  • Describe How You Would Like To Be Introduced Via Email
    Hi [Name] – I’d like to introduce you to David Meek. He’s the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the 3rd Circle Professionals Club, a fast-growing Louisville-based organization that blends professional networking with genuine relationship-building.

    David’s background includes years of experience in mortgage lending and local business development, and he’s passionate about creating spaces where like-minded professionals can connect, collaborate, and grow—without the awkward sales pressure you find in most networking groups.

    If you value transparency, authenticity, and excellence in your professional relationships, I think you’ll really enjoy connecting with David. He’s one of the good ones.
  • What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
    I believe meaningful relationships are the foundation of both personal and professional success. I’ve spent my career in roles that involve advising, connecting, and supporting people—and over time, I’ve realized that the real magic happens when you bring the right people together in the right environment.

    That’s why I co-founded the 3rd Circle Professionals Club: to create a space where professionals can build authentic friendships first—because strong relationships naturally lead to better referrals, better collaboration, and a more fulfilling career.

    My “why” is simple: I want to help good people do great things, together.
  • Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
    1. “Outside of work and family, who’s your circle?”
    → This gets to the heart of belonging, connection, and community—what 3rd Circle is really about.

    2. “Are you surrounded by people who challenge you to grow—and also genuinely enjoy your company?”
    → Sets up 3rd Circle as a space where personal and professional growth go hand in hand with real friendships.

    3. “Would having a trusted circle of local professionals—and more visibility with new movers—help you feel more rooted and top-of-mind in the community?”
    → Bridges the relational value of 3rd Circle with the marketing visibility of BeLocal, without making either feel salesy.
  • Unique Selling Proposition
    The 3rd Circle Professionals Club is not a typical networking group—it’s a curated community where professionals build real friendships first, and high-quality referrals follow naturally. We blend the best parts of a social club, a chamber of commerce, and a referral group to create an environment that’s genuinely enjoyable, relationship-driven, and committed to excellence.
  • About me
    I’m an entrepreneur and community-builder at heart who believes meaningful friendships lead to better business—and a better life. I co-founded the 3rd Circle Professionals Club here in Louisville to create an environment where professionals can connect genuinely, grow authentically, and have a great time doing it.

    I’ve spent over 10 years in the mortgage industry and 20+ years in the small business world, but my real passion is helping good people find each other and collaborate in ways that are both personally fulfilling and professionally valuable. Whether it’s a workshop, a lunch meetup, or a social event, 3rd Circle is where real relationships begin and flourish.

    When I’m not building professional social circles, I’m working on BeLocal Louisville—a newcomer welcome guide that connects new families with trusted local businesses right when they need them most. I also manage some commercial office space and, just for fun, drive limousines and party buses on the weekends.

    My wife Michelle and I have been married since October 2016, and we’re hoping to start a family soon!
  • Profession

    Executive Director
  • Hobbies and interest
    Outside of work, I love spending quality time with my wife, Michelle—whether that’s trying new restaurants, playing card or board games, watching movies, or just enjoying a good conversation. I’m a big fan of hosting events, and exploring creative ways to bring people together.

    For fun (and a little extra adventure), I drive limousines and party buses most weekends. It’s a blast and gives me another way to connect with people and be part of their celebrations.

    I’m also a bit of a personal development nerd—I enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, and brainstorming new ways to build community, improve systems, and support the people around me.
