Books & Bourbon: A Night of Influence and Whiskey Discovery

Books and Bourbon: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks
Have you ever noticed what happens right after things start going well? The business picks up. The big client signs. The month finally looks the way you always said it would. Then, out of nowhere, you pick a fight at home, get sick, take on a project you knew you should have passed on, or find some quiet way to bring it all back down to a level that feels familiar.
Gay Hendricks calls that the Upper Limit Problem. Every one of us has an internal thermostat for how much success, love, and freedom we let ourselves have, and most of us trip the switch without ever knowing it. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
That is the book we just opened at Books and Bourbon, and now is the time to jump in. We are only a few pages in, so you are not behind.
Books and Bourbon is not a lecture and it is not a business meeting. It is a relaxed, facilitator-led conversation over one good bottle and one good book, with a room of entrepreneurs, professionals, and readers who like ideas as much as they like good company. We take one chapter at a time, so you never have to finish the whole book to show up and add something to the table.
This book is going to hit close to home for business owners. Hendricks lays out four zones we operate in, and most owners are stuck in the third one: very good at work that pays well and quietly drains them. The Big Leap is about finding the fourth zone, the work only you can do, and having the courage to build your business around it.
Here is what you will get:
A guided, unhurried discussion on one chapter at a time
A pour of the bottle of the evening, [Bottle], with a few tasting notes and the story behind it
Honest conversation with other owners about where you are capping your own success
One question to carry home and act on before we meet again
Bring your copy of the book if you have one. If you do not, come anyway and we will catch you up.
Grab the book, grab a chair, and come find out where your ceiling is. Then let’s talk about how to raise it.
