12 people feels quite a crowd. From my experience talks in crowds of that size stay typically very shallow. Any ideas on how to keep that more focused?
well, 12 is the absolute maximum, i personally prefer a number close to 10. something which has worked quite well so far is a short introduction of yourself and the idea behind the dinner when everybody has arrived. then hand out some notes with the three rules on it. lead by example ;)
We do a dinner like this but everyone pays their own tab. We self-curate a small group of founders and everyone goes around sharing an issue they are working on. Incredibly useful for getting outside views on stuff.

Not to mention, I'm suspicious when strangers offer to buy me dinner. Even if it's a "friend of a friend."
Last critique--Networking is great, but it's easy to confuse BSing over pizza with building your network.
Two questions, from a much larger universe, put for discussion at the Junto's weekly meetings:
In what manner can the Junto, or any of them, assist you in any of your honourable designs?
Have you any weighty affair in hand, in which you think the advice of the Junto may be of service?
