A room, on purpose.
Once.
NXT Retreats is a series of singular experiences - each one built from scratch, hosted once, and never repeated. We call them One-Offs. No franchise. No recurring calendar slot. When a NXT ends, it ends.
These are once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The kind you'll still be talking about years later. The weekend that changed how you run your business, told and retold, long after the room emptied out.
Each retreat is carefully curated and deliberately small - because transformation happens in rooms where nobody's a stranger by the second night. NXT exists for founders and operators who don't need another conference. They need a room.
Every One-Off is different by design.
Medellín - Stillness.
A private estate in the hills. Chef-prepared meals. Long conversations that started at golden hour and ended past midnight. Luxury, quiet, and strategy. A recalibration.
The AI Garage - Momentum.
An industrial loft in Chicago wired end to end. Two build days, a wall of monitors, unlimited flowing coffee, and surprise contests along the way. You arrive with a problem and leave with a shipped tool.
Two shown here, with more on the way. Different worlds, same ethos: carefully curated, small-group, transformational - and each retreat a singular One-Off in an open-ended series.
The room is run by two people, on purpose.
Matt has spent two decades building, buying, and scaling small businesses - and the last three years teaching founders to put AI to work inside them. He'll be in the room, at your table, helping you scope down and ship.
Amy runs the human side of every NXT - the food, the flow, the small details that make a room click. If the loft feels like a home for four days, it's because Amy built it that way.
A Mentor Pods experience.
NXT is a Mentor Pods brand, founded by Matt Radicelli. Mentor Pods is the parent studio for a growing family of small-room, high-leverage experiences for founders and operators. NXT is the retreat arm - the room that leaves the room.
