Manifesto

At The Owners Society, ownership is a mindset.

Whether you are an executive or a founder, you cannot wait for someone to give you a seat at the table.

You have to step into ownership and take a seat at the top.

The Community

Not a mastermind.
Not a networking group.
Something more.

The Owners Society is a curated community and event platform built around one idea: the people who shape markets are the ones who are known before the conversation begins.

We convene executives, founders, and business owners in rooms designed for real conversation. No pitching. No performance. Just the kind of thinking that changes how you operate — and who you become inside a room.

Every event is intentionally small. Every seat is earned.

May 20 — AI Business Salon, Redondo Beach
Get in the Room

Three ways to be in the room.

The Salon

The Salon

An intimate curated gathering for 20 business owners and operators. A salon is not a seminar. Not a workshop. The people in the room are as valuable as the framework on the table. Your questions shape the direction. You leave having thought in ways you could not have alone.

About Rhiannon

23 years inside the rooms where
market position gets decided.

Rhiannon Franz spent over two decades in corporate media and digital strategy — working on Chrysler during federal bankruptcy, Warner Bros, J&J, Lexus, and brands that define markets. She watched how rooms shaped outcomes, how visibility preceded authority, and how the people who win in business are almost never the most talented in the room — they are the most known.

She founded The Owners Society to build the rooms she always wanted access to — where executives and founders think together, rise together, and build the kind of recognition that compounds. No agenda but elevation.
