The Gear Down: Sauna + Ice + Workshop
***A Men's Only Event***
[See Friday's schedule for our Women's only session]
Performance demands that we understand our gears and fully tune in. It’s not about staying in one mode—it’s about knowing when and how to shift.
This experience combines contrast therapy with a deep-dive workshop tailored for men. It's not about testing how long you can stay in an ice bath, so leave your ego at the door.
Expect a transformative blend of challenge, reflection, and growth that will fuel both your business and personal journey.
Led by Megan Dolce, Co-Founder and Head Coach of Ripe, a human leadership development company based in LA. Megan is known for her work with professional athletes, VCs, founders, leaders, and teams from Fortune 100 companies.

Just Do It?: Helping Founders Perform Like Olympians
YC CEO Garry Tan recently warned: “Startups rarely die from market wounds—they implode under fractures in the founder’s psyche.” Investors are noticing too: Felicis pioneered a 1% Founder Development Pledge. Seven Seven Six doubled it.
Join Dr. Joe Mannion, founder of Meet The Moment Inc, to explore how sport and performance psychology can help founders grow in tandem with their startups. Attendees will leave with a practical template (created by colleagues with Teams Denmark and Switzerland) for using mindfulness and core values to build clarity, resilience, and a more meaningful journey.
Experts from Elite Psychology Group in Los Angeles, where Joe is completing his postdoc, will also be available for conversation with attendees.
___
Recovery-supporting beverages and pre-dinner snacks will be provided by local startups, including AirFare which provides healthy snacks to offices AND is offering every attendee a free sample box for their office!! -> http://www.airfaresnacks.com. See “Latest Updates" for instructions.
