Dear Hive,

One of our favorite parts of putting together the Hive each week is discovering the little things that make Miami feel special, a new spot worth trying, a community moment worth celebrating, or something unexpected that simply makes life more fun. This week’s edition is filled with those kinds of finds. Pour yourself a coffee (or something bubbly), settle in, and see what’s creating a buzz around town.

LEADING WITH PURPOSE

Miami author, entrepreneur, and senior leader Aaron Patience is bringing a grounded, real-world perspective to leadership with his latest book, Leadership Bearing, the second release in his Pursuit of Leadership series. With more than 30 years of experience in banking, business, and team leadership, Aaron focuses less on theory and more on how leaders show up in the moments that matter most. Based in Miami, he balances professional leadership with family, entrepreneurship, and community involvement, including serving on the Board of Directors for Camillus House. Leadership Bearing explores trust, humility, accountability, and the lasting impression great leaders leave behind. Learn more about Aaron, booking him to speak to your organization, or purchasing a copy of the book at Aaron Patience official website.

HANGING WITH THE HIVE: SOCIAL HOUR

Hanging with the Hive is a small-group networking event, and this time our theme is social media. Think happy hour energy, not a workshop or a class. For $20, enjoy a glass of prosecco, practical social media tips you can use for fun or for your business, a printed takeaway, a chance to be featured in a Hive reel, and time to mingle with the Hive community. It’s not a sit-down or a lecture, just an informal setting to create fun social content together and connect. You’ll also get the chance to ask questions on reel creation and more. Spots are intentionally limited to keep the group small. Click HERE to secure your spot.

BUCCAN SANDWICH SHOP COMES TO CORAL GABLES

The Palm Beach cult favorite has officially arrived at 100 Miracle Mile — no road trip required. Buccan Sandwich Shop opened a few days ago, bringing its legendary gourmet sandwiches and fresh salads south. If you loved the Palm Beach location, you’re going to be obsessed. Don’t miss the Steak Bomb, the Cubano 2.0, or the beef carpaccio baguette. Open daily 11 a.m.–3:30 p.m., takeout only. For the best experience, order online and pick up. The full sit-down Buccan restaurant opens May 22, even more reason to get excited.

A REMARKABLY BRIGHT WATCH

Looking for your next Netflix movie night? The new adaptation of Remarkably Bright Creatures starring Sally Field is officially streaming. The film brings to life the beloved story that inspired one of our earliest 305 Hive® Book Club gatherings at Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, where we even helped name Frost Science’s octopus Marcellus after the character in the book. If you loved the novel, add this heartwarming adaptation to your watch list, then make a Miami day of it with a visit to Frost Science to say hello to these remarkably bright creatures yourself.
