Our First Summit · Oct 8–9, 2026
Most leaders are chasing AI tactics.Wise leaders start with vision and strategy.
The Summit is a two-day executive intensive in Boulder, Colorado, where a small group of founders and executives build their AI strategy — and the capability to lead it — with two coaches and a room of peers.
Two days. Two coaches. One room you’re glad you’re in.
Thursday–Friday, October 8–9, 2026Whisper Ranch, Boulder, Colorado
Arrive for lunch on Thursday, October 8 — a half day together Thursday, a full day Friday, wrapping by 4pm.
Outcomes, Not Features
Three things you’ll carry out of this room.
1
A written AI strategy for your organization.
Vision, governance, budget, team, tools, timeline. The kind of document you can hand to your board, your CFO, and your direct reports and have them all moving in the same direction. Not a slide deck someone else built. Yours.
2
A bench of peers who already know your context.
A room of founders and C-suite leaders who’ve sat with the same questions you’re sitting with. The kind of people you call before you make a decision, not after. The room is the product.
3
Clarity on what to greenlight and what to kill.
You’ll leave knowing where AI fits in your organization, where it doesn’t, and what to do first. Not in theory. Monday morning. The goal isn’t more on your plate — it’s doing far more by carrying less, so you can thrive in this season.
The Shape of the Two Days
Two days. From essence to a plan that’s yours.
October 8–9, 2026 at Whisper Ranch. Arrive for lunch on Thursday, October 8 — a half day together Thursday, a full day Friday, wrapping by 4pm.
Thu Oct 8 · Half day · Essence → Vision
Arrive, then the reframe.
You arrive for lunch and settle in. The afternoon brings the reframe that sets up the whole intensive, one live demo of what’s actually possible now, and the move from your organization’s essence to its AI vision — closing over dinner with a fireside on faith and technology.
Fri Oct 9 · Morning · The reckoning
The honest reckoning.
The morning gets honest: a tool-discernment lab, the hard adoption conversation, and the reckoning most leaders avoid. This is the part that decides what you actually greenlight.
Fri Oct 9 · Afternoon · Strategy → Tactics
Build it, then commission it.
Build a working AI assistant, integrate faith and stewardship, and draft a one-page AI manifesto. We commission the climb together and wrap by 4pm.
The Summit commissions the climb — you leave with the plan and the first moves, not a 90-day deployment.
Two days at Whisper Ranch.
On October 8–9, 2026, the whole intensive gathers in person at Whisper Ranch in Boulder, Colorado, co-founded by Jeff and Mindy Caliguire.
Each member gets the valuable opportunity for focused attention from peers and two coaches on the hardest challenge they’re carrying. Your strategy is on paper. The input you get here is the kind that would have taken months alone — or never come at all.
And we’ll laugh, hike, and breathe in the mountains together — the kind of time that reminds you why the work matters in the first place.
Focused Hotseat
Peers and two coaches on your hardest challenge. Come away with breakthroughs that free you to lead the future, not just accept it.
Strategy Pressure-Test
Your AI strategy gets sharpened in person by the room that helped you build it.
Connection
Great food, wide views, optional excursions. The kind of days that change how you think about what’s possible.
A Tight Perimeter
This room is curated. Here’s who belongs in it.
This Is For
Founders, CEOs, and C-suite executives leading organizations of consequence. You’re past curiosity about AI. You’re ready to make decisions that will shape your organization for years. You want peers who carry the same weight you do, and coaches who won’t waste your time.
This Is Not For
AI engineers looking for technical depth. Individual contributors hoping for a how-to on prompts. Leaders who want to be told what to do rather than think it through with peers. Anyone who treats a room like an audience instead of a team.
We’re selective because the quality of the room is the product. Every seat changes the room. We take that seriously.
Investment
Clear on price. Adamant on table stakes.

Enroll — $3,000 →You already know what a bad AI decision costs at your level. You know what it costs to move slowly while the landscape moves fast.
This is what it costs to be in the room. The question is what it costs to stay out of one.
Getting There
Travel and lodging, without the guesswork.
Whisper Ranch sits on Marshall Road in south Boulder — about 45 minutes from Denver International Airport and 15 minutes from downtown Boulder. Travel and lodging are participant-paid. Here’s what we recommend.
Where to Stay
St Julien Hotel & Spa ↗
Downtown Boulder · ~15 min to the Ranch
Boulder’s flagship luxury hotel — full-service spa, Flatirons views, and Pearl Street a block away. The classic executive choice.
Hotel Boulderado ↗
Downtown Boulder · ~15 min to the Ranch
A Boulder landmark since 1909, one block off Pearl Street. Historic rooms under a stained-glass atrium, with some of the best bars and restaurants in town under one roof.
Limelight Boulder ↗
University & Broadway · ~15 min to the Ranch
Boulder’s newest hotel, from the team behind Aspen’s Limelight properties. Modern rooms, mountain views, and an easy walk to Pearl Street.
Omni Interlocken Hotel ↗
Broomfield · ~10 min to the Ranch
A resort-style option just off US-36 — golf, spa, and the shortest morning drive to the Ranch. Convenient if you’re heading straight back to the airport after we wrap.
To & From Denver International (DEN)
Rent a car — our recommendation.
Every major agency operates at DEN, and the drive to Boulder runs about 45 minutes via E-470 and US-36. A car makes the short morning drives to the Ranch simple and keeps your evenings flexible.
Uber or Lyft.
Plentiful at DEN — expect roughly $70–100 each way to Boulder. Rideshare works for the Ranch too; just schedule your return pickup in advance, since Marshall Road sits outside the busiest pickup zones.
Private car service.
Several Boulder-area services run private sedans and SUVs between DEN and Boulder, with your driver meeting you at arrivals. Book ahead — especially for early flights out.
RTD SkyRide (Route AB1).
The public express bus between DEN and Downtown Boulder Station — about 90 minutes for around $10. Simple and reliable, though you’ll still want a car or rideshare to reach the Ranch.
