Join Us At Martha's Vineyard!

For the past two years, I have been fortunate to join family, friends, and colleagues for a week in August on the Vineyard celebrating culture, generational inheritance, wealth creation, and community.?

Last year marked BrainTrust Founders Studio’s first year on the Vineyard hosting our Founders House, commerce meets content pop-up experience. Our theme, “Creating and Cultivating Generational Inheritance: Continuing The Wealth Cycle,” paid homage to the Vineyard’s rich history.??
