The Founding 33 · Ten Talents Farm · April 2026
Retreat #1 sold out in 19 days. 33 land operators sat in a room, broke down $14.7M in live deals, built AI systems that replaced $60K/yr roles, and left with partnerships that have already closed 7-figure exits.
This is round two.

April 2026. 33 operators locked in for 72 hours at a private farm outside Knoxville. No vendor booths. No affiliate pitches. No filler panels. Just live deal breakdowns with real numbers, hotseats that solved 6-figure problems in 20 minutes, AI systems built and deployed before Sunday checkout, and the kind of conversations that only happen when the room is curated, not sold.
Real contracts. Real comps. Real numbers. Operators dissected active deals with 33 minds in the room offering live feedback. Problems that had stalled for months got solved in minutes.
Not theory slides about AI. Working systems built live on stage — lead scoring, comp analysis, seller follow-up sequences — that operators took home and deployed before the next Monday.
Three joint ventures were formed at Retreat #1 before Sunday. Bonfire conversations turned into referral pipelines. The room didn't just network — it merged operations.
Range day. Farm-to-table dinners. Private farm tours. S'mores under the Tennessee sky. Challenge coins for the founding 33. The kind of weekend you talk about for years.
The best mastermind I have ever been to. And I've been to a lot of them. The room quality was on another level — every single person was doing real deals.Retreat #1 Operator8-figure portfolio · 12+ years in land
You guys severely underpriced this experience. It changed the trajectory of my life. I walked in stuck at 3 deals a month and left with the systems to do 10.Retreat #1 OperatorSeller-finance specialist · Southeast markets
I thought this was going to be a typical mastermind — a lot of talking and not a lot of substance. I've never experienced anything quite like this. The hotseats alone were worth 10x the ticket.Retreat #1 OperatorSubdivide operator · 40+ lots/year
One conversation at the bonfire saved me 6 months and connected me with the JV partner I'd been looking for all year. I'm coming back for round two — already applied.Retreat #1 OperatorJV & wholesale · Multi-state
My wife asked me why I came home different. I told her it's hard to stay the same after 72 hours in a room where everyone is operating at a higher level than you.Retreat #1 OperatorPre-development entitlements · TX & FL
I took the AI systems they built live on stage and deployed them Monday morning. Replaced a $55K/yr VA role in 4 hours. The ROI on this event was embarrassing — in a good way.Retreat #1 OperatorAI-first land operation · 6 deals/mo
Every person who waited on Retreat #1 regrets it.
Every person who moved early got a seat.
The pattern is obvious.
The property that made Retreat #1 unforgettable returns for round two.
Private barn venue. Wraparound porch sessions. Bonfire under the October sky.
Fall foliage on 50+ acres of Tennessee countryside.
I've spent $50K+ on masterminds and coaching programs in the last 3 years. This was the first time I sat in a room and thought: every single person here is at my level or above. That never happens.

Move now or watch from the sideline again.
Austin Marvel, Jerry Norton, and AnnMarie Norton return as co-hosts. The remaining speakers are being finalized — same caliber as Retreat #1. Operators who've done it, not people who teach about it. When the full lineup drops, the application window tightens. Move early.

This isn't just about closing more deals. The people in this room are building something that outlasts them. Generational land holdings. Businesses that run without them. Legacies rooted in stewardship, faith, and the conviction that the land we buy, develop, and sell matters beyond the spreadsheet.
Ten Talents Farm isn't a random venue. It's a working example of what happens when an operator builds with purpose. The name isn't accidental. The culture of this room — the reason it felt different from every other mastermind — is because the people in it are building something real, not just profitable.
If that resonates, you're in the right place.

Everyone who waited on Retreat #1 watched from the outside. Everyone who moved early got a seat, a challenge coin, and a trajectory shift they're still building on. Retreat #2 has 33 seats, the same farm, and speakers that will make you wish you'd applied sooner.
The window is open. It won't be for long.
