Overview
SUCCESS Unplugged is an inaugural, small, phone-free retreat for founders and leaders—three days in Arizona’s Sonoran desert with roughly thirty participants and no signal to disappear into. Created in the SUCCESS brand ecosystem, it addresses a modern leadership problem: the tools meant to buy time now eat it, crowding out the deep thinking that built the career.
The room is intentionally small. Evidence cited on the official page (attention research, melatonin/sleep studies, and phone-blocking trials) frames disconnection as a performance intervention—not a wellness cliché.
What they teach
Unplugged experiences emphasize:
- Reclaiming deep thinking without phone interruptions
- Founder/leader mental health and attention restoration
- Presence in a small peer cohort carrying similar pressures
- Distance from devices long enough for craving circuits to settle
Participants arrive having “read the frameworks already”; what they lack is uninterrupted days with peers who understand the load.
Who it's for
- Founders and leaders whose calendars never stop
- High performers noticing attention and mood costs of constant connectivity
- A small inaugural cohort (limited seats by design)
- People ready for a phone-free container—not another content binge
