“BBW rocks my soul, boosts my spirit and teaches me high ROI business processes and methods.”
DAVID GOTTFRIED

Founder, U.S. and World Green Building Councils
“The perfect mix of top experts, a down to earth community of thinkers and doers.”

New York Times Bestselling Author, Mating in Captivity
Let's be honest, building a business is intense.
Your to-do list grows faster than you can check things off. Every day brings new challenges, new opportunities, and about 50 decisions that feel like they could make or break everything you’ve built.
You’re constantly choosing between what’s urgent and what’s important. Between working in your business and on your business. Between pushing for growth and preventing burnout.
And while everyone sees the highlight reel of entrepreneurship, few understand the weight of:
Making decisions that affect everyone who depends on you
Staying ahead in a market that moves at lightning speed
Building something meaningful while trying to have a life outside work
Finding people who truly understand what you’re going through
The truth is, you can’t (and shouldn’t) do this alone. The most successful entrepreneurs we know all say the same thing: it’s not just about working harder or smarter – it’s about having the right people in your corner.
"I’m the guy that hates masterminds…I swore them off, not my scene, and didn’t like the vibe & being constantly pitched. I was really resistant to coming here...but this is hands down the best event of any kind that I’ve ever been to. The food, the people, the content…my head is about to explode with all the ideas I have. I’m a convert."
ChRIS KRESSER
Founder & CEO, Chris Kresser LLC
One of the most respected clinicians and educators in the fields of functional medicine and ancestral health
"What Baby Bathwater has done for me is put me in a community of peers. And probably one of my favorite pieces of that is there's no arrogance...No one really talks a lot about their successes, there's no one that's really flashy and yet you know underneath all of this everyone in the group is really impressive...But there's a humble community there."
MAC LACKEY
Founder, ExitDNA
Six multiple 8-figure exits, Angel Investor in 50+ companies, Six years on $3B+ public company board
It’s wrong that entrepreneurs should feel like they have to carry the burden alone.... Constantly fearing that their hard work could collapse without the right support.

“I have been so pleasantly surprised. Not only at the sheer number of women, but at the quality of those women. Every single one that I have met is a badass in her own right. So many people who are amazing at what they do and who are also totally willing to say what they’re not good at — and that is so refreshing.”
JULIIET STARRETT

CEO, San Francisco Crossfit
White Water Rafting World Champion
Co-Founder, Non-Profit StandUpKids
“I had high expectations and they've been blown out of the water… If you’re lucky enough to get asked or invited…give them your money before they figure out you probably shouldn’t be there, because that’s how I feel. So if you have the chance, get the application form done, show up, ask lots of questions, be a good person and things will happen"

Just ask them ‘hey this is where I'm at, I want to do this, how do I do that’ and they'll tell me in like three seconds."

The people, the education, the willingness to share cutting edge knowledge – all with such great kindness and no ego – have resulted in more top line growth for me than any other investment I could make.”

"Best thing I've ever done for my business. Everything you could ever need is in this community!"
JUSTINA SETTLE
Owner, Seattle Commissary Kitchen LLC
"It’s hard to review a service that’s really a community, but this team is straight pro at separating the baby from the bathwater. It’s expensive. It’s vague. It’s full of weird people. And if it’s right for you, none of those things will be a turn-off. Being part of this group has been great for my business and great for me individually. If you know, you know. If not, find out."
ANDY FOSSETT
CEO, GMB Fitness
"Fantastic organization that blends silliness and professionalism in the best of ways. Outstanding well curated events and overall great community."
STEVE NADEL
CEO, Freight Innovation
"This curated community is perfect for high level thinkers, business leaders, and the doers of this world. I am truly grateful for those in the community. There are so many different industries and roles that are represented; and to top it off... the people are so damn interesting, smart, and genuine. Everyone is willing to have an engaging conversation and the potential for growth is limited only by your own involvement. Would most definitely recommend."
JUSTIN SHARPE
Co-Founder/Partner, GrowthInc & 8Loop
"It took ONE post in the online members group to completely change my business and outlook."
KORY BASARABA
Founder, TrafficCraft
"I showed up thinking I would get some business knowledge and I left with a family full of amazing people and my entire life changed after that. From how people are living their lives, and raising their kids, and handling education to the different type of businesses people are running...it's just perfect...the most fun."
MELANIE MERKILING
Founder & CEO, Tightrope Ventures
“The reality is, no one knows what the f*ck Baby Bathwater is. And I like it that way…”
HUGH REES

"It's really hard to be an entrepreneur and business owner because it's a very lonely situation... Having people who know how to help you get through it...it's invaluable. These are people that I will be friends with for the rest of my life."
JENNY THOMPSON
President, On 3rd Consulting
"This is the one group that 5-6 years later, we're still in. I've made lifelong friends. Friends that are super close to me that I wouldn't have met if it weren't for Baby Bathwater."
