“I’m the guy that hates masterminds…I swore them off as not my scene, and didn’t like the vibe & being constantly pitched. I was really resistant to coming here…but this is hands down the best event of any kind that I’ve ever been to. The food, the people, the content…my head is about to explode with all the ideas I have. I’m a convert.”
“I was worried before I came to this conference that it would be a bro-fest, but I have been so pleasantly surprised. Not only at the sheer number of women, but at the quality of those women. Every single one that I have met is a badass in her own right. So many people who are amazing at what they do and who are also totally willing to say what they’re not good at – & that is so refreshing.”
YOUR PORTAL TO NEXT LEVEL GROWTH
Our flagship events are a chance to break out of your shell, supercharge your network, hit that pressure release valve, and return home recharged with some actionable takeaways from 18+ content sessions and countless life-altering convos. There will be ~100 guests at this Boulder Flagship, including both Members and newcomers.
You’ll be surrounded by:
“It’s the most direct way to get where I want to go. I can keep going to these traditional conferences and try to learn specific stuff or I can just go directly to Baby Bathwater and be with people that have done what I want to do and connect with them and learn directly from them. Just ask them ‘hey this is where I’m at, I want to do this, how do I do that’ and they’ll tell me in like three seconds.”
“I had high expectations and they’ve been blown out of the water. If you’re lucky enough to get asked or invited…give them your money before they figure out you probably shouldn’t be there, because that’s how I feel. So if you have the chance, get the application form done, show up, ask lots of questions, be a good person and things will happen.
“Never could I have ever imagined that doing business with people could be THIS fun. Yes, you’ll get tremendous value professionally, but the people you meet – that’s the gold.”
A glimpse into the peer group you will meet – real folks on their own version of a similar path.

“I’ve been in business for over three decades and started six organizations in health and sustainability. We’ve run dozens of events and I’ve participated in hundreds, including some very high end masterminds. I must say that my experience with Baby Bathwater stands at the top: not only do I love the other members, the hosts, the venues and the food, but it rocks my soul, boosts my spirit and teaches me high ROI business processes and methods.”
“It is like nothing I have ever attended or been a part of. An amazing life changing experience. There were over 100 entrepreneurs who gathered to share, learn, have fun and engage. The BBW Crew provided the best food, drink, music and venue. I am so thankful for the friends I met and the knowledge I gained. It is truly special.”
“As an entrepreneur it’s tough to find your tribe. I feel strongly this whole community espouses my beliefs around entrepreneurship, creating value, authentic convos…it’s a catch-all for me. When it comes to pushing the edge inside of your industry it can be difficult to find people that want to pioneer and develop new concepts…at bbw this is what happens.”
“I could not have imagined how amazing an event could be, and this event far exceeded all of my expectations. The food was amazing, the staff and service were impeccable, the location was gorgeous and everyone was so kind and welcoming! Thank you SO much for welcoming me in with open arms. I truly had a blast!”
“This is the only event I come to on a regular basis. They curate a phenomenal group, and the fact that not everyone is invited back each time is telling. Each time it’s a better and better group. I’ve been proud and happy to be a part of this.”
“Baby Bathwater, unlike other conferences. It isn’t cheesy. It’s real. It’s straight up. It is what it is. That’s at a very high level and everybody here operates at a high level and BS is sniffed out from miles away.”
“This was the best mastermind event I’ve ever been to. The content was great and the people were top notch. This will serve as a model for how conscious business is conducted in the future. All the elements were there to make it an amazing experience.”
There are zero invisible dividing lines at Baby Bathwater happenings. Everyone here is personally invited. Everyone pays to attend. And everyone shares incredible value.
Hang out, ask questions, and have a drink with your fellow attendees (drinks are on us).
We have generous content providers who are here to learn as much as they are here to teach. Who knows — we just might call on you to be on a panel or share your content after you successfully interview with us.
You’ll leave this event armed with an arsenal of ideas and action steps proven to be effective in the real world.
Cheers to making new connections that last a lifetime…
“BBW was easily the best mastermind and networking event that we have ever attended. The fact that everyone in attendance was so heavily vetted and verified by the BBW curators made the event far more productive and enjoyable. We didn’t have to worry about anyone trying to sell us on something, or waste our time with self-serving agendas. The collective brain power and creativity of the attendees allowed us to learn some great things,…
“It’s gold wrapped in gold, wrapped in humor, wrapped in gold. This is so fun and so valuable.”
“Full of dangerous animals who are at the top of their game. Intimidating at times, profoundly helpful, and refreshingly weird. I came away from the last member’s event with a simple tactic that boosted our monthly revenue and transformed the experience of our users. Not bad for a whiskey fueled weekend!”
“Paleovalley has nearly quintupled in revenue since the first BBW I attended. Most of that is directly related to the relationships I made there.”
“Check this out if you seek experiences that are the highest quality on every level: People, location, hotel, event staff, content, food, drinks. They think of everything and then some. I just experienced the highest concentration of people who love life as much as I do.”
“We can’t afford NOT to be a part of it. We’ve never been part of a business community where people go out of their way to help for no reason at all…and our business has skyrocketed as a result of this group. Key hires, marketing, partnerships, brand vision…it’s an invaluable wealth of knowledge and support.”
“You literally have a direct line to figuring out exactly the steps you need to take to reach the goals that you’re trying to create in your business.”
