<div class="bbWrapper">Hi, Just clicked on the links for the groups and was told they no longer exist. This leads me to a question... Is setting up a local meetup group to discuss entrepreneurial ideas and also discussing the books contents somehow an infringement on <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/1/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="1" data-username="@MJ DeMarco">@MJ DeMarco</a> and his intellectual property? I wouldn&#039;t want to run afoul of any laws or rules...</div>

Meetup allows for getting attention from people who aren&#039;t aware. However, if this is the audience, it will be less about deep discussions in the beginning and more about getting people introduced to the basic concepts.</div>
