- November 9-12, 2026
As Featured In...
Welcome to the underground haven for founders & CEO’s! This community unites visionaries across industries, offering exclusive events and a deeper, annual membership for nurturing long-term professional and personal growth.
If you are in the pivotal 5-25 million grow & scale phase, if you’ve transitioned from the initial hustle of entrepreneurship to that of strategic leadership, if you want to have good times with other founders, cut lightyears off your learning curve, and grow financially…
Then join us in Texas this November. We’ll be taking over a premium lakeside retreat just outside of Austin… The perfect setting for a proper Baby Bathwater hoedown. Picture early mornings on the water, golden-hour hangs on the dock, and nights that roll into live music, shared stories, and maybe a little two-steppin’.
“I’m the guy that hates masterminds…I swore them off as not my scene, and didn’t like the vibe & being constantly pitched. I was really resistant to coming here...but this is 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.”
One of the most respected clinicians and educators in the fields of functional medicine and ancestral health
“I was worried before I came to this conference that it would be a bro-fest, but I have been so pleasantly surprised. Not only at the sheer number of women, but at the quality of those women. Every single one that I have met is a badass in her own right. So many people who are amazing at what they do and who are also totally willing to say what they’re not good at - and that is so refreshing.”

THE FLAGSHIP
YOUR PORTAL TO NEXT LEVEL GROWTH
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 some actionable takeaways from 18+ content sessions and countless life-altering convos. There will be ~100 guests at this Texas Flagship, including both Members and newcomers.
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 April ‘24, and are thrilled to report they have already snatched up over half of the available tickets.
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.
"It’s the most direct way to get where I want to go. I can keep going to these traditional conferences and try to learn specific stuff or I can just go directly to Baby Bathwater and be with people that have done what I want to do and connect with them and learn directly from them. Just ask them ‘hey this is where I'm at, I want to do this, how do I do that’ and they'll tell me in like three seconds."
"I had high expectations and they've been blown out of the water. If you’re lucky enough to get asked or invited…give them your money before they figure out you probably shouldn’t be there, because that’s how I feel. So if you have the chance, get the application form done, show up, ask lots of questions, be a good person and things will happen.
“Never could I have ever imagined that doing business with people could be THIS fun. Yes, you'll get tremendous value professionally, but the people you meet - that's the gold."

✔️ 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

“I conservatively think my return on investment so far is no less than 40X. The worry I had was, ‘Damn I'm old. What will I possibly be able to share with these crazy, smart, young people?’ But when I am watching the sunrise on Friday morning with new friends for life I am passionate about, I knew it was the first day of the rest of my life. The people, the food, the resort, the content, the growth, the MUSIC. Damn, I wish I was back there…”
“It saves you like TEN YEARS of networking being a part of this thing."

You’ll leave this event armed with an arsenal of ideas and action steps proven to be effective in the real world.
Cheers to making new connections that last a lifetime…
“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.”
“It's gold wrapped in gold, wrapped in humor, wrapped in gold. This is so fun and so valuable.”
“Full of dangerous animals who are at the top of their game. Intimidating at times, profoundly helpful, and refreshingly weird. I came away from the last member’s event with a simple tactic that boosted our monthly revenue and transformed the experience of our users. Not bad for a whiskey fueled weekend!”

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.

Through our events and ongoing membership community, you’ll form friendships and connections that provide the understanding, empathy, and encouragement you need to thrive.

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.

When it comes to pushing the edge inside of your industry it can be difficult to find people that want to pioneer and develop new concepts...at bbw this is what happens.”
