The smartest thing I do in life is hang out with people who are brighter, smarter, faster, hotter than me.

Last year in April, I jumped on the chance to hang out with some super dope marketers in San Francisco.  Elite Retreat is a small gathering of top movers and shakers.  Some people are put off by the $5K ticket.  But thats shortsighted.  You instantly gain amazing contacts… the lineup consists of Internet icons like Jeremy Schoemaker, David Dellanave, Neil Patel, Andy Liu, Aaron Wall.  The rolodex alone is easily worth the ticket price!

There might be 30-40 people in attendance … and they are equally inspiring!  You meet people like 16yo millionaire Harrison GervitzDavid KleinMitchel Harad to name a few.  Its been fun watching these guys develop significant shit this year… Harrison launched LeaderClicksJustin Goff launched GymJunkies

Check this — the 26yo kid sitting next to me (in the back row holla!) is a multi-millionaire… We became good friends…  and jumped head first into a project together right after the event!

A great measurement of an event — is how many repeat attendees there are — and here you will find a bunch!  I wanted to go again this year — but had already booked a trip to Brazil when the dates were announced :(

I think there’s gonna be another Elite Reatreat this summer… so definitely put it on your radar!
