Fireside - #🔥 An off-grid retreat for founders, investors, and startups

Fireside is a captivating experience for humans. It is so starkly contrasted with ordinary conferences that I feel it's unfair to even call Fireside a conference, because it offers so much more. While they serve their purpose (and not to knock them), ordinary conferences: - are generally big-building affairs, organized by professionals, catering to a mass-market budget and process - offer the fast-food equivalent of a meet-and-greet, sit-and-listen, with the cordial business card exchanges, and draining afternoons staring at mobile phones under the table - capture 1% of the environment needed for what the human brain needs to optimally engage higher level social and cognitive functions Set in a camp in the beautiful wilderness of Canada, almost outside cell phone range, Fireside has 100% of the environment needed for a human brain to be energized and engaged, opening that rare opportunity in our modern society to truly expand the mind and learn what it is to be human — to engage in meaningful interpersonal relationships, to discover who you are with a glimpse of what matters in life. I recommend it.

@daniellevine @stevepulver Considering Bermuda is only a 3 hour flight from Toronto would you ever consider doing one here? Renting an island is surprisingly affordable.
