I'm going to be honest about something.
Brigadoon Professional is not for everyone.
I don't say that as a marketing device. I say it because the whole thing depends on who's in the room, and the room only works if the people in it are genuinely there for the right reasons.
So let me describe who it's for.
It's for the professional who has stopped finding the standard conference circuit useful — not because they've stopped being curious, but because their curiosity has outgrown it. The person who reads differently than most people in their field. Who finds themselves in conversations at dinner that are more interesting than anything happening on stage.
It's for the founder who understands that the most valuable intelligence they'll ever access doesn't come from a pitch deck or a panel discussion. It comes from a conversation with someone who has no reason to tell them anything other than the truth.
It's for the person who travels — who has sat in rooms in different countries and different industries and noticed that the most interesting things happen at the margins, in the unstructured moments, when people drop the performance.
It's not for the person who wants a credential to put in their bio. It's not for the person who needs a conference badge to justify the trip. It's not for the person who measures professional development by the number of sessions attended.
My work at Caracal Global has taken me across four continents, analyzing how power, commerce, and culture intersect in ways most people don't see coming. What I've learned — from boardrooms to art exhibits to political transitions — is that the most useful thinking happens between people who trust each other enough to say what they actually think.
Brigadoon is my attempt to build that trust deliberately and repeatedly. Brigadoon Professional is my attempt to extend it across twelve months, not just a weekend.
Four tiers. Biweekly analysis. Expert calls. Curated books. Guaranteed seats at the gatherings — Utah in February, Scotland in November, Salon Dinners in the cities.
Founding member pricing is locked for two years for participants who sign by March 31, 2026.
After that, the offer is what it is.
Small gatherings. Radical curiosity. No PowerPoint slides. An unknown ROI.
If that sounds like your kind of room, it probably is.
