The Way You’ve Been Told to Grow Your Business Is Dead. Here’s What Will Replace It in 2026
JANUARY 8-9, 2026 | San Diego, CA
"It’s not how many followers you have, it’s how many leaders you can create." - Yanik Silver | Founder of Maverick 1,000
“We no longer have to work in silos — today we’re creating communities that aggregate, accelerate, and compound outcomes through infinite opportunities, while still being protected, promoted, loved, and perfected by our Source.”
- David Melzer | Chairman of Napoleon Hill Institute
The Billion Dollar Impact Project
Global Launch in San Diego
THE FUTURE OF LEADERSHIP STARTS HERE
Because in 2026, Leadership Is the Way You Grow Your Business.
The old way of scaling — through isolated strategies, rigid hierarchies, and one-way communication — is over.
The new era of growth is built on collaboration, transparency, and real-time connection across leaders, partners and communities.
This experience will show you how to lead it.
THIS ISN'T JUST ANOTHER EVENT
It’s a transformational experience for CEOs, founders, creators, and changemakers ready to grow differently.
You’ll hear from visionary leaders reshaping business, leadership, and impact — and experience the shared-revenue model helping entrepreneurs and organizations grow their profits while raising one billion dollars for global impact.
Where profit meets purpose, collaboration replaces competition, and leadership becomes the strategy.
Be part of what’s next.
BE IN THE ROOM WHERE CHANGE HAPPENS

WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS MOVEMENT
"The Billion Dollar Impact opportunity is so aligned — I call it the little sister of my mission to empower over a billion people to be happy"
-David Meltzer, Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, Co-Founder of Sports 1 Marketing, Best-Selling Author, and Top Business Coach
The old game was zero-sum competition. The new game is win-win-win-win-win — a win for every person, organization, and the planet itself.”
- Yanik Silver, Founder of Maverick1000, Author of Evolved Enterprise, and a leading voice for entrepreneurs using business as a force for good
“The old way of doing business is dead — where we hustle alone, compete in silence, and stay invisible. The new way is collaboration, transparency, and transformational leadership"
Stacey Lauren, Founder of the Billion Dollar Impact Project and Creator of the Do The Thing™ Movement
True leadership today means being visible, being vulnerable, and being willing to go first so others can follow.”
Billion Dollar Impact Marketplace: The Auction Model
The Billion Dollar Impact Marketplace is a new way to do business and give back at the same time.
This groundbreaking model transforms traditional fundraising into a dynamic experience where entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and changemakers come together to make money and raise money simultaneously — while connecting their companies to a bigger mission, purpose, and cause.
During the live auction, entrepreneurs showcase their offers — products, services, or experiences — in partnership with meaningful causes. Every bid creates a ripple of impact, generating revenue for both the creator and the charity they support.
This is more than an auction — it’s a movement.
A modern marketplace where business fuels impact, generosity builds community, and purpose drives growth.

DO THE THING EVENTS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the date & location for The Billion Dollar Impact Project - San Diego Launch?
1845 Strand Way, Coronado, CA 92118
Do I have to attend both days?
We highly recommend attending both days for the full experience. Each speaker, facilitator, and session has been intentionally curated in an arc — designed to create powerful momentum and expansion from start to finish.
You’ll get the most transformation, connection, and opportunity when you’re part of the entire journey.
Will I get the chance to pitch my offer during the event?
Yes! Select participants will have the opportunity to present their offers live during the Billion Dollar Impact Marketplace Auction. Every offer submitted is added to the marketplace wheel, and a few will be randomly selected to be featured on stage. It’s a powerful way to gain visibility, attract collaborators, and make an impact while giving back to a cause.
What makes this event different from a typical business or fundraising conference?
This isn’t another “sit-and-take-notes” event — it’s an interactive marketplace experience where entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and leaders collaborate in real time to make money and raise money. You’ll learn, connect, and take action inside a live ecosystem of generosity and growth.
Who should attend?
Entrepreneurs, CEOs, nonprofit founders, executives, investors, and creators who want to grow their business or mission while contributing to something bigger than themselves.
What kinds of offers can I submit?
Anything that creates transformation or joy — from coaching, consulting, and retreats to experiences, memberships, or products. The key is that it represents your expertise, passion, or business in a way that supports both you and a cause.
How does the revenue split work?
The Billion Dollar Impact Marketplace follows a 40/40/20 model:
40% goes to the nonprofit or cause,
40% to the offer owner,
20% supports facilitation and operations — fueling the sustainability of the movement.
Is there a virtual option?
Not at this time. This experience has been intentionally designed as an in-person event to foster the deep connection, collaboration, and energy that can only happen in the room.
Can I get a table to invite the leaders in my organization or community?
Yes! We welcome aligned sponsors who want to be part of this movement. You can email our Director of Sponsorshipsfor details on partnership opportunities and visibility options.
