RISE 27 is built to be worth more than its ticket price, and the ticket price goes up $200 on January 1.
Three Parts, One Experience
RISE 27 is April 8–9, 2027, in St. Louis. It isn’t one great speaker or one good idea. It’s three parts that work together:
- Hear it on the main stage. Four Stage Speakers deliver direct, challenging sessions built to make you confront, decide, or act, not a traditional lecture or a sales pitch.
- Write it in the RISE Journal. After every stage presentation and table session, you open the RISE Journal for Free-Write time and write down how you will implement what you just heard.
- Apply it at a Champion Activation Table. At the Champion Activation Tables, business owners lead 35-minute Applied Transformation Sessions where you participate instead of just listening, followed by 10 more minutes of journal time.
Each part is useful on its own. Together they close the gap most events leave open: the one between hearing something and doing something.
What That Adds Up To
Here’s the cycle at work. A stage speaker challenges you to face where you’ve been settling. You write down what that stirred up and how you’ll act on it. Then at a table, you work through it with other owners, with a Table Leader who can stay to answer your questions, and you write again.
You repeat that across both days, in the same journal. By the end, you aren’t holding inspiration. You’re holding commitments and a plan, which is what RISE is designed to leave you with: greater clarity, practical action, and a network of prospective Champions committed to growth.
What You Take Home
The journal is where RISE 27 becomes yours. When you leave St. Louis, it holds your own words from every session, and three things come out of it:
- Greater clarity. You’ve faced where you’ve been settling, and you’ve written down who you are and the standard you want to live by. A prompt as direct as “Where have you been settling for less than your standard?” leaves you something real to write.
- Practical action. Each session ends with you writing how you’ll implement what you heard. Together, those pages are clear commitments and an actionable plan to put what you’ve learned into motion.
- A network of prospective Champions. The tables put you in working conversation with other owners who came to grow. The journal holds what you decided to do, and the tables introduce you to people to do it with.
On Monday, you don’t start from a blank page. You start from the one you filled in.
Why It’s Worth the Trip
Almost everyone at RISE 27 will travel to be there. That’s part of what makes the room work: the owners at your table came from somewhere else, and so did you.
Picture a Realtor from Dayton, Ohio, flying in. Real estate runs on relationships and referrals. I came up in that business, so I know. Here’s what the trip does for them:
- Clarity about who they serve. The Identity work pushes them to say what happens to the people they help, in one sentence a lender, an attorney, or a past client could repeat.
- Commitments on the relationships they’ve neglected. The follow-up they’ve been postponing with a past client or a referral partner gets written down, with a plan, before they leave St. Louis.
- A room of owners outside their market. At the tables, they work through real topics with business owners who aren’t their neighbors, and some may become Champions.
Swap the Realtor for a consultant, a coach, a contractor, or an owner running a team. The details change, and the trip works the same way: two days away from the daily operation, in person with owners who came to act, and a journal full of decisions you made while you were there.
The ticket is only part of the cost of getting to St. Louis, so the trip has to be worth it first. If it is, saving $200 on the ticket is the easiest decision you’ll make.
The Price Question
Early-bird tickets are $149 per person through December 31. On January 1, 2027, the price goes up $200, to $349.
At $349, RISE 27 is still a serious opportunity for an owner who will act on it: four main stage sessions, journal time after each one, and hands-on tables with other owners, all in two days. But the experience doesn’t change on January 1. The speakers, the journal, and the tables are the same. Only the price does.
Ask yourself what one clear decision, or one Champion relationship, would be worth to your business. Then compare that number to $349. Then to $149.
That’s the biggest reason to buy now: you get everything RISE 27 offers for $200 less.
