Keeping it real


👋 I’m Justin. I run The LA Grind and The SF Grind, host the Ambition Podcast, and scout for Headline.
It's Friday afternoon.
I'm hosting poker for the LA Grind Club at my place in a couple of hours.
The Ambition Summit is next week. I'm super excited for it, but honestly, I'm tired.
Here's what I'm actually doing right now instead of resting: trying to close one last sponsor and selling the last few tickets.
That's it. That's the whole update.
The sponsor: Legacy Builder. Clifton Sellers' shop, Inc 5000, 400+ execs.
They build personal brands for CEOs on LinkedIn and X, daily content and video in your voice, live in under two weeks.
I've been in his DMs for three days trying to get him as the last sponsor for the Ambition Summit because I think his company is the perfect match for this audience.
If you're a founder who's been meaning to do this, reply "intro" and I'll connect you. Genuinely, it'd help me close him.
The tickets. I’m super happy with the guest list we have so far, but we still have a few left tickets left for the Ambition Summit.
We’ve got a great group of founders, investors, and operators joining us, there will be ~150 in total and we’ve already sold more than 100 tickets.
DLA Piper and Citizens Private Bank are our headline sponsors, we have a VIP dinner the night before, and it’s going to be a helluva time.
If you haven’t gotten your ticket yet, or you have and think a friend should come, you can signup at the link below.
Alright, I gotta go setup for poker now.
Have a great weekend! I’ll see a few of you very soon 🙂
Best,
Justin
