​Live Advice from Legendary Founders

​Welcome to the first LIVE podcast experience built for founders who want more than surface-level success.

​This isn’t another room full of pitch decks and highlight reels. This is where real stories meet real-time coaching — powered by the live energy of an audience that knows the journey is anything but linear.

​Join Jeffrey Chernick, Alix Gitter, and founders behind over $200B in exits and IPOs as they go beyond the wins to unpack the emotional truth of entrepreneurship: the doubt, the breakthroughs, the mindset shifts that separate hustle from founder flow.

​You’ll hear unfiltered insights, strategic advice you won’t find in blogs, and raw conversations that reveal how top founders actually think and operate when it matters most.

​If you’re tired of polished narratives and hungry for human stories, this is your room.

​Come for the wisdom. Stay for the connection. Leave in flow. 🚀

​🥤 Snacks & Drinks
We’ll have complimentary snacks and drinks available at the event — first come, first served, so arrive early!

​🚗 Parking
Plenty of street parking is available near and around the venue for your convenience.
