THE FLAGSHIP
YOUR PORTAL TO NEXT LEVEL GROWTH
Over the past ten years, our social scientists at Baby Bathwater have developed a proprietary formula for quantum wave manipulation and ultimate “good times”.
Minimizing the “bathwater” and maximizing the “baby” to the best of our abilities, always improving, and never settling…
Our flagship events are a chance to break out of your shell, supercharge your network, hit that pressure release valve, and return home recharged with actionable takeaways from 18+ content sessions and countless life-altering convos. Our lakeside campus will be home to ~120 carefully curated guests, including our welcoming Members who drive the culture and newcomers who have been selected for this event.
You’ll be surrounded by:
- Like-minded peers who genuinely understand your journey
- Content & conversations that will cut lightyears off of your business growth
- Support & energy to carry out your lofty ambitions
But space is extremely limited:
We launched this event exclusively to our Members in November ‘23, and are thrilled to report that over half of the available tickets have already been snatched up.
The remaining spots have now been opened to the Non-Members. Demand is high, with over half of the tickets already spoken for and the remaining spots are going fast. We STRONGLY suggest you take action to avoid a most severe case of FOMO.

This is Your Safe, Pitch-Free Place to Grow
This event is a No Pitch Zone. No one’s gonna ask you to sign up or buy anything. The person you sit next to at lunch won’t try to recruit you or give you the hard sell.
Along with never being pitched and never being asked to open your wallet… this also means that all your other inhabitants are more comfortable kicking back and getting real here than anywhere else.
What Really Makes This Event Different?
The curation is real, the community is inviting, and the attention to detail is unmatched
All attendees are pre-vetted over a 45-minute interview call.
- Things we don’t give a damn about:
- How much money you make
- If you are considered “a big deal”
- Who you know
- Now here is what we DO care about:
- You’re a nice person—we’re from small towns, and we’re pretty good at reading people
- You’re a “giver,” not a “taker”
- You have useful business skills… You know what you’re doing
- You LOVE who you’re selling to… We call it the “Give a Shit” factor
- You aren’t scamming people or doing anything unethical
- You’re fun, easy to talk to, and self-reliant

Here’s a peek at just a few of the 18+ content sessions we will have in New York:
EZRA FIRESTONE
Investor and/or Founder of Navage Nasal Care, oVertone Color LLC, Boom by Cindy Joseph, Smart Marketer and Zipify Apps.

- Session: Mobilization Training To Increase Range Of Motion And Avoid Injury
“The definitive guide for building an all-around healthy and high-performing body and mind.” —Andrew Huberman, Professor of Neurobiology, Stanford University & Host of The Huberman Lab Podcast

MAC LACKEY

- Session: Building for an Exit While Creating Scale and Personal Freedom
Mac has started, scaled and sold six companies (including multiple eight-figure exits).

The side benefit is that the things you will do now to help you exit later are the same things that will allow you to actually scale and achieve personal freedom whether you exit or not.

When you attend your first Baby Bathwater event it is a first date of sorts. Only after getting to know each other over four or five days can we decide if we’re a good match for each other for the longer term.
Just know that at our events, you will never be pitched and we will never ask you to open your wallet. Period.
After our events, we review any new folks that we may want to invite into our core membership community. This includes getting feedback from our members, team, event staff, bartenders, and service staff.
If after the event you feel like you have “finally found your people,” and we believe that you are also “our kind of people,”…. then we may invite you to join our year-long membership community.
Any new addition is an integral part of Baby Bathwater Institute’s tradition—Mixing Business with Pleasure like no other group!
You’ll finally have friends who understand you: Let’s be real, being an entrepreneur can be a lonely journey. But at Baby Bathwater, you’ll be surrounded by a bunch of other weirdos who get you, and have experience navigating similar issues in business and life.
You’ll get access to brilliant minds: Ever get stuck on a problem for hours, days, or even weeks? With Baby Bathwater, you’ll have access to some of the brightest entrepreneurs and business owners who have already been through it. Just ask a question and they’ll share their wisdom.
You’ll be part of a community that actually cares: No fake smiles or forced conversations here. The Baby Bathwater crew genuinely cares about each other’s success, and they’re not afraid to show it. If you need help with anything, just say the word and they’ll come running.
You’ll have more fun than you ever thought possible: Baby Bathwater isn’t your typical stuffy networking event. With events on an Island, in the mountains, heli-skiing, and river rafting, you’ll have a blast while building valuable relationships. And who knows, you might even meet your future business partner, best friend, or significant other. Anything is possible at The Baby Bathwater Institute.
We understand that being an entrepreneur can be a lonely journey, which is why we’ve created a community that emphasizes authentic connections and emotional support. At Baby Bathwater, you’ll be surrounded by like-minded individuals who share your experiences and challenges. Through our events and ongoing membership community, you’ll form friendships and connections that provide the understanding, empathy, and encouragement you need to thrive.
The ideal fit for the Baby Bathwater community is a company founder with a success story built on following their instincts, grit, and creativity. They come from various backgrounds and financial levels of success, and typically have a business ranging from 7 to 9 figures. These individuals didn’t necessarily follow traditional career paths, often facing doubts from others, but have proven their resilience and passion for creating. They value genuine connections and understand that status games don’t lead to happiness. With a thirst for life and a commitment to enjoying the journey, our members embrace the entrepreneurial roller coaster and prioritize support, camaraderie, and good times within the Baby Bathwater community.
