What Is This

Not a mixer.
Not a class.
Not a bar night.

Good Trouble is a structured social event for people who chase that alive feeling — into fitness and wellness — and want to bring it into their social life too. You want real connection but hate small talk. You don't have to wing it. We structure it all with games.

Walk in and you're in it from minute one — there's already an activity or game going. No standing in the corner. It's playful, a little daring — the kind of night you'll actually tell people about.

👋
Most people come alone.

That's not awkward here — it's the point. You'll be welcomed, introduced, and folded in from minute one.

How The Night Runs

Two hours. Zero filler.

👋
Minute 0 — Doors Open

Arrive. Get your name tag. Start.

Walk in, get a hug and a name tag. Write your name and answer an icebreaker — "Where's one place on your bucket list?" — so people have something real to ask you right away. There's already an activity going. You're never just standing there.

⭕
Minute 15 — The Circle

Everybody in. Quick intros.

The whole room gathers in a circle for quick intros — name, where you're from, one thing. Bigger groups split into circles of five or six. Within 15 minutes, you know people's names and the awkwardness is gone.

🔥
Minute 25 — Round One: Games

The games. In pairs. It gets loud.

Not icebreakers — games, drawn from improv, played in pairs. You play, switch partners, switch again. The whole room goes at once, so it gets loud — and that's the point. You're just connecting with the person in front of you.

🎵
Minute 50 — Open Mingling

Music up. Move around. Talk to people.

Music up, energy up. Not a quiet, polite event. Talk to the people you just played with, ask about their name tag, get someone's number. Round two in about 20 minutes.

🔄
Minute 70 — Round Two: More Games

Back together. Deeper this time.

Second round of games — same format, new games. By now the room has loosened up. People are laughing. The energy is different from when everyone walked in. This is when it gets really good.

🎤
Minute 100 — The Closing Circle

Closing ritual. In a circle. Together.

We close in a circle with one question — "What's one connection you made tonight?" Everyone shares, swaps contact info, and then: one song, lights down, the whole room together. Every time. You'll just have to be there.

After The Event

Attend once.
You're in for good.

After your first event, you get access to the Good Trouble WhatsApp community — a private group where members post hangouts, activities, and plans they want company for. The connections don't stop when the two hours are up.

Mike — founder of Good Trouble
The Person Behind It

Built by someone who studies connection — and can't stop building it.

Mike is a licensed couples and relationship therapist, former Division I athlete, filmmaker, and someone who's spent years building community across the US and Latin America.

He ran a version of this in Washington DC and Mexico City — events where people actually became friends through structure, games, and genuine intention. Now he's bringing it to Austin.

He built Good Trouble because belonging doesn't happen by accident. It takes someone willing to engineer it.
