Watch Wendy and Blair's testimonial

"It’s actually changed the trajectory of my career and business. Best conference I’ve been to."

The goal of the MO is much deeper than a learning event. It fosters an environment for impact CEOs to connect and develop meaningful relationships – relationships that are symbiotic and lasting. Check out the video to the left to see how the MO helped connect Wendy Strgar (Good Clean Love) and Blair Kellison (Formerly of Traditional Medicinals).

Interactive programming that inspires.

The workshops and panels for this summit are designed to enable CEOs to connect with one another. Our goal is to harness the camaraderie that makes the impact space so special and empower CEOs to continue forging the path of smarter money – where people and profits can both be emphasized.

How Any Company Can Be a Climate Change Activist

Building Brands & Movements

Come be a part of a connected conversation on how to build an authentic mission-driven brand from the inside out. This is not about a product finding a mission but will be an incredible opportunity to experience a methodology and live crafting of an authentic mission with a product. Furthermore, learn about how to utilize the purpose of play to reach new heights creatively and catalyze your stakeholders.

The A, B, C’s of Raising Equity

Do you know the difference between preferred and common stock or participating convertible vs non-participating convertible? if not, you should because prospective investors do know the difference. This workshop will familiarize you with the key terms of an equity raise and help you better protect your interests.

Racial Justice, Love, and Belonging

Why are many white people (and white men in particular) resistant to diversity, equity, and inclusion work? One reason is that white folks often view this work from a place of guilt, shame, or fear of making a mistake. These feelings, while valid, can inspire some action. But the foundational, deeply transformative change we seek comes from something more powerful: love, joy, compassion, empathy, connection, and belonging. How can we create a space of possibility—where people can have the transformative somatic realization that racial justice and collective liberation are grounded in love, joy, and community? Come explore with us. Folks of all identities are welcome to attend.
