Designing the Next 3–6 Months of Your Legacy Life
This hybrid panel + experience is designed for senior leaders, creative founders, and former executives navigating a life or identity transition. The event kicks off with a high-impact panel titled "Legacy Redefined: Reinvention at the Peak of Power" featuring a curated lineup of luminary speakers — including ex-CEOs, former policymakers, creative founders, and senior educators — who’ve successfully pivoted into legacy-building roles.
Following the panel, attendees will join guided breakout sprints (virtual and in-person pods) where they’ll design their next chapter using AI-assisted templates and a custom-designed legacy workbook. In the final hour, select participants can pitch or demo what they’re launching next — whether it’s a venture, book, initiative, or personal project — with feedback from impact investors, legacy builders, and transition coaches.
What makes it special:
It’s more than a conversation — it’s a transition container. Attendees leave with a personal roadmap for the next 3–6 months of their legacy, practical feedback from experts, and curated connections with fellow high-caliber leaders also in reinvention.

The Marketing Trap & How To Escape
Santa Monica
·
Playbook Media, GrowTal Inc
Too many companies fall into the same trap: chasing short-term performance wins while ignoring the foundations that drive lasting growth. Funnels flatten, ad spend stops scaling, and brands fade into the background—until fixing it is far more costly.
In The Performance Marketing Trap, Bryan Karas—founder of Playbook Media & GrowTal—shares a crash course in avoiding the mistakes that stall growth at every stage, and shows how to build a marketing system that compounds over time.
In this session, we’ll cover how to:
Spot the Pitfalls – Understand the common traps in performance marketing and how to avoid the ones that kill growth.
Hire Smarter – Build the right team and avoid the principal–agent problem that derails strategy.
Optimize for Marginal Returns – Create a performance marketing system that scales efficiently instead of stalling.
Leverage Brand for Profitability – Use brand marketing not just for awareness, but as a driver of conversion and improved margins.
Integrate AI for the Future – Stay ahead by applying AI to accelerate growth, scale authenticity, and maximize returns.
You’ll leave with practical strategies to sidestep the trap, unlock profitable scale, and build a marketing engine that accelerates growth instead of stalling it.
