You’re not imagining it - leading a team, scaling a company, and staying true to yourself at the same time can feel like a grind. But what if the problem isn’t your effort… it’s the way you’re wired?

Join Amy Bruske, President of Kolbe Corp and one of the top experts on instinctive strengths and performance, for a high-impact session on how to lead more naturally, build stronger teams, and operate with less friction.

Day 2 – Private Equity 2.0 with John Ratliff

The second day focuses on what every entrepreneur should understand about private equity—whether you're planning an exit or simply want to maximize the value of what you're building.

• How PE firms actually make money—and how that affects your outcome
