Send it here: https://www.robertdavidweeks.com/contact If you’re new here, my name is Robert-David Weeks. I started in business over a decade ago as a DJ. Tried a bunch of different things along the way. Throwing spaghetti against the wall. Built a 500-person social media conference called SMAD-CON that got international attention. From the outside, the event looked like a success. Sold out. Attendees excited for year two. But internally, I made a lot of mistakes. Lied to myself, my team, and the community. Took on tens of thousands of dollars in personal debt instead of bankrupting the company. Had almost no space to share what I was really going through. Just pressure building. A lot of pretending. And feeling isolated. After the event, I emailed every vendor with the subject line: “I fucked up.” Then I spent the next year paying back the debt that was owed. I wanted to rebuild from a foundation of honesty. Not fake hype. It’s taken me seven years to make the decision to host live events again. Seven years of rebuilding my health, my self-trust, And my relationships. I wouldn’t wish this kind of burnout on any entrepreneur. If you’re a high-level entrepreneur who feels like you’re doing it alone If you’re quietly questioning whether you can keep holding it all together If you feel like no one really gets what you’re trying to build or the impact you want to make I’ve been there. And I’ve learned that it’s a lot easier to make real change when you’re surrounded by people who get it. I’m creating events where you can connect with the weird ones. The disruptors. The deep thinkers who want to give back Where big dreams have the space to become reality And burnout is something we make extinct If that hits, you’re in the right place.
