The COLAB 2024 Retreat at Grandfather Mountain brought together forward-thinking business owners and leaders committed to leading themselves, their families, and their businesses with intention and impact. The weekend combined the best elements of slowing down and adventuring outdoors—enjoying great meals together, engaging in meaningful dialogue around a fire, intense mountain-side pickle ball, and hiking beautiful trails. This intentional time away fostered deep connections, rich conversations, and valuable takeaways, reminding everyone of the importance of presence, community, and a life well spent.
