Step into an evening that blends the leadership mindset of Extreme Ownership with the rich traditions of fine whiskey. This monthly experience is for those who want to lead with discipline, take full responsibility for their results, and enjoy the refined pleasure of premium spirits in great company.

Evening Highlights:

As we have shared many bottles of whiskey and had great conversations during our Books & Bourbon gatherings, I want to make our next meetup a little more festive. For our Christmas bottle exchange, I am inviting everyone to bring a miniature bottle of their favorite whiskey. It will add a fun twist to the evening and give us all a chance to discover something new. Let’s make this one memorable.

Whiskey Tasting Experience:
Begin your night with a curated whiskey tasting featuring a variety of top-quality selections. Each pour represents craftsmanship, patience, and precision—values that mirror the principles of leadership and accountability we will explore together throughout the evening.

Book Exploration – Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin:
Engage in meaningful discussion around the principles that define true leadership. Together, we will examine real-world lessons on taking ownership, leading through challenges, and creating a culture of responsibility that drives results personally and professionally.

Intentional Networking:
Connect with entrepreneurs, professionals, and leaders in a relaxed yet focused atmosphere. This is more than just a networking night—it is a forum for genuine connection with others who value growth, leadership, and action.

A Year-Long Journey Begins:

This event kicks off our 12-Month Bourbon & Whiskey Series, where each month we will explore a new selection of whiskeys paired with a powerful book that sharpens our mindset and mission. Each gathering builds on the last, creating a continuous journey of growth, reflection, and connection.

Who Should Attend:

Entrepreneurs, executives, veterans, and anyone dedicated to developing stronger leadership, clearer communication, and unshakable accountability—all while enjoying the artistry of exceptional whiskey.

Additional Details:

Participants must be 21 or older to participate in the whiskey tasting. Conscious enjoyment is encouraged, and non-alcoholic options will be available.

Join us for Books & Bourbon: Where Leadership Meets Legacy.
Whether you are discovering Extreme Ownership for the first time or reinforcing your leadership foundation, this evening offers clarity, connection, and character—one conversation and one sip at a time.

We look forward to seeing you there.
