SUMMARY:Edge of Darkness: Where Grit Meets Growth
DESCRIPTION:You won’t know what you’re made of… until the darkness tests you.\n\n\nWhat happens when you’re leading in the dark? \nIn 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. \nThis 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. \n \nLast time\, they pushed us to our limits. \nThis time\, they’re taking us even further. \nWill you step into the night? \n \nThis 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. \nThis is that moment. \nA 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. \n \n📍 This event takes place outside\, in the dark\, on the beach.  \n \n🔥 Open to all levels. \n \nRSVP By: 9/25/25 \nAttendees: EO Members\, SAPs & Regional EO Members
