Most founder retreats happen in a conference room.This one starts with an ocean swim.
In this special solo episode, Steven Pivnik pulls back the curtain on the Founder Executive Triathlon Retreat and answers the most common questions founders ask before applying.
Why combine business strategy with endurance sports? Do you need triathlon experience? Who is the ideal participant? What actually happens over the course of the weekend? And what kind of business breakthroughs can founders expect when they step away from their companies and challenge themselves alongside other high-performing entrepreneurs?
Drawing on lessons from building and exiting a global technology company, completing 17 IRONMAN races, and advising founders on growth and exit readiness, Steven explains why entrepreneurship is an endurance sport and why some of the most important business decisions happen outside the office.
Over three days in Atlantic Beach, New York, participants will tackle an ocean swim, a group bike ride, a run, strategic business workshops, founder roundtables, and one-on-one coaching sessions designed to help them build stronger companies and become more effective leaders. The weekend culminates in a sprint triathlon where participants put both mindset and preparation to the test.
Whether you’re considering applying for a future retreat or simply curious about the connection between endurance, leadership, and building a company worth owning, and eventually selling. This episode provides an inside look at one of the most unique founder experiences available today.
