Leadership today is a high-performance sport. The most effective executives aren’t just managing teams and capital—they’re managing their own biology. Come to hear from experts in physiology, life science, and AI-driven health intelligence will decode the metrics that truly shape executive performance. On stage: Anastasia Sartan She built companies since most people were still figuring out student loans. Scaled teams from 5 to 100. Ran product at Snapchat. Then decided building one company wasn’t enough — so she built three. Today, she’s CEO of GetGenAI — an AI-first inspector that can check anything against any standard in seconds (think FDA labels, legal docs, your next press release). She’s also the force behind Hire5 and TheCycle. We’ll talk about: -- Cognitive and physiological load for executives -- Metrics that matter: from HRV to focus and fatigue, cutting through the noise to what drives sustainable leadership. -- Real-time feedback loops: leveraging stress and recovery data to make smarter decisions under pressure. -- Elite-athlete tools for the boardroom: translating proven performance systems into practical routines for tech and business leaders. -- The future of longevity intelligence: how to map aging with your DNA and build a precision roadmap to not just slow decline, but extend high performance—powered by AI. Forget the handshake wrap‑up—our finale is a Monarch signature high‑intensity training experience designed for leaders who treat fitness as a strategic advantage. It’s equal parts challenge and thrill, tailored to test resilience, fire up endorphins, and prove that peak performance doesn’t end in the boardroom.

As a founder, you’re constantly juggling fundraising, hiring, and finding (and keeping!) customers. Each of these topics could take up your entire week… but you don’t always have a trusted place to get answers. That’s why on October 14th from 11am-2pm PT, we’re hosting Breakouts, an office hours–style event designed for early stage founders and investors. At Breakouts, you'll join small groups for tactical, intimate discussions on topics like fundraising, GTM strategies, compliance, growth, and more. Each group will be led by a subject matter expert — typically an investor, founder, or expert operator. No strategic hovering. No awkward networking for five minutes of valuable feedback. You'll get direct access to experts and connect with other founders who are going through the same things as you. Skip the generic advice and get help with the challenges you’re wrestling with right now. How it Works: - Sessions will be 30 minutes each. - When you arrive, you’ll be matched with a session that best fits your preferences listed when registering. - Fundraising sessions take place from 11am–12pm. - All other sessions (hiring and customer-focused topics) take place from 12–2pm.

Aivars Mirzo Lipenitis (IVR) is the former CEO and founder of a live entertainment company in Europe. He has worked with all the major talent agencies and management companies, as well as countless artists, international sponsors, and media outlets. There was a time when the company put on a show every night in different parts of Europe. Then, IVR went broke. Financially, physically, and spiritually. He lost everything: his companies, home, car, office, friends, relationship, and health. Throughout his recovery, the author learned many lessons and wants to share them with future readers—young entrepreneurs, achievers, and those dreaming of radical change and a more exciting lifestyle. IVR experienced complex relationships filled with heartbreak, drugs, and abuse; a loss of his once-favored public image; and hours, days, and even years of self-reflection and learning to find his way back to himself. In his book, IVR shares his experiences, as well as stories of the entrepreneurs he met and worked with along the way, and studies from recognized universities and scientists. His story was first released in his native Latvia, where it soon became a bestseller. Reader feedback allowed the author to rewrite the book for an international release. Aivars Mirzo Lipenitis is now the CEO of a group of consulting, technology, and marketing companies, as well as a highly sought-after consultant in the corporate and startup innovation world. His passion for music and the live scene has never faded. The book is an independent release and will be available at select bookstores and online. In the event, the author will share stories from the book. Expect violance, abuse, use of substances, strong language. You will have the opportunity to purchase a signed copy of the book at a special rate.
