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.
