- Serving North Carolina
- connect@nextlvlnetworks.com
Next Level Networks is built on a set of core beliefs that guide how we show up, how we lead, and how our community operates.
These beliefs shape our culture more than any rules ever could.
These aren’t just words on a wall. They are how we show up.
For ourselves, for each other, and for everyone we are fortunate enough to have in our community.
Our vision is simple. Build local business communities that feel personal, grounded, and human no matter how big we get.
Strong local chapters connected by shared values create opportunities that go far beyond any single meeting. When people genuinely know and trust each other across a growing network, something real starts to happen.
As we grow our focus stays the same. Protect the culture, support our members, and build something worth being part of for the long term.
NXL is building across North Carolina with multiple chapters already active and more on the way.
Growth for us is not about scale for the sake of it. It is about finding the right people in the right places who believe in building something real. We take our time, invest in leadership, and prioritize fit over speed.
If there is not a chapter near you yet and you are interested in helping bring NXL to your area, we would love to start that conversation.
NXL was built by people who showed up to the wrong rooms long enough to decide it was time to build the right one.
Stephen Bass sees the world in frameworks and has spent his career figuring out how to grow with people, not just ahead of them.
He c0-founded Next Level Networks because he believed business owners deserved a better room. One built on real relationships, intentional connection, and practical growth.
Stephen also works with business owners as an employee benefits advisor and facilitates workshops designed to help professionals get clearer and more confident in how they show up and grow.
Jakob Holt is the kind of person who makes things actually happen.
He is the strategist and operator behind the scenes, helping launch new chapters, equip leaders, and guide how NXL grows. He cares deeply about doing it right, not just doing it fast.
Jakob's passion is helping people rise to their potential. That shows up in how he builds, how he leads, and how he shows up for the community every day.
The best way to understand NXL is to be in the room. Visit a chapter, meet the people, and decide if this community is right for you.
