Next Mountain Base Camp · Now Enrolling
No one summits without base camp.
One 90-minute session a month where founders and executives get clear on what actually changed in AI — and what to do about it on Monday. Live coaching on your real situations, with peers carrying the same weight. $100/month for the first 25 founding members — locked for life.
Last Thursday of every month · 11am ET · 90 min · Live on Zoom · Starts July 30, 2026.
New here? Start with the free Readiness Assessment or a weekly Compass Session.
Every Base Camp session opens with the same question: “A competitor leveraged AI better than you and put you out of business. What does your tombstone say?”
Then we spend the next 90 minutes making sure it stays fiction. That’s what base camp is for. You study the mountain, check the conditions, and plan the route before the climb costs you something.
What a session looks like.
The Briefing
30 minutes from Jason: what actually changed in AI this month and what it means for your organization. Industry-specific.
The Breakouts
Small-group work on 2–3 discussion questions with peers carrying the same weight.
Live Coaching
Jeff and Jason coach real situations from the room, live.
Includes the weekly written Next Mountain Briefing — the same intelligence, in your inbox every week.
Two tracks: one for founders and executives, one for publishers — so the briefing examples and breakout questions fit the world you actually operate in.
Who’s leading the room.
Two coaches who have spent their careers helping leaders make hard calls — now focused on the one AI is forcing.
Jeff Caliguire
Co-Founder
Twenty-five years coaching CEOs, founders, and ministry leaders through the moments that decide everything. Founder of The Leader Coach and We Train Coaches; author of The Habits of Hope and The Convergence.
Jason Malec
Co-Founder
Most recently led AI licensing at Gloo, building the partnerships that brought generative AI into hundreds of organizations. Founder of IDE8.org. Thirty years of strategy work across tech and mission-driven teams — he can tell you what’s real, what’s hype, and what to do about it.
You should walk out of the first session able to say something most leaders can’t: you’ve read about AI for months — and now you know exactly what to do on Monday morning.
