Is GoBrunch the next Blab?

The Big Happy Biscuit: Reviving the Spirit of Blab.im with GoBrunch There’s something magical about the energy of a late-night community hangout. For those of us who were part of Blab.im back in 2015-2016, you’ll remember how the platform came alive after dark. Conversations went from casual to deep, collaboration flourished, and friendships were forged across time zones. Blab was more than just a platform—it was a place where people gathered to talk about everything from tech and business to life and culture, often pulling all-nighters without even realizing it. As Blab veterans (*Blab OGs*, if you will), many of us have been searching for something that recaptures that sense of community. Now, I’m excited to share that GoBrunch is that platform, and it brings with it a space that feels like home—the all-night diner we call The Big Happy Biscuit. GoBrunch: A New Platform with a Familiar Vibe GoBrunch offers something special, blending ease of use with the freedom to create open, engaging rooms for learning, collaboration, or just hanging out. What’s especially unique about GoBrunch is its emphasis on interaction. Whether you’re leading a session or simply attending, everyone feels connected—just like in the good ol’ days of Blab. It’s the kind of platform where those spontaneous, unplanned conversations can happen—the ones that start off as simple check-ins and turn into hours-long discussions that leave you inspired, energized, and thinking differently. That spirit is alive again, and it's housed in our new virtual spot: The Big Happy Biscuit. The Big Happy Biscuit: Our 24/7 Hangout Just like the iconic all-nighters we used to pull on Blab, The Big Happy Biscuit is the place for GoBrunchers to meet, chat, and connect at any hour of the day or night. The diner is always open, offering a welcoming space for casual hangouts, brainstorming sessions, or deep dives into the issues that matter most to us. There’s no set agenda—drop in whenever, and you’ll find friendly faces ready to share ideas, stories, and laughter. Just like the best late-night spots, the conversation here is fluid, jumping from topic to topic in an atmosphere that’s laid-back and authentic. Why the All-Nighter Spirit Still Matters In today’s fast-paced, hyper-scheduled world, it’s easy to forget how much value there is in unstructured time spent in a community. Blab.im taught us that some of the best connections happen when you let your guard down, when the pressure to be perfect fades away, and the conversation just flows naturally. The Big Happy Biscuit recaptures that spirit for a new era. It’s a reminder that community is about more than scheduled meetings or set agendas—it’s about showing up, being present, and allowing space for real connection to happen. Looking Back, Moving Forward For the Blab OGs who still remember those magical nights, GoBrunch and The Big Happy Biscuit offer a second chance to relive those experiences, with new faces and new conversations. And for those who never experienced Blab.im, it’s an opportunity to discover the magic of a community that’s not just about networking, but about truly connecting with people. So whether you’re a night owl, a community builder, or just someone looking for a place to belong, come join us at The Big Happy Biscuit. The coffee’s hot (virtually, of course), the conversation’s warm, and the community is always here to welcome you in.

"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future." John F. Kennedy knew what he was saying when he described our need to envision the memory of our future because if we stay in our past or just live in the present we will never create our ideal future. My name is Stacy Braiuca, the Change Navigator™ Squirrel Wrangler™, & Technology Therapist™. Ambitious, dedicated leaders hire me to guide them to create connections, congruencies, and change to envision their future memories because most are disconnected, inauthentic, and terrified of change. So I bring 30 years of experience in change, a full atlas of tools, and a herd of squirrels to guide them to maximize Connections, become Congruent, and enjoy Change. Bottom line... if you don't remember your tomorrow, you will not have the right formula and miss out on your today. Let's find your formula https://stacybraiuca.com/connect Stacy Braiuca, MSW, MPH, LCSW, LSCSW, Certified Master Practitioner of NLP, MER®, and Hypnosis (Change Navigator™Squirrel Wrangler™, & Technology Therapist™) is the sole proprietor for Braiuca Enterprises, LLC. With a 25+ year career as a therapist, public health educator, and geek fanatic, I know that humans want to change, but don’t know how or don’t want to do the work to change. But, change is one of the few “constants” in life and is also vital TO life. I have spent my career guiding others through the change process, from anxiety about technology to intricate life situations, to grow beyond their wildest expectations. I am now on a mission to spread both the tenacity to grow through change and to have more work/life balance in this world, so we can all focus on our human relationships.
