🔥 Why this retreat exists

If you’ve been stuck in the loop—busy, stressed, and still not moving forward—this is the pattern interrupt. You’ll get time, space, and the right environment to sharpen your systems, your execution, and your direction. Expect real conversations, practical breakdowns, and accountability—without fluff.

✅ What this is (and isn’t)

  • This is: hands-on learning, real-world business/operator talk, and a community weekend with standards.

  • Handymen, tradespeople, and small-business operators who want momentum and systems.

  • People who learn fast by being around doers.

  • Anyone tired of spinning and ready to execute.
