"Takes the clichè 'Work Hard... Play Hard!' to a whole new level...
What we found here is a group of like-minded individuals. We're not all in the same business; we're not doing the same things and that's part of the beauty of it. But everybody is here to work hard and play hard, so you get a very intense group of guys. You don't get to meet a guy like that in an evening or over a round of golf...the relationships you build here are fantastic. The 'Ah-Ha' moments...were great, but these are guys I'm going to be talking to and relating to for weeks and years to come."
- Mike Lally, PCB Group (Manufacturing business)
"This has been absolutely a top ten experience in my life. It's been transformational and inspiring. I've been working really hard for the last five years putting my own passions and interests on the back-burner to take care of my family and raise my kids and run my business... If you are having any doubts about whether you should come or not, just for the fun alone it was tremendous. But way more valuable than the fun were the connections and the camaraderie. I would be shocked if I didn't generate at least a million dollars in the next 12 months from the ideas and tactics that I learned from other people for my own business as well as from the new relationships and partnerships that I am going to pursue after this event. It has been life-changing and awesome."- Drew Kossoff, CA (Media Business)
"... The total that I got from meeting just 2 guys on these trips was worth $283,000 to me. So I think I'm paid from Maverick until the year 2416!" - Mike Filsaime, NY (Online Business)
"... putting a deal together and made over $7,000,000 in sales in a month. That just doesn't happen every day."- Brad Fallon, Atlanta, GA, (eCommerce business)
HALO Skydive from 30,000 feet
HALO Skydive at 30,000 feet
(The Cruising Altitude of a Commercial Jet)
Activity: Skydive 28,500 – 30,000 feet (the cruising altitude of a jet airplane)
Less than 100 civilians have ever done this (and mavericks account for 12 of those)! Prepare for the ultimate skydive adventure – a military-style, High Altitude, Low Open parachute jump. HALO was originally designed during the 60’s as a military maneuver to insert troops behind enemy lines undetected. Because you would jump from 30,000 feet (the cruising altitude of a commercial jet) so on radar everything looks normal.
The temperature up at 30,000 feet is about 25 degrees below zero and you have to wear a full oxygen mask for two very important reasons.
- Because at that altitude you’ll remain conscious about 30 seconds
without oxygen. - You need to pre-breathe pure oxygen for about 40 minutes to purge all
the nitrogen out of your system to avoid getting the ‘bends’.
No skydiving experience is necessary because you’ll be doing a tandem skydive with an experienced ex-military special forces jumpmaster. Then you’ll get to experience the ultimate freefall of 2+ minutes (double any other skydive).
Mavericks suited up and wondering when the flight attendants will be coming by
I’m not sure anything can really prepare you for 2+ minutes of freefall. (That’s at least twice any other sky dive.) And after kissing the ground on your safe return – we’ll celebrate in Memphis starting with…
Memphis BBQ Dinner
Memphis is the known for the blues & BBQ – and you’ll experience both. Ducking down a back alley, you’ll find Charlie Vergos’ Rendezvous. This basement barbecue joint might be the most iconic establishment in Memphis after Graceland and it’s home to Memphis dry rib.
Since he first opened the doors in 1948, Charlie Vergos’ Rendezvous has attracted a long list of high-profile guests including Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, former Vice President Al Gore, and entertainers such as Bill Cosby, Justin Timberlake and Mick Jagger. Everybody who’s anybody has been here for a bite. It’s been consistently voted as “Best of Memphis” for 12 years running and you won’t be disappointed. Now, please don’t expect a 5-star white glove establishment, the ‘Vous isn’t that.
After getting your fill, you’re free to retire to your room or join us for an optional VIP night hopping around at Memphis’ hottest nightclubs and live music joints!
