About this Event
I am excited to come together again! This year's theme is Emerge Forward. The summit is open to men and women who are in leadership or aspire to be in leadership.
When we see you, we see a leader. We see a leader at home, on the job, in an industry, or running your own business. We have crafted this year’s experience to empower and equip you to not only attain your goals but crush them!
This year you can choose to attend in-person or virtually. I am on a mission to make this year’s summit the best we’ve produced since our first one in 2014.
See what's in store!

VIP “The Pod” Social
OKAY!!!!!!!!!! It goes down here! This is where all the magic of collaboration and plain old letting loose will happen. I am bringing the team-building games back. They are always the talk of the event each year. This year, I put my thinking cap on. The activity is so lit, I’ve decided to keep it a secret.
PLUS I will be hosting a LIVE Podcast Talk! The SQUAD and I will talk authentically about what it takes to show up and emerge. I have invited my MOST memorable podcast guests to join me at the social.
