A Letter From

Dr. Eric Thomas

Listen to me closely… Most people in the 1% want to gatekeep.

They want to gatekeep their network, their information, their strategies - everything that you need in order to actually join the 1% yourself.

We’re breaking the mold.

On April 16th-18th, in Chicago, IL - we’re going to reveal EVERYTHING, starting from the inside out. Joining the 1% isn’t about making a certain amount of money, it’s about becoming a 1%’er spiritually & personally FIRST… and we’re not just going to show you how, we’re going to put you in a curated environment where transformation is guaranteed.

Then, we’re going to show you the exact strategies for leveraging that personal transformation, and how you can turn it into internal AND external success - financially, relationally, and more.

We waited for years before bringing back these mega-conferences, and the timing of this one is no accident. It’s more important than ever before to be a 1% human being in all aspects - and now, we’re ready to show you how.

So - don’t just meet us there… Beat us there!
