- You set goals…but do you actually hit them?
- Are you relying on hustle or a strategy you actually trust?
- Are your priorities grounded in strategy or buried in busyness?
- Do you feel confident that the time invested on your business is moving your agency forward?
Day 1
Mindset & Clarity
The first day is dedicated to helping agency owners reset and expand their mindset, removing limiting beliefs that may be holding them back and reinforcing a forward-thinking, intentional approach to business success.
- Inspiring keynote speakers to shift perspective and ignite forward-thinking
- Structured networking opportunities that foster meaningful peer connection
- Interactive breakout discussions designed to challenge assumptions and unlock fresh insights
- Hands-on participation that encourages clarity and personal reflection, not passive listening
- Vision refinement exercises to help attendees clarify where they want to take their agency in 2026
Day 2
2026 Agency Plan
The second day is structured as a hands-on workshop where agency owners will build out their strategic roadmap for 2026. Unlike typical goal-setting exercises where objectives are defined but not revisited, this session will focus on creating a structured framework that can be consistently applied throughout the year.
- Build a clear, customized strategy tailored to your agency’s current stage and future goals
- Work through real business challenges in a guided, collaborative environment
- Refine your 2026 roadmap in real time with direct feedback and expert facilitation

I Get You
Because I Was You
From Agency Owner To $15m Valuation To Coach
Hi, my name is Russel Dubree. I’m a business coach specifically for agencies and I’ll be hosting this event.
The agency owner’s journey is unique—I know because I’ve walked it. At 25, I founded and grew a digital agency to a team of 40 before selling it for an 8-figure valuation. But what matters most wasn’t the exit; it was building a culture where people thrived, earning “Best Place To Work In Dallas” and becoming a registered B Corporation. A business that succeeded in Purpose, People, AND Profit.
I’d be honored to have you join me in Austin, surrounded by a great group of agency leaders. You’ll find the details and application info below, I’m looking forward to meeting you in person.

This workshop is designed for agency leaders across the U.S. and Canada who are ready to make a meaningful investment in their business. It’s ideal for digital agencies with teams of 5 to 25 people, regardless of revenue, who are seeking clarity, strategy, and momentum heading into 2026. Whether you’re a current client or new to the community, you’ll be part of a thoughtful, growth-minded group of peers.
Your registration covers everything you need to fully engage in the retreat experience. That includes a light breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beverages on both days, along with all programming, materials, and hands-on tools to help you build your 2026 plan. You’ll also receive post-event support to keep you on track well after the retreat ends. Travel and hotel accommodations are not included, but we’ll be sharing preferred lodging options near the venue. Pricing is per agency, see details below for those with more than one attendee.
Absolutely. In fact, it’s encouraged! If you have a business partner or key team members who help drive strategy and make big-picture decisions, this retreat is a great opportunity to align your leadership team around a shared plan. You can bring up to 5 additional people from your agency at a rate of $250 per person.
The workshop takes place Monday and Tuesday, November 10–11, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day. We recommend arriving on Sunday, November 9, and departing on Wednesday, November 12 (or taking a late flight out Tuesday night if needed). There will be an optional evening gathering after Day 1 for anyone who wants to connect further.
The retreat will take place at The Sunset Room, a stylish and inspiring venue located in the heart of Downtown Austin. It’s about 20 minutes from the airport and within walking distance of several hotels, restaurants, and entertainment options…making it both convenient and energizing for a focused two-day experience.
This isn’t a one-and-done event. Every attendee will receive 90 days of post-retreat support designed to keep the momentum going. That includes a structured email follow-up sequence, access to a private Slack group for peer support and accountability, and a 1-1 check-in in early 2026.
Absolutely. This retreat is intentionally designed to foster connection, not just content. Day 1 in particular offers multiple opportunities to engage with other agency owners through guided discussions, breakout sessions, and a relaxed evening gathering. That said, all interaction is optional, you’ll have the space to engage at your own pace and comfort level. You’ll leave with not only a plan but also a community of peers to support you along the way.
