Today’s episode is a first: I’m recording this while riding my exercise bike (training for Nepal waits for no one!).

I wanted to share what’s happening in real time with Con Con. At this stage, it’s still a fictional event—but I’ve set up a 12-hour experiment to see if it should actually exist.

Here’s the deal:

• I’ve locked the event at 50 spots only.
• I’m putting “Bold Action” tickets on sale for 12 hours.
• If 15 people sign up, Con Con is on.
• If 14 or less, I refund everyone the next day.

It’s kind of like an election-night style launch: I’ll be going live on LinkedIn Thursday night at 8pm to share the results.

In this episode, I talk through:

🎟 Why I’m rewarding people who make bold, fast decisions

🎟 How I set up the waitlist and survey

🎟 Why I’m deliberately not over-marketing this

🎟 What it feels like to launch something in real time without being attached to the outcome

It could be a sell-out. It could be a flop. Either way, I’ll share what happens.
