MEET THE BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS

We are a diverse group of highly respected business professionals who work or live in the community.

We meet once a month for casual, breakfast meetings with timely presentations by engaging speakers in-the-know.

You are invited to join us for breakfast, lively conversation, and the chance to experience our speaker series on the third Thursday of every month (except December) from 7:30am – 9am.

 

We meet at Nirvana Grille at 303 Broadway St  #101  Laguna Beach, CA 92651. Guest fee of $30 includes buffet breakfast (cash or check only - no credit cards).

 

One visit to a LBBC meeting and you’ll see we are a friendly, lively and casual group.  Our gatherings are free from any referral or networking requirements.  We are about friendship, diversity, curiosity, and professional and personal growth.  Monthly speakers come to inspire, support, inform, and sometimes entertain us.  We are also focused on staying connected to the business community and each other in an informal but meaningful way.  Our annual Holiday Party is a favorite tradition.

 

LBBC was launched and founded in 1996 by a handful of local professionals and entrepreneurs and incorporated in 1998.  The intent was to spark an ongoing conversation around business opportunities and shared insights within the context of our community and our lives.

 

The Club has grown into a vibrant group of successful men and women from a broad spectrum of businesses, meeting for breakfast on a monthly basis.  The tradition continues­, building and maintaining a pool of professionals and businesses we are proud to recommend to our clients and friends.

 

LBBC membership is by application only.  We allow one member for each classification of business, specialty or profession.  Reasonable quarterly dues cover the cost of breakfast meetings and cooperative marketing.

Award-winning film and TV producer

April 21, 2022, 7:30AM

After graduating with an incredibly useful degree in philosophy from UC Santa Cruz, Sean Cook decided he would live in Florence, Italy for "a year or so." He figured he'd teach a bit of English, ride a scooter around the city like in a Fellini movie and learn to speak some Italian. While there he worked as an English teacher, Italian translator and then as the owner/manager of a largish English school in a medium-sized city on Italy's second biggest island, Sardinia. Never having really intended to move to Italy permanently, and having noticed that twenty-six years had elapsed since his arrival there in 1994, he decided it might be time to move back to the US, which he did in July of 2021, with his wife and two teenagers in tow. He has recently founded the online language school, Ciao Languages, where it is theoretically possible to study any language you could care to learn. He works from his office/home on Holly Street, right next to his mom and step dad's house (Pam and Al Oligino), just like a nice Italian family.

May 19, 2022, 7:30AM

After 30 years as a successful financial planner, Patrick decided to pursue another passion.

November 18, 2021, 7:30AM

Billy Fried grew up in Baltimore and graduated from Amherst College with a degree in English Literature and Asian Studies. Billy worked as a waiter in Honolulu, where he saved enough money to travel the world with a backpack, and immerse himself in Asian culture, which he had studied in college. A little serendipity led to some modeling gigs in Japan, which he then parlayed into travels and work in Europe. He met his then wife in Italy, and they launched a fashion line called Billy Ballo. After selling the business, Billy launched a magazine called Buying, Selling & Owning YOUR HOME. Billy embarked on a career in advertising, first working for global agency WB Doner as Sr VP, Business Development. The agency offered him an opportunity to move to Orange County to oversee and help grow the business. In 2003 he launched kayaks into the ocean with the birth of La Vida Laguna. Over the course of nearly 20 years his eco-friendly business has flourished and grown to now offer stand-up paddling, surfing, hiking, electric bike tours, and a number of corporate teambuilding activities. He has become a thought leader and speaker on corporate culture building through team play.

February 17, 2022, 7:30AM

After six years of managing various local coffee shops, Steve and Embry Munsey had friends and family encouraging them to start a coffeehouse. Because of their love for community and grand adventures, the idea took well—and it took quick! In late 2010 they started dreaming up and working on plans to open a Laguna Beach Coffee Shop in 2011.

Life, with its detours and curveballs, including the sudden loss of their son Jedidiah at birth led them to putting the dream on hold. They found themselves back in Embry’s hometown of Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas five years later in 2016, and ended up launching their Mobile Coffee Bar Experience, “Jedidiah Coffee”. They were a part of many special events, exploring North Texas with their three kids in tow, but SoCal never stopped being home. In 2019 they settled back in Laguna Beach to continue the grand coffee adventure. . They love how coffee cultivates community; one of the many reasons why that they added “coffee roasters” to their resume in 2019. At the heart of Jedidiah Coffee (and the Munsey Family), they see a community gathering around a great cup of coffee.

Jacob Cho has been actively teaching martial arts in Laguna Beach since 2008.  He started with an after-school program at Anneliese’s private schools then opened Cho’s Academy in September of 2009 with Dana Sara, both lifelong practitioners of the martial arts. Cho’s Academy is currently owned and operated full-time by Jacob.

He has a lifetime of experience coming from a family of martial arts experts.  More specifically, his father, a first-generation Korean-American immigrant is a Tae Kwon Do master and pioneer who began grooming Jacob at a very young age.

Jacob knew he wanted to teach full-time, but never imagined how challenging, rewarding and life-changing it would be.  Although his academy offers classes for all ages, he is most proud of the many opportunities he’s had to have a positive impact working with local kids.  His youth programs emphasize and cultivate discipline, work ethic, self-respect through commitment, effort and resulting accomplishments, respect and caring for others, patience, self-control, fitness, self-defense and much more.  Cho says, “The values and life-skills that traditional martial arts offer are timeless."

Community and Corporate partners

We are proud to announce that a new collaboration has been created between the Laguna Beach Business Club and Laguna Beach Seniors. Entitled “Community and Corporate Partners”, the collaboration provides a community of local businesses committed to supporting the aging population by incorporating the skilled volunteers and resources of the Business Club Members into activities of the Susi Q.

 

For the benefit the constituents of the Susi Q, the Business Club members are committed to providing service and support to the senior community throughout the year by:

 

• Having access to expert advice when needed

• Creating opportunity for local corporate employees to volunteer with LBS

• Sponsor programs offered by LBS with name recognition and visibility

• Incorporate annual opportunities for days of service

• Establishing a lasting partnership with our friends.

• Business Club members commit to providing service support to the senior community during the year.

 

 

“We are delighted to join with the members of the Laguna Beach Business Club who are offering to share their professional expertise and experience to help the Susi Q serve the community more successfully.”

 

                                                                                                                                                                    Cody Engle, Susi Q President
