Where: Hawkeye & Huckleberry Lounge
What: We’re kicking off the year with a focused, energizing event centered on Intentional Momentum — how real progress is designed, sustained, and carried forward over time.
This event blends inspiration and execution. You’ll hear real stories from leaders who have built momentum through pivotal moments in their journeys, paired with practical insight into the systems, structures, and tools that turn intention into consistent forward motion.
This kickoff is for anyone who wants progress that doesn’t rely on motivation alone, and is ready to build systems that make momentum inevitable.
More details:
2026 begins in the Year of the Horse, a symbol of strength, forward motion, and endurance. It’s a fitting frame for this moment. Many of us have clarity about where we want to go. Fewer have systems that actually carry us there.
We have two VERY special guests joining us: Jamie Danek, founder of Humm Kombucha, and Teresa Coats, founder and CEO of LearnAIR. Together, these voices bring complementary perspectives: one rooted in leadership journeys and human dynamics, the other in systems, structure, and leverage.
This panel will explore:
How momentum is built, lost, and regained across different stages of growth
The inflection points and decisions that shaped each speaker’s journey
What systems, rhythms, and operating principles have had the biggest impact on sustained progress
How leaders protect focus and forward motion amid competing priorities
Practical ways AI and operational tools are being used to reduce friction and increase leverage
Expect honest stories, clear perspectives, and ideas you can apply immediately.
Ticket costs for this event will cover the event space and delicious food from Hawk & Huck.
