🤫The secret is out.
This week I hosted 17 friends in Boulder for a different type of gathering.
It was the first step toward a larger vision—perfectly aligned with my personal mission.
Here’s how it went down (with lots of pics)🧵
Now more than ever people want more than just a great career—they want a great LIFE, full of:
—Adventure
—Deep connection
—Learning & growth
To build a great life you have to be INTENTIONAL. With that in mind, an idea was hatched…
A two-day gathering based on a very simple premise:
👉Get cool people together, do cool sh!t, and let the magic happen.
Minimal agenda, no goals, no pressure.
To test the idea, I needed some guinea pigs—people gullible enough to say yes to a hair-brained adventure.
Guests were greeted with what I like to think is The Best Swag Package Ever—gear that I use every day:
—Topo Athletic MTN Racer 3 shoes
—Matching Swiftwick socks
—Custom-made Jagged Edge day pack
—@camp4 branded tshirts (pink & black) and hat

Day 1: “Type 2 Fun”
In climbing there’s a fun scale with 3 types:
Type 1: All pleasure, no pain.
Type: 2: Pain, then pleasure—the most satisfying type of fun.
Type 3: All pain—avoid!
Since the event was in Boulder, the choice for our Type 2 fun activity was obvious…
Climbing one of the iconic flatirons above Boulder!
I hired 8 professional guides to take our motley crew up these 1000 foot rock faces. It’s not easy.
For many it was their first climb.
There was laughter, there were tears. I saw boys become men in those mountains. 🤣
NOTHING forges bonds like doing hard things—and even suffering a little—together.
The conversations and connections that happened on the rock—and after a few drinks at dinner—won’t soon be forgotten.
Day 2: Think Big
On the second day we absconded to a compound in the mountains.
No cell service.
Four people from our group led talks on:
—Cutting edge therapies for men’s health
—Building businesses through social media
—The current state of AI
—The pursuit of mastery
I’m biased since I curated the event, but this was probably the most thought-provoking and inspiring group discussion I’ve ever been part of.
So why am I telling you about this?
I’m telling you about this because I’m considering opening future events to others… including YOU.
I love curating experiences for others—it’s my super power—and I’m even more passionate about helping people build great lives. Events like this are a catalyst for that.
So…
