The Upstream Problem - 5 to 9 Society Dinner in NYC

​Every leader in this room has built something by relentlessly optimizing. Revenue, team, time, even sleep and workouts.

​This dinner asks the question none of us ask out loud: what if the same instinct that built the business is quietly destroying the person who built it. When does hitting the next peak stop being progress and start being avoidance.

​Florence Shaffer spent two decades optimizing at the executive level before a major health diagnosis forced her to rebuild from the root cause instead of the symptom. She'll bring that lens to a single conversation about where the line is, and what's actually on the other side of it.

​This dinner is for founders/CEOs and executive leaders.

​5 to 9 Society is a private membership community for Founders and Operating Leaders from high-growth companies. We meet quarterly for intimate, curated dinners amongst peer leaders in confidential salons.
