Watch the sizzle
The expedition
Epic 6 days, 5 nights business mastermind backcountry camping adventure — mixin’ business and pleasure, hiking in and out 10+ miles to basecamp.
15 high-performing male entrepreneurs making 6 (minimum), 7, and 8 figures annually who all pass the “beer test” and are looking to connect with other badass entrepreneurs through this unique wilderness experience.
Montana backcountry wilderness at a classified location.
Fly in & out of Bozeman Int’l Airport
Four cohorts run across summer 2026. Each is capped at 15 seats.
From the feed
The same clips running across the feed — shot in the backcountry, no stock, no filler. Tap one to watch, then come see it in person.
Here is the itinerary
Three days in nature is enough to rewire how you think. Watch the arc, day by day, as the noise gives way to quiet — and the version of you that hikes out a completely transformed man.
30 days before
A group video call 30 days out: meet the men heading into the wilderness with you, get every logistical detail dialed in, and set your intentions for the trip. You're added to the cohort's private WhatsApp group, so the connection starts long before you land in Bozeman.
Fly into Bozeman International. Airport pickup, gear check and a safety briefing, then overnight near the trailhead with a welcome cookout before the big push into the backcountry. The noise of the outside world starts to drop away.
Trek 10+ miles into U.S. National Forest backcountry — 3,000+ ft of elevation gain — to a classified basecamp. Set up camp, then gather for the first mastermind hotseat around the fire. Phones, laptops, and cell service stay behind.
A full day off-grid: business mastermind hotseats, fly fishing on alpine water, primitive survival skills, archery, breathwork, and primal workouts. Three days in nature is enough to rewire your brain — clarity and answers arrive once the noise gives way to quiet.
A second full day deep in the backcountry: a sunrise summit push for 360° views, another round of mastermind hotseats around the fire, cold plunges in an alpine creek, and hard-won skills sessions with the survival experts. Another day off the grid means the breakthroughs keep landing and the brotherhood only deepens.
Morning hike back to the trailhead, then celebrate at a local brewery and soak in natural hot springs. Overnight at Bozeman Hot Springs Campground as the bonds forged in the wild settle into a brotherhood that outlasts the trip.
Morning soak, breakfast, and goodbyes in Bozeman. You hike out a different entrepreneur than the one who flew in. Airport drop-off after 10 AM MT — and the brotherhood continues in the Happy Hustle Club private chat, for life.
30 days after
A follow-up call 30 days later to make sure you actually accomplish the number-one personal action you committed to in the wilderness — backed by real $1,000 accountability. If you don't hit the goal you set for yourself, you forfeit the $1,000 to the pot, which gets split among the men who did do what they said they would.
David Strayer, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Utah, coined the term The 3-Day Effect — measurable reductions in prefrontal cortex activity after 72 hours unplugged in nature. We give you five nights and six days.
boost in creative problem-solving
after several days immersed in nature, fully unplugged from devices.
Strayer & Atchley, 2012 · PLOS ONE
After dark
Phones, laptops, and cell service stay behind. When the fire dies down it’s just canvas, a sky full of stars, and the kind of quiet you forgot existed.
