Traveling home from a fantastic week at Founder Summit Big thank you to hosts Calm Company Fund 🦭 for making it so family friendly. While my wife Alexis Grant did the conference, I got to hang out with our boys, climbing, hiking, making friends, doing art, all in a stunning location!

Got a demo from edmund at Founder Summit and 🤯

Going to a conference is typically all about sitting in a chair and listening to some speaker on stage, while Founder Summit is all about the amazing relationships you build with the amazing curated #entrepreneurs that the Calm Company Fund 🦭 team puts together. #nosmalltalk

Founders’ kids becoming friends with other founders’ kids is a joy I somehow didn’t anticipate from Founder Summit Camp 🥹

Thoroughly enjoyed co-regulating with the Founder Summit folks and exploring what it *actually* means to cultivate calm.

Said goodbye to the Calm Company Fund 🦭 team today after a week together producing Founder Summit. Worked with these folks for a year before meeting in person! My takeaway? It’s an incredible privilege to do work you enjoy with a team you love for people you’re thrilled to serve.

Thinking about how GOOD Founder Summit was last week: 🔥 People = generous, smart, low ego 🔥 Nature setting = calming 🔥 Kid-friendly = childcare + kid activities 🔥 Vibe = inspiring & affirming 📸 Michael Freas Photography & Ben Collins

Left Founder Summit with so many new ideas and a bunch of new friends. A really special few days in the woods! Grateful to the Calm Company Fund 🦭 team who are amazing and sparked SO much joy and connection. ❤️

Chatting to a friend about Founder Summit and she says: Wait, so you went to a work conference and it inspired you to work LESS? 🙌

Just signed up✌️ Got a taste of Jonny Miller's approach to teaching about the nervous system at Founder Summit. Been percolating on the interplay of pandemic + trauma + neurodivergence + dysregulation, so I'm particularly excited to dive into NSM!

Got new headshots, thanks Founder Summit

the crew of people assembled at the founder summit brought a ton of happiness, experience and openness to the table, so big thanks for that
