invitation via email. If invited, you’ll get all the details you need so you can officially claim your seat.
This is where the connection starts flowing. We’ll participate in an activity together, loosen up, laugh a little, and let real conversation happen naturally — no pressure, just good vines, real moments, and genuine community.
THE TAKEAWAY
Nothing — this experience is completely free. No ticket cost. No upsells. No “surprise” coaching pitch at the end. Why? Because we’re here to help real business owners learn, grow, and build the kind of community that actually leads to results. Every entrepreneur deserves access to strategy, support, and space to level up. That’s also why this application process is personal — we want to get to know you, your business, and your goals to make sure we can actually help you grow. Your only investment? Time, energy, and the commitment to implement what you learn after the experience — because transformation doesn’t happen in the room, it happens when you take action after it.
You’ll start by applying. We’re curating a powerful group of entrepreneurs who’ve been in the game and have something real to say. If selected, you’ll receive an invitation via email.
3. "Where is it happening?"
Each event is different, but all events will take place in New York City. If there are multiple locations for one event (e.g. location hopping), transportation will be provided from the first location to the last so we can keep the energy going uninterrupted.
Nope — this one’s personal. Every seat is curated intentionally, and the energy works best when everyone’s fully present. Don’t worry though, your business will be shouted out by our team (and tagged) across all podcast content shared on The Business Gym pages.
Absolutely. All content will be filmed, edited, and shared across The Business Gym’s platforms. Your business name and social handles will be tagged and featured in every post you’re a part of — so this is exposure and experience in one.
Life happens, but please don’t ghost us. Each seat is valuable and highly limited — if you’re accepted and can’t attend, let us know ASAP so another deserving entrepreneur can take your spot.
Hey there! I’m Jamilla Phillip — retired business coach, Founder of The Business Gym, and proof that you can build success on your own terms.
My journey started with cake (yes, cake) back in 2007 when I turned a simple baking side hustle into a six-figure business that landed me on the Food Network and The Cooking Channel.
From there, I built and scaled — eventually hitting seven figures (still pinching myself).
After years of coaching entrepreneurs and teaching systems that helped them hit record-breaking revenue, I decided to shift gears. These days, I’m no longer chasing launches — I’m building community.
Now, my mission is simple: bring business owners together to connect, grow, and have real conversations about what it actually takes to succeed — without burnout or false promises.
If you’re ready to grow with strategy, authenticity, and community — you’re in the right place.
Let’s build smarter, together.
