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

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

“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.”

Juliet Starret

“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"

“It’s the most direct way to get where I want to go… I can keep going to these traditional conferences and try to learn specific stuff, OR I can just go directly to Baby Bathwater and be with people that have done what I want to do and connect with them and learn directly from them. 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.”
