[00:00] This episode is brought to you by your interim CMOs, Latin & Code. [00:42] This interview episode is sponsored by The Agency Guy. Don’t get overwhelmed, check out TAG. [01:09] Today, we’re chatting with Daniel Levine and Steven Pulver, creators of The Fireside Conference. [01:32] Why Daniel and Steven are Creative Hustlers. [02:38] Daniel and Steven are actually lawyers. [03:27] Fireside Conference takes over a summer camp once a year. [04:05] Steve has a background in camping as well as marketing and entrepreneurship. [04:38] They focus on the power of disconnecting. [05:37] Living at the intersection of creativity and business with camping and business. [06:20] How & how long should you disconnect for? [07:10] How disconnecting became important for Daniel and Steven. [08:10] There’s no cell phone reception up at the camp. [09:42] People want to come to Fireside because their phone is going to be useless for them. [10:40] We put this disconnecting weekend together, but it’s difficult to do in everyday life. [11:23] Start with a few hours disconnected once a day. Daniel and Steven do it in the morning. [12:52] When you’re sitting around a campfire, you don’t need a nametag. [13:50] Fireside Conference is invite only, how did that start? [15:38] How do you maintain a great community, while also growing? [16:03] Anyone can apply for an invite, but they mainly rely on word of mouth and alumni connections. [17:36] Daniel & Steven rely on the alumni to find good fits for the community. [18:55] Who is the perfect Fireside attendee and why? [21:21] What does Fireside look like in 2020? [22:30] The concept of Serendipity. [23:25] What does a typical day at Fireside look like? And how are the days structured? [26:07] What’s the feedback from the alumni of Fireside Conference? [29:57] They get the type of interaction because they don’t publish a list of speakers like most conferences. [30:34] The conference Daniel & Steven were at that made them realize they hated that type. [32:19] They ask, what do you need to be better at? And there are a ton of different struggles. [34:20] Steven & Melissa heading to Fireside?? [34:38] What person in history would you like to have attend Fireside Conference?
