🌅 Day two started with a sunrise.

A group of about 20 early birds woke up early for a sunrise excursion to Red Rock Amphitheater. A beautiful way to begin the day before diving back into inspiring talks at the 2026 AWBC Leadership Conference in Denver.

We closed the day with a presentation on the book Champagne CEO, and even more meaningful connections made along the way.

Grateful for days like this one. 💙
