In 2008, with no event production experience and two college degrees between the four of them, Elliott Bisnow, Jeff Rosenthal, Brett Leve, and Jeremy Schwartz became business partners and set out on a mission to build a global events company. With passion and tenacity, they began cold calling as many inspiring company founders as they could and tried to convince them to attend their first event. In the beginning, only nineteen people said yes. Since then, they have grown Summit into a global community with events all over the world, hosting luminaries including Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, Shonda Rhimes, Brené Brown, and Al Gore. And in 2013, the Summit founders acquired the largest ski resort in the United States, Powder Mountain, where they are building a mountaintop town of the future. In Make No Small Plans, they reveal the cornerstone lessons from their journey, which began during The Great Recession and has faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Alongside teachings from some of the most inspiring entrepreneurs of our time, the authors offer takeaways such as: No Idea Should Go Unspoken Don't Worry About Making Mistakes When You're Making History Reputations Are Earned by the Drop and Lost by the Bucket When You Have the Opportunity, It's Always the Right Time Become a Favour-Economy Billionaire Entertaining and empowering, Make No Small Plans shows that anyone can think big and-with a thirst for knowledge, a talented team, and a little humility-accomplish the impossible.
