About this Event


About the Experience

The Founders Wave exists for one reason, to help founders see their challenges differently.

In the rush of leadership, it’s easy to believe the answer is to push harder, think longer, or work more. But sometimes, the real breakthrough happens when you step away , when you change your environment, quiet the noise, and give your mind space to move.

That’s what this retreat is about. Through movement, reflection, and connection, you’ll rediscover the clarity that only comes when you’re outside the grind, when you’re not just reacting to the waves, but learning to ride them.

Guided by Cody Hall , entrepreneur, Faces Podcast host, Marine Corps Recon veteran, and a team of expert coaches and leaders, Founders Wave blends real business insight with grounded perspective. It’s not about escaping your work; it’s about returning to it renewed, with balance, strength, and direction.

Because the best founders don’t just build businesses , they build lives worth leading.
