@ Most entrepreneurs don’t fail because they lack passion. They fail because they build something customers don’t actually want. In this interactive workshop, UCLA alumna and Business Strategist Sami Toussi ’11 will introduce the Lean Canvas framework and walk through the key questions every founder should answer to build a stronger business. You’ll learn how to identify your ideal customer, uncover unmet needs, evaluate growth opportunities, and strengthen your business model. Through guided exercises and real-world examples, you’ll begin applying these concepts to your own business during the session. Whether you’re exploring a side hustle, consulting practice, freelance business, startup, or new business idea, you’ll leave with greater clarity, practical tools, and actionable next steps. You’ll learn how to: • Define your ideal customer • Understand customer pain points and unmet needs • Clarify what makes your solution different • Evaluate your business idea and business model using the Lean Canvas framework • Identify opportunities to turn your skills, expertise, and ideas into income • Use AI as a tool while avoiding common founder blind spots **About the Speaker** Sami Toussi ’11, Board Certified Coach (BCC), is a career strategist and owner of Toussi International, a consultancy that helps individuals tap into their purpose to benefit the world. Toussi’s business encompasses more than 10 years of business and psychology experience, where she earned over six figures by her mid-twenties leading an international sales team. Despite Toussi’s early success her experience caused her to question the fullness and purpose of her life. Seeking answers, Toussi further delved into the coaching world and gained board certification in 2016. Toussi then founded Toussi International, a global consulting practice with clients ranging from business owners to professionals to multinational corporations. To date, Toussi has run over 70 workshops on topics such as career building, leadership, time management and work-life balance. She’s also coached more than 300 clients worldwide with specific measurable results, including some of the following: increasing monthly business revenue by 400%, promotions from manager to director, negotiating salary increase by 30%, enhancing employee engagement by 95%, and helping clients increase confidence and improve presentation skills. **LinkedIn and Website**: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samitoussi/ | https://www.samitoussi.com/ Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

Place Is the Space is a four-hour immersive performance experience combining live jazz improvisation, theatrical storytelling and multimedia design inspired by Sun Ra’s philosophy and his film Space Is the Place. The work functions as both a concert and an experiential ritual where musicians, performers, visual elements and audience members collectively shape the space into a place. Metaphorically building the vehicle that Sun Ra aspired towards, expressing Afrofuturistic themes of transcendence, liberation and joy. This cosmic jam session culminates in the audience crowning a ""New Sun Ra,"" who leads the full audience on a pilgrimage to the Hammer Museum for one final performance, where everyone is invited to play along. Presented in conjunction with the Hammer Museum’s current exhibition SPACE IS THE PLACE, which frames “space” as a conceptual framework inspired by the works and views of experimental jazz artist Sun Ra.

@ Join BP Century City Chapter for their monthly meeting! Meet our speaker: Wayne Nitti is a diehard Bruin. Following in the footsteps of his four older siblings, Wayne graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Economics-Business from UCLA in 1991. During his time as a Bruin, Wayne was also a two-sport Varsity athlete in track and cross-country. He continued his studies at Harvard Law School, graduating with honors in 1994 and returning to Los Angeles to start his legal career as a litigation associate at Latham & Watkins. In 2000, Wayne left the full-time practice of law to begin his MBA studies at the Wharton School, graduating with distinction in the areas of Finance and Entrepreneurial Management. Determined to start his own venture, Wayne returned to Southern California in 2002 and began researching businesses across various industries. Believing there was a significant opportunity in litigation software, Wayne hired a developer and created Case Anywhere, an online platform connecting judges, lawyers, and professional staff in complex litigation matters. The self-financed Company later expanded into arbitrations and administrative matters and became recognized as a technology leader in the dispute resolution space. The platform has hosted many of the largest cases in the State of California, including the Woolsey Fire cases, the Social Addiction cases, and the sexual abuse cases against the clergy, among thousands of other matters. In November 2024, after a competitive bidding process, Wayne sold the business to a strategic acquirer and continued to run the Company as its CEO for another year. He currently serves as a consultant to Case Anywhere as he evaluates other opportunities. Wayne is married to Lisa, a former partner at Greenberg Traurig who has her own entertainment law practice, and has two teenage children, Emily and Blake. He drags all of them to the Rose Bowl and Pauley Pavilion as season ticket holders. Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

@ More Than a Trophy – A Lasting Legacy Join Bruin Affiliates for our September luncheon as Cori Close shares her experience coaching a winning team and her approach to carrying it forward. Cori coached the UCLA women’s basketball team to its first- ever NCAA championship last season, and shares the credit with her outstanding woman’s team that exemplified resilience, toughness and a strong bond that held them together during the remarkable season. Mentored by the legendary John Wooden, she has instilled values that brought the team to national recognition. “It’s not about any one of us — it’s about what we build together.” Close has built an extraordinary legacy at UCLA since taking over as head coach in 2011, compiling a 321-143 record and becoming the program’s all-time winningest coach. Her crowning achievement came in 2026 when she led the Bruins to their first-ever women’s basketball national championship, going 37-1 and routing South Carolina 79-51 in the title game, capping back-to-back Big Ten Tournament titles in 2025 and 2026. Along the way she swept all four major national Coach of the Year awards in 2024-25, developed seven WNBA draft picks, and received the 2024 WBCA Carol Eckman Integrity in Coaching Award — earning a contract extension through the 2029-30 season in recognition of her sustained excellence both on and off the court. $45 members only (active annual dues paid), $50 per person ### [Town & Gown Affiliates of UCLA](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/town-gown-affiliates-of-ucla/) [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/network/the-town-gown-affiliates-of-ucla/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

@ Many professionals with ADHD feel like they’re not living up to their potential at work, but aren’t always sure why. Challenges with focus, follow-through, communication and managing competing demands can impact performance, even when ability is not the issue.  This session offers a practical approach to understanding and navigating ADHD in the workplace. Participants will learn how these patterns show up day to day, how they affect productivity and collaboration, and what to do about them. It will delve into strategies for managing focus and follow-through, as well as identifying or adapting to work environments that better support how you function.  Rather than relying on generic productivity advice, this workshop will examine tools that reflect how ADHD operates in professional settings. Participants will leave with the ability to recognize how ADHD impacts their work and strategies to work with it more effectively. Whether you are formally diagnosed with ADHD, pursuing an ADHD diagnosis, supporting a loved one or colleague with ADHD, or are simply interested in learning more about this topic, this session is open to everyone. ### [UCLA Alumni Affairs](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/ucla-alumni-affairs/) [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

Under his leadership, the company became a model of sustainability.  He currently serves at the Treasurer for The California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy. Beyond business, Mr. Luskin is celebrated for his philanthropy at UCLA. In 2011, he and his wife Renee donated $100 million to establish the Meyer and Renee Luskin School of Public Affairs, of which he serves as a Director, and the Luskin Conference Center. They have also supported initiatives in history, public policy and urban innovation. He was formerly chairman of the board of the Santa Monica – UCLA Medical Center and Orthopedic Hospital, Chairman of the Board of the Orthopedic Institute for Children (previously known as the Los Angeles Orthopedic Hospital, which is now the Luskin Orthopedic Institute for Children), a Director of the UCLA Foundation, and a Director of the Alliance for College-Ready Public Schools. Mr. Luskin is also the Founder of the Goodman/Luskin Center for Microbiome Research at UCLA.  Mr. Luskin also serves as a Director of OSI Systems, Inc., a vertically integrated designer and manufacturer of specialized electronic systems and components for critical applications in homeland security, healthcare, defense and aerospace. Mr. Luskin holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, and an MBA from Stanford University.   **Doug Pak** is the Founder, Owner, and Chief Executive Officer of BLD Ventures, a family-owned holding company with investments across restaurants, franchise operations, real estate, entertainment, and technology. Founded in 2005 with no outside capital, BLD Ventures began as a food and beverage startup and grew under Doug’s leadership from zero to more than $200 million in annual revenue and over 5,000 employees within eight years. That growth earned him the Franchise Times MVP Award for Mega Growth Leadership. Throughout his career, Doug has built, acquired, operated, and invested in businesses ranging from emerging ventures to established global restaurant brands – Papa John’s, Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s, Spaghetti Warehouse, Stir Crazy, and Flat Top Grill. He recently launched his own brand, Warehouse 72 Modern Restaurant & Bar and his latest venture is a new partnership with NFL star Maxx Crosby of the Las Vegas Raiders as well as investing in independent films.   Doug also brings deep experience in corporate finance, capital formation, joint ventures, and lower-middle-market mergers and acquisitions. He has directly led transactions ranging from $10 million to $100 million in value. Earlier in his career, he co-founded a technology company backed by angel investment and research and development funding from the National Research Council of Canada. A 1996 graduate of UCLA with a degree in Business and Economics, Doug has remained deeply connected to the university. He currently serves on two UCLA advisory boards and is a member of the UCLA Second Century Council. In 2022, he delivered the commencement address for the UCLA Department of Economics ([www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MG1uv4\_juw](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MG1uv4_juw)). That commitment to education and giving back is also reflected in the Pak Family Endowed Speaker Series at UCLA, scheduled to launch in 2027, as well as his broader support of educational institutions, charities, and nonprofit organizations. Before expanding his service at UCLA, Doug served on the Pepperdine University board for seven years. Doug is also a founding member of a Vistage CEO Advisory Chapter in Orange County and has served on the boards of several private companies and nonprofit organizations. Doug lives in Newport Beach, California, with his wife and two children. Outside of business and philanthropy, he enjoys golf, travel, professional football, and journaling. **Sponsorship opportunities available.** We hope you will consider supporting our event, our alumni networks, and our student scholars!

@ Change is the only constant in life, and every day we are called to reckon with this. Today it may be most apparent to you in national or global tumult, a career pivot you’re contemplating or relationship dynamics you’re struggling to tweak or adapt to. However it shows up, you can count on the rug continuing to shift beneath your feet. And your brain really doesn’t like that, at least by default. In its frenzy to find stability today, it will leap to ways of thinking and behaving that will leave you feeling even more stuck, stifled, and afraid tomorrow. Yet, if you are inclined toward personal growth, you can use the tidal forces of change to propel you to ever-greater wisdom, inner stability and even growth. In this session with Jim Hjort, an executive and career coach, personal development trainer and licensed psychotherapist, you’ll learn: • Why your inner critic and pessimist is actually a key part of your team • Why you may do all the “right” things, while feeling less and less satisfied with your life • How to look beneath the surface of your life story to identify what makes you feel truly alive—so you can have more of that • Communication skills to help you show up for yourself first, so you can show up whole and healthy for anyone else you want in your life • How to not just survive chaos and uncertainty, but embrace it as the essential journey of your life Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live
