November 5–6, 2026 · Low Meadows Estate · Mount Holly, NC

The business doesn't need
more of you.
It needs a different you.

Scaling from two or three million to ten million and beyond doesn't ask you to work harder. It asks you to become a visionary-level leader. This two-day intensive does two things: it levels up your leadership, and it sends you home with a plan to solve the most pressing problem in your business.

The Format

Not a conference.
A working room.

There is no back row. Under twenty owners, two days, and everybody in the room is running a company between two and ten million dollars.

01
You're in the chair
Every owner takes a hot seat. You put your actual bottleneck on the table and the room goes to work on it. Not a hypothetical, not a case study — the thing that's been on your desk since last spring.
02
Microbursts
Short, fast sessions where the best company in the room on a given thing gets up and teaches it. Somebody in here has hiring solved. Somebody has renewals solved. You don't need a keynote speaker — you need twenty focused minutes with the owner who actually did it.
03
The Visionary Work
Guided readings, real training, and the high-level conversation you can't have with your team or at your kitchen table. Where the company is going, who you have to become to take it there, and what the job turns into on the other side of five million.

Two days. Under twenty owners. Over fifty million dollars of business in one room. Bring the problem you've been avoiding.

Who This Is For

Read the list.
Be honest.

The room is small and it's by invitation, so it's worth knowing whether it's yours. If four of these six land, it is.

Your revenue tripled. Your calendar didn't.
You have managers, and they still call you first.
You promoted a leader, gave them real authority, and quietly took the job back inside ninety days.
You could name the one problem holding the company back right now — and you could also tell me you haven't had eight uninterrupted hours to solve it.
You're still the smartest person in every meeting, and lately that's stopped feeling like a compliment.
You hit a number you used to dream about, and you're more tired than you've ever been.
That last one has a name. We call it Chronic CEO Fatigue, and it is not a work-ethic problem. It's a job-description problem. Two days won't fix your business — but it will change who's running it.

The Two Days

The shape of it.

Two full days, one dinner, and every owner in the chair at some point. We keep the detailed run of show flexible on purpose — the room tells us where to spend the time.

Thursday
Day One
November 5, 2026
8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
SessionsHot seats, microbursts, and the visionary work. Everybody in the chair at some point.
6:00 – 9:00 PM
DinnerShared with the wider Lawn Care CEO room. The part people tell us about a year later.
Friday
Day Two
November 6, 2026
8:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Sessions + Your PlanContinue the work — and Friday afternoon, your one-page plan gets built while the people who pressure-tested it are still sitting next to you.
What fills those hours
Hot seats — Your bottleneck, the room's full attention.
Microbursts — The best company in the room on a given thing, teaching it.
The visionary work — Guided readings, training, and the high-level conversation.
Your plan — Friday afternoon, on paper, before you leave.
Meals — Lunch both days and Thursday dinner included. Breakfast is on your own.
Before you come — Readings go out the moment you register. You'll want three weeks.
Who's Leading It

Not speakers.
Two coaches, on the floor, the whole time.

Aaron Suttenfield
The Operator
Aaron Suttenfield
Started mowing in 1996 as a college dropout and spent almost twenty years doing it the hard way. Then he cut the business down to fertilization and weed control, automated what was left, and built a $1M+ company he runs in three to four hours a week. He owns RDS in Mount Holly, NC — where this event is being held.
Dan Ralphs
The Leadership Coach
Dan Ralphs
13 years inside one of the best-run companies in America — Inc. 500, one of the twenty best places to work. Now coaches $50M+ in lawn care revenue and reads 40-plus scorecards a month. His job at this event: making sure the plan you build actually fits the team and the culture you want to lead.

Two coaches, under twenty owners, two days. Nobody is presenting at you and nobody is hiding in the back.

The Output

Three things go home with you.

01
The Plan
One page. The most pressing problem in your business, the decision you're making about it, who owns it, and the date it's done by. Built Friday afternoon while the people who pressure-tested it are still sitting next to you.
02
A Different Job Description
An honest read on the three jobs that are actually yours — set the vision, build the team, don't run out of money — and a short list of what you stop doing in January to make room for them.
03
A Room That Knows Your Numbers
You said your commitment out loud, in front of nineteen other owners who understood exactly what it cost you to say it. They're going to ask. That's the point.

This will be the highest-level conversation the lawn care industry has ever had in one room.

Airport
Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) — about 20 minutes out. American Airlines major hub, easy from almost anywhere.
Parking

Doors

Close enough to Charlotte that flying in is easy. Far enough out that nobody's ducking into a hallway to take a call.

Questions

The stuff you're actually wondering.

Because your coach thinks you've hit the point where the constraint is your leadership, not your operations. That's the whole filter. It isn't a reward for revenue.
Yes. Every owner does. If you're not willing to put a real problem on the table, you'll get about a third of what this is worth — and you'll be holding a chair someone else would have used.
Yes. The discussion assumes it, and there is nowhere to hide in a room of twenty. Register early and you'll have three weeks.
Your seat covers you and your #2. We hold it there because twenty owners is already the ceiling on this format, and every extra body makes the room a little less honest.
Our calls are an hour, and you spend the first ten minutes catching me up. This is two days with no catching up, no phone, and nineteen peers who will ask you things I'm too close to your business to ask.
November is your slowest month of the year. If you can't leave for two days in your slowest month, that's not a scheduling problem — it's the exact thing this room exists to fix. Come fix it.
Then this isn't your room this year, and that's not a knock — it's a different job. Your coach will point you to the right one.

Twenty chairs.
One of them has your name on it.

November 5–6, 2026. A private room at Low Meadows Estate. Twenty owners, two coaches, and the problem you've been carrying around since last spring. Bring your numbers and your #2.
