I feel…
Full. Whole. Grateful. Awe. Inspired. Excited. Elevated. Loved. Seen.
Why?
March 12th – 16th I was with some of my favorite humans on the planet during the first LIVE Curiosity Island™ event.


For those that may not be familiar, Curiosity Island™ is an invite-only community that is comprised of many of the podcast guests you hear on the show.
My website is in need of a major update on describing Curiosity Island, but you can check it out here for deets.
Anywho…
I spent ~2 months designing this experience, and it felt like a true masterpiece the way it unfolded.
The only thing attendees were told was:
“Show up and on the agenda is magic.”
Behind the scenes, I was weaving together that involved…
- A private chef cooking in our “Curiosity Mansion” (a $5.5 million dollar home we rented as the venue)
- A twist on secret santa that I called “Secret Mirror”
- An improv class, mini golf, bumper cars, escape rooms
- Weaving together the “superpowers” (we call it the 4% on the island) of attendees into the event
- A surprise visit to a friend’s house that turned her place into essentially a magical Willy Wonka museum
… and SO much more.
It’s essentially the event I’ve always dreamed of having… that didn’t exist… so I created it.
Today’s episode is a FULL breakdown of what happened, and a “peek into my brain” as to how I designed this wild thing.
Enjoy 🙂
