Expected Outcomes:

Clearer understanding of the business’s growth drivers: Participants gain a deeper insight into how their business creates momentum.
Formalized Flywheel Diagram: The workshop will lead to a diagram representing the business’s unique Flywheel, visually illustrating the virtuous cycle.
Improved Strategic Focus: By understanding the Flywheel, businesses can better align their efforts and investments for maximum impact.

You won’t know what you’re made of… until the darkness tests you.

What happens when you’re leading in the dark?
In business and in life, the real test comes when visibility fades, fatigue sets in, and the pressure is on. The Navy SEALs from Orbital Experiences are back to guide us through the next-level challenge: Edge of Darkness – Where Grit Meets Growth.
This electrifying outdoor crucible will push your mental and physical limits. Through functional workouts, stealth-based team challenges, and nighttime movement drills inspired by military special operations, you’ll sharpen your decision-making, strengthen your leadership under stress, and forge powerful connections with your fellow entrepreneurs.

Last time, they pushed us to our limits.
This time, they’re taking us even further.
Will you step into the night?

This is a rare opportunity to experience yourself in the moment—under pressure, fully present, and deeply aware. As entrepreneurs, we live in crisis mode, but we rarely get the chance to observe ourselves from the outside in.
This is that moment.
A uniquely curated experience, built for what we EOers signed up for in the first place. So get your damn money’s worth. Show up, lean in, and do what you came here to do.
