Spring Summit 2027

Three days with the men you don't find anywhere else.

May 6–8, 2027Nashville, Tennessee

Three days at a resort outside Nashville. A hand-selected room of growth-minded men in their second to fourth season of life — having the conversations they don't have anywhere else. No keynote pageantry. No breakout track navigation.

Who this is forGrowth-minded men in their second to fourth season of life. CEOs, founders, senior operators, and the men coming up beside them.

What this is

A few of the things it is — and a few it isn't.

It is

  • Three days with about 50 hand-selected men
  • Small-group working sessions, not keynote audiences
  • Conversations you've been needing to have, with people who can hold them
  • Time built in for long walks and front-porch quiet

It isn't

  • Not a conference — no expo floor, no breakout track navigation
  • Not a networking event — no handshakes that go nowhere
  • Not a curriculum — no slides to march through
  • Not a retreat where you're alone with your thoughts

A few principles

How the room is built.

01

Small rooms by design.

Hand-sized at about 50 men — not 500. Most of the work happens in groups of four to six, where everyone has air time and the room gets close enough to actually help.

02

Working sessions, not keynote audiences.

No one's giving a TED Talk™. Beau and Michael open the conversation and step back. The room itself does most of the work.

03

Conversations, not transactions.

You leave with people you'll be talking to in six months — not a stack of business cards. We pick the room with that in mind.

04

Time for the long walks.

Sessions are short on purpose. The space between them — meals, walks, fire pit — is where most of the thinking actually happens.
