Hi all,

Happy Sunday!

I won’t lie to you, things are really ramping up over here at the moment.

We’ve got 2 weeks left before we move from Dubai to the South of France and make it our new home AND only 2 months until I get married in the beautiful Cotswolds, UK.

As you can imagine, there is a lot going on - however, this week I decided to record a 37 minute B2B Growth Workshop, which outlines exactly how we are going to go from six to seven figures profit this year and how our clients are doing the same. I thought it might be something you would appreciate, so find it here.

You can expect to learn about LinkedIn, simple AI, as well as our approach to positioning, content, sales AND trust building.

It’s worth adding, this workshop gives away our entire framework and my way of looking at business, which is by building what I’ve called a “Digital Bistro Table Mechanism’ - so pull up a seat, watch the workshop and let me know what you think!

Here’s me sat at a bistro table in Monaco having just made the decision to move there.

We're living through a paradox. We've never been more connected digitally, yet we've never felt more disconnected professionally. Building trust has never been harder and therefore sales cycles and marketing are becoming much harder and longer (no pun intended).

While the world doubled down on virtual events, Zoom fatigue, and endless Slack channels, the smartest operators quietly figured something out: the future of B2B isn't about more technology. It's about more humanity.

Why In-Person Wins

Here's what a Zoom call can't replicate: the conversation over dinner that turns into your next hire. The off hand comment during a coffee break that becomes your best partnership. The collective energy of solving real problems with people who actually get it.

B2B masterminds and retreats aren't just networking events. They're strategic accelerators. When you put the right people in the same room, away from the noise of daily operations, magic happens. Deals get done. Strategies get refined. Real relationships form.

However, people don’t want networking anymore, they want an experience among like minded people. This means a great deal more than just meeting people, it’s exploring with them.

The Competitive Advantage You're Missing

While your competitors are still scheduling 30 minute discovery calls, the leaders in your space are building tight-knit communities. They're investing in experiences that create lasting bonds, not just business cards.

The companies winning today understand that trust is built in person, because when everyone goes right, you need to go left. That innovation happens when you take smart people out of their usual environment and let them think differently. That the ROI of a single weekend with the right group can eclipse months of virtual meetings.

What's Next

I've been thinking a lot about this. About creating a space where founders and business leaders can disconnect from the chaos and reconnect with what actually moves the needle. Beautiful locations. Curated groups. Real conversations.

I'm exploring running some intimate business retreats in the south of France, think strategic sessions by day, exceptional wine and conversation by night. The kind of environment where your best ideas surface naturally.

Hikes by the coast, skiing in the alps and dinners in Monaco with some top level business owners.

If that's something that resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you. Just reply to this email.

The best conversations happen face-to-face. Let's bring them back.

Here’s the 2026 B2B Growth Workshop again if you missed the link at the top of the newsletter!

Have a great week,
