Chas Smith
Chas has been with BBW since day one, and we have watched him go from nothing in 2013 to over $115 million debt free.
He has two companies that make the monies:
Paleovalley (A Paleo Beef Stick and Supplement Company) and Wild Pastures (A regenerative farmed meat delivery company). These two are vertically integrated, which is one of his strategies.
He also has a Boulder Burger Joint that uses the rest of the meat that he can’t sell.
Chas will be teaching us what it takes to scale at each phase up to and beyond 9-Figures.

“The two private masterminds I've been to have been the most focused, powerful and beneficial three-day events I've been to, ever.”

"Cloud Camp was one of my most transformative experiences within Baby Bathwater! The format worked well to have time to focus on an issue within my businesses as well as putting ideas into motion. Implementing just ONE of the ideas from Cloud Camp has been a game-changer this summer for how we operate. That alone paid for the cost of attending.
Cloud Camp turned out to be one of the better investments for myself and my businesses. And the post-event accountability WhatsApp group has been a huge bonus!"
“Hands down the best event of any kind that I’ve ever been to. The food, the people, the content…my head is about to explode with all the ideas I have. I’m a convert.”

How to Scale to Over $115 Million
At this September Mastermind, Chas is going to teach us how to scale at the different stages of company growth.
Content will include:
The three stages of growth: Early Stage, Scale Up Phase, and At Scale. These might differ based on your company, but for ecommerce Early Stage is up to around $5 million in revenue, Scale Up is up to around $40 million, and At Scale is about $40 million to $120 million.
So no matter where you are in your journey, Chas’ content will help you move to the next stage.
This includes:
Team:
You need the right team at the right time, and transitioning while maintaining growth is the trick
Tactics:
Different tactics work at different stages. For example, in the early stage you focus on the offer, lifetime value, just a few platforms, testing at low budgets, and easy relationships.
While, at the Scale Up phase, you focus on hyper-growth customer acquisition, expanding platforms, more time-intensive partnership and influencer programs, and conversion optimization at scale.
Vendors:
When to outsource and when to bring in-house. And more importantly, how to evaluate.
We’ll also break the group up into 4 person pods, where each person works with their peers on their biggest scaling issue.
At the end, we hold each attendee accountable for their first steps towards creating more time so they can scale their business.
And we have really GOOD TIMES along the way. Five star food and service, amazing hikes, pickleball, and of course the normal Baby Bathwater Hijinx.
People leave refreshed, with plans in place, and create some of the deepest connections with other entrepreneurs that you can imagine.
What Really Makes This Event Different?
The curation is real, the community is inviting, and the attention to detail is unmatched.
You’ve heard of our larger Flagship events like Mexico and Croatia… but these Masterminds are an entirely different beast.
Consider these the “Concentrated Form.”
You get all the energy, super human curation, and attention to detail concentrated into a small group where you get direct feedback on whatever is holding you back in business and in life.
Dedicated to growing your business, your wealth, and your health.
You will spend 4 days and 3 nights with an intimate, carefully curated group where you will get personalized attention and support from the group to address the challenges you are facing.
Day 1:
We’ll start off with a dinner of fresh, healthy eats followed by a hangout with the group. This will be a time to get to know everyone at a deeper level by learning about their biggest failures… and how they used these failures to grow their businesses and themselves.
Day 2:
In the morning Chas will lead a discussion with the intimate group on how to scale at the different stages of company growth.
In the afternoon, we will break into small, carefully curated groups (pods), where each person has the rest of the group focus on their biggest business challenge. This leads to some pretty profound breakthroughs, and deeper understandings of how to solve one’s problems.nYou will leave with to-dos and some accountability items.
In the evening we sit down for dinner and drinks, followed by GOOD TIMES.
Day 3:
In the morning Chas will lead a discussion with the intimate group on how to scale at the different stages of company growth.
In the afternoon, we will focus on accountability. Everyone will share what they plan on implementing from the experience, and we drill down to specific accountability items.
Then, we will break into pods to go over how to execute these items.
And in the evening, we will have some REAL GOOD TIMES!
Day 4:
A delicious breakfast spread, then it’s time to say our goodbyes and head home!
Leave this event armed with an arsenal of ideas and action steps proven to be effective in the real world.
Everyone here has something to teach & something to learn.
"Cloud Camp was amazing! I loved being a part of a smaller event. The group size was perfect to connect, give support, and get support. Just so many incredible takeaways... Also, I loved the format. The large groups are a lot of fun, but this was so great to strengthen relationships and make a few new ones!"
Host of Thrive by Designs Podcast
"I highly recommend the Cloud Camp experience! Smaller group, deep dives into your business/life, more 1-1 quality time, and great lodging with ideal room situations (it’s almost worth it just to see this place). The content was focused on the needs of the group and less varied than the larger events. It was evident that a lot of thought was put into matching people up and I really appreciated the direction and support I received."

"Great event! The location and accommodations were fantastic. The group size was perfect to get to know people with time to go deep. A great balance of content, sharing, and relaxation time. I learned a ton and was able to sharpen my focus on the work I need to do to get to the next level. Many thanks to the BBW team for putting this together!"
About The Venue
Situated over 3,000 ft above Colorado Springs is “Cloud Camp”, an all-inclusive hideaway atop the Rocky mountains, and one of Colorado’s premier destinations.
It’s elegant, it’s rustic, and at an altitude of 9,200 feet, it’s breathtaking!
Transportation to the Rocky Mountain retreat is an adventure in itself. Guests take a 35-minute shuttle through the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (yes, a zoo) and up the Cheyenne Mountain Highway to reach Cloud Camp.
Your mountain cabin lodging features spectacular views of Pikes Peak, the surrounding forest, Colorado’s Front Range and the plains to the east. You’ll truly feel as if you are sleeping in the clouds. If the clouds had five star dining, cedar hot tubs, and unlimited drinks, that is.
Cloud Camp provides plenty of activities and opportunities for you to connect with fellow attendees – Morning yoga on the deck, guided hikes, mule rides, archery, and the highest Pickleball court in the country!
A retreat back to simpler times, so while you will have access to wifi, you can get a healthy dose of digital detox with an unmatched group of peers that you can go deep with, fast.
And as usual, we’ve got the entire venue to ourselves!
"Cloud Camp was absolutely amazing. It was the best of Baby Bathwater. The fun of getting to know new folks with the intimate atmosphere of the smaller events. The location alone is pretty epic. The venue literally sits above the clouds of Colorado and is one of the largest collectors of Western Art. Plus, it boasts the highest pickle ball court in the world. The intimate setting allows you to get to get deep with others and get help on long-standing problems. I highly, highly recommend going to this event."

"Cloud Camp is expanding the spectrum of why I love BBW. The more intimate setting, mountains, seclusion, and the staff was great. My favorite part was connecting on a deeper level with several people. In addition, being able to focus on business and immediate action was a huge benefit. Diving deep into focus pods and then furthering it in conversations was amazing.
Couldn’t recommend this event enough. "
"Cloud Camp was 5 stars. The small group was great for getting to know each other. The pods were flawlessly chosen. The food I miss terribly right now. The location was breathtaking. And the accountability on action items was the home run for me. Perfect combination of work and play."

“It's the most direct way to get to where I want to go. I leave totally full... the events are worth their weight in gold."

“I felt like everything was complete chaos before arriving. My business is rapidly expanding, and for some reason I created a new one… But I left the private mastermind with a sense of direction, and (more importantly) practical steps to organize the chaos.
And the accountability and support from the group since has been a lifesaver. The connections I made are life-long and it was one of the funnest weeks of my life. The location and service was incredible. Mixing business with pleasure in the best way!”
"I was a bit hesitant going to Cloud Camp because I am completely swamped with franchising my studios. I only went because I wanted to hang out with my best friends and needed some good times...but honestly didn’t expect to get tons of business value.
So I was surprised to find that I had created an actionable to-do list on the last day that now (three weeks later) has saved me time while increasing revenues. Not what I expected at all. And it is nice that the group is following up and rooting me on.
The strangest part was that I still was able to laugh my ass off, deepen my friendships, and escape from what has been a really tough year."
Cloud Camp is located on top of Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs, CO. It is operated by The Broadmoor, which is where we’ll first meet for the event. From here, there will be shuttle transportation to take us up the mountain to Cloud Camp. If you are flying in for the event, Baby Bathwater will have shuttles available at both Denver International Airport (DIA) and Colorado Springs Airport (COS) to take you to the Broadmoor if you need transportation.
We’ll share the itinerary with all the attendees prior to the event. Things officially kick off on Monday, September 25th at 1:30PM Mountain Time.
The event will wrap up at 12:00PM Mountain Time on Thursday, September 28th.
We will have dining options to accommodate vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free at every meal. We can make arrangements for a variety of other diets as well — just let us know ahead of time.
The Broadmoor has nanny services available nearby that can take care of your children while you participate in the event. Click here to learn more and check availability.

“This is the only event I won't miss throughout the year. These are my people, and it's like the high tide that raises all ships. We're all helping each other, to build our businesses together. You just don't find this anywhere else.”

“I’ve been in business for over three decades and started six organizations in health and sustainability. We’ve run dozens of events and I’ve participated in hundreds, including some very high end masterminds. I must say that my experience with Baby Bathwater stands at the top: not only do I love the other members, the hosts, the venues and the food, but it rocks my soul, boosts my spirit and teaches me high ROI business processes and methods. After each event I feel more engaged and enthusiastic to implement what I’ve learned and equally supported for my passions and pursuits.”

“The perfect mix of top experts, a down to earth community of thinkers and doers. Michael Lovitch, Hollis Carter, and the Baby Bathwater team know that the best events combine great content and great people.”
“BBW was easily the best mastermind and networking event that we have ever attended. The fact that everyone in attendance was so heavily vetted and verified by the BBW curators made the event far more productive and enjoyable. We didn’t have to worry about anyone trying to sell us on something, or waste our time with self-serving agendas. The collective brain power and creativity of the attendees allowed us to learn some great things, and most importantly, make incredible connections that have already taken our business to the next level. BBW is a home run both personally and professionally.”

“I’ve attended and spoken at many business and networking events over the years and Baby Bathwater is more than a few levels above the rest. Part networking group, part mastermind, part party. You’ll meet some of the most interesting people on the planet at their events. I highly recommend!”

"This is the best group of humans I've ever found on this planet (not that I've tried other planets...) Just a wonderful mastermind. The curated nature of the group, the locations, the food, the content & the good times. Flying from Australia twice a year is no small commitment - but I can't imagine NOT making the trip. If you get an invite, don't even think - jump on a plane & go experience it for yourself. Your business, your mind, your bank account & your soul will thank you."

“I usually come to these things and I look for one nugget of gold, one thing that could make a difference. When you leave with a bag of nuggets, you know it was worth the effort. It’s about the family. It’s about the network. It’s about the connections. That’s what this is about. And as we become one with the mountain, we become one together… I think what Michael and Hollis are doing—whether they feel it or believe it not—is creating a legacy. And the legacy comes really from the fact that they’re curating this event for the maximum value of the people that participate. They’re saying to hell with the bullshit, to hell with all of the stuff that you’ll find at other masterminds.”

“This was the best mastermind event I’ve ever been to. The content was great and the people were top notch. This will serve as a model for how conscious business is conducted in the future. All the elements were there to make it an amazing experience.”
“We can't afford not to be a part of it. This is such an incredible and helpful group of people. We've never been part of a business community where people go out of their way to help for no reason at all...and our business has skyrocketed as a result of this group. Key hires, marketing, partnerships, brand vision...it's an invaluable wealth of knowledge and support."
"I attend probably 15-20 masterminds a year, and Baby Bathwater I tell everyone is my absolute favorite. It's authentic, it's soulful, it's loving, it's community, there's no pretense. It's just about a deep sense of authentic connection and soul."
