Design Your Best Year: A 2026 Strategy Workshop for Founders

If you’re like most founders, you’re ending the year juggling targets, fires, family, expectations—and the pressure to somehow “do better” next year. The goals start swirling, the stress creeps in, and it’s tempting to just tell yourself you’ll grind harder.

But more effort isn’t the answer.
A better operating system is.

This half-day workshop is your reset point—timed intentionally for early January—so you walk into 2026 with clarity, alignment, and an actionable plan that dramatically increases the probability of getting what you want. Not through more hustle, but through a more effective way of operating.

If you're ready to build the year ahead with more ease, more fun, and more freedom, this is for you.

Mark Rampolla is a founder, investor, and advisor who built ZICO Coconut Water, sold it to Coca-Cola for $200M, and then launched GroundForce Capital, now a $500M investment firm.

After selling ZICO, Mark realized he’d been chasing a myth. The success he fought for didn’t free him—it trapped him in a different cage. That realization forced him to rebuild his inner operating system from the inside out.

Over the next seven years, Mark transformed how he led, decided, and showed up. On the other side of that shift, he launched GroundForce, bought ZICO back, and began building again—but this time from clarity, alignment, and true freedom.

Today, he brings founders along with him, teaching the practical tools he uses daily to operate with more ease, presence, and effectiveness under real pressure and real stakes.

Featuring Mark’s 4-Step Freedom Key Technique
Identify and dissolve the beliefs, loops, and friction patterns that hold you back. You’ll learn a practical method to lead with more clarity, stability, and momentum in 2026.

Reconnect to what actually matters. Redefine the values, identity, and decision-making principles that guide how you show up and allocate energy.

Build a tight, clear, actionable plan for the year—prioritized goals, key initiatives, and supportive rhythms—so you stop repeating old patterns and dramatically increase the odds of success.

A curated room where high-achievers can drop the armor, be real, and receive honest support from peers who “get it.”

Begin the day with grounding breathwork led by Joshua Church—Wim Hof Method Instructor, Forbes 30 Under 30 founder, and leadership coach. Walk away with practical tools to stay calm, focused, and energized throughout 2026.
