this event will get you back 20+ hours per week
What Would You Do With 20 Hours Back Every Week This Summer... and Forever, Going Forward?
Right now, you don't get to choose.
The business is choosing for you.
You're in it, not on it. Reacting, not leading.
You already know what needs to change.
The sales process that runs through you.
The crew that can't function without you on-site.
The margins you're guessing at. The leads that dry up when you stop chasing.
The random use of AI, that causes more issues than it solves.
This isn't a knowledge problem.
You need two days to actually do something about it, before the season hits, not after.
let's See what breaks
Taking two days away right before busy season sounds crazy.
It's also the only thing that makes this summer different from every summer before it.
Imagine, stepping away from your business in the Spring as business begins to ramp up, only to find out your system(s), or your team or your leadership has issues.
Identifying problems now will save you time, prevent future headaches, and protect your profit heading into summer.
We've hosted two in-person events. Businesses were transformed.
The #1 reason people didn't come: getting away felt impossible.
So we built this for you.
Same peer energy, live coaching, hot seats, and breakthroughs... no flights, no hotels, no nights away from your family.

BRANDON VAUGHN
LEVEL UP Presentation Theme:
“Scaling Smarter: Using AI to Recruit A-Players and Build a High-Performance Trades Business”
Brandon is at the forefront for A.I. application. He will break down how trades business owners can leverage AI to streamline operations, attract top-tier talent, and make better, faster decisions. He’ll also share proven strategies for recruiting and retaining A-players, building systems that scale, and turning growth into something predictable and repeatable.
BRANDON'S BIO
Brandon is an award-winning entrepreneur and scaling expert who built his first service business under extraordinary circumstances. After his father was diagnosed with a serious illness and could no longer operate the company, Brandon stepped in and purchased the business with a commitment to support his parents and keep it alive.
In under six seasons, he grew the business from $8K/month to over $450K/month and expanded the team to 70+ employees. In 2017, he was named SBA Small Business Person of the Year for Oregon.
Brandon has since launched and scaled multiple service businesses, including a painting company he grew from $0 to $100K/month in just four months, and from 0 to 8 locations within a year.
He is the founder of CONQUER®, where he helps thousands of small business owners systemize and scale. His programs, led by experienced CEOs and operators, have delivered an average of 77% year-over-year growth for participants.
Currently, he is the founder of HireBus a recruiting platform and service for trades businesses across the U.S.
What If This Summer Actually Felt Different?
Picture it: peak season, phones ringing, crews running and you're not the one holding it all together by sheer willpower.
Your sales rep is closing jobs without you. Your crews are running production without babysitting. Your leads are coming in without you chasing them. Your bank account reflects what the season actually was.
Not chaos with a paycheck. A real, profitable, scalable business.
That's not a fantasy. That's what happens when you install the right leadership and business systems in the right order before busy season starts.
This Isn't a Motivation Event.
It's a Business Installation.
We hand you a clear execution plan.
You don't leave inspired and overwhelmed. You leave ready.

The Owners Who Will Have Their Best Summer Ever, Are Already Registered
The ones who move fastest on this are always the ones who grow fastest after it.
They're not the ones who waited until they felt ready. They're not the ones who said "maybe next time."
They're the ones who looked at where their business was — and decided it was time to change it.
Busy season is coming whether you're ready or not.
The only question is: will you enter it with a plan?
Don't wait — time is running out
