This past June, leaders, innovators, and changemakers gathered at the Archer Hotel for Revive & Thrive 2025 — a weekend designed to reignite passion, amplify purpose, and celebrate the power of connection.

In this episode of Finding the Upside, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the event:

• The moments that moved the room
• The big ideas that set the tone for transformation
• And the themes that are still shaping conversations long after the event

You’ll hear highlights on rebel leadership, authentic storytelling, belonging as hospitality, and stepping fully into your worth — all core messages from the incredible speakers who took the stage.

Want more than a glimpse? The full speaker presentations, panels, and replays are now available exclusively inside the Business Leaders Hub — my subscription community built for education, empowerment, and inspiration. Details are in the show notes!

And if this sneak peek sparks something in you… just wait until next year’s event. We’re already planning, and trust me — you’ll want to be in the room.
