What Maverick Founders Say:What Maverick Founders Say:“Takes the cliché ‘Work Hard…Play Hard!’ to a whole new level… What we found here is a group of like-minded individuals. We’re not all in the same business; we’re not doing the same things and that’s part of the beauty of it.”

“This has been absolutely a top ten experience in my life. It’s been transformational and inspiring. I would be shocked if I didn’t generate at least a million dollars in the next 12 months from the ideas and tactics that I learned from other people.”

“I really didn’t expect to enjoy myself. I thought I might even end up flying home early…After having experienced it, I know that I’ll be back every time… from a business perspective; the meetings were phenomenal with great insight.”
