About this Event

Most founder events help you grow your company. This one helps you sustain the person running it.

The Midwest Founders Retreat is a small, intentionally designed 1.5-day experience for founders to step out of operator mode and invest in themselves — their health, relationships, mindset, and long-term capacity to lead.

There are no pitch decks, growth frameworks, or fundraising panels.

Instead, we focus on the parts of founder life that quietly determine everything else: energy, clarity, purpose, connection, and recovery.

And yes — it is wildly energizing to be in a room full of people who think like you.

There is something electric about being surrounded by founders who are disrupting their own corners of the world. The conversations go deeper. The humor hits differently. The ambition is understood. You’ll leave not just rested, but inspired by the caliber of humans building alongside you.

Inspired by longevity research and the Blue Zones approach to well-being, the retreat explores how high-performers stay healthy while building demanding companies.



What We’ll Explore
  • Staying connected to your partner and family while carrying a business
  • Managing energy instead of just managing time
  • Biohacking and sleep for sharper decision-making
  • Stress recovery and avoiding founder burnout
  • Purpose and identity as your company grows
  • Building meaningful friendships and community with other founders



Experiences Include
  • Guided reflection and small-group conversations
  • Natural movement and outdoor walking sessions
  • Practical health and performance workshops
  • Communal meals designed around longevity principles
  • Structured connection time without awkward networking


You won’t leave with a playbook for your business.

You’ll leave clearer, steadier, and reminded how much fun it actually is to build bold things alongside other people doing the same.

Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience personal.


Price: $200 - This is all-inclusive of meals & accommodations.
