Coffee & Books: February 2026

Join us for a truly special and unique gathering of our ‘Un’ Book Club, where meaningful conversation takes center stage. This session will be led by Shannon Jones, General Manager of YMCA of the Rockies, whose leadership journey powerfully embodies the principles of Red Shoes Living. His perspective and real-world experience will set this discussion apart and offer valuable insight for our local business community.

The ‘Un’ Book Club meets quarterly and is designed to bring business owners together to explore pivotal topics impacting Estes Valley businesses. The goal is to learn from one another’s experiences, openly share challenges and successes, and support each other in growing stronger, more resilient businesses faster.

For Quarter 1, our reading selection is Red Shoes Living by Lonnie Mayne. This winter, we are diving into the core ideas of the book and how they translate into leadership, culture, and accountability in real-life organizations. Do not worry if you have not read the book. A summary will be provided, and the conversation focuses more on the themes and takeaways than the pages themselves. That is what makes it an ‘Un’ Book Club.

Come ready to connect, reflect, and engage in thoughtful discussion guided by a leader who brings the principles of Red Shoes Living to life every day.
