Guild & Build Retreat
One week. Austin, May 2026. Everything included.
By the end, you will say we saved you five years β
or we give you your money back.
AI just compressed
five years into five days.
We're going to prove it.
The tools are real. The systems exist. Most people spend years figuring out how to wire it all together β testing alone, between everything else life demands, never quite getting to the thing they said they'd build.
This is not that. One week. One private compound. Twelve serious people. Every friction point removed β lodging, food, recovery, access. Nathaniel and his network on-site, building alongside you in real time.
By the end of the week, you won't be talking about what you're going to build. You'll have already built it.

The most productive, most fun,
most fulfilling week of your life.
Austin was not
an accident.
The Colorado River. The cedar and live oak. A city that still has room to breathe β where the culture runs deep, the energy is real, and the pace of life doesn't fight you. Austin rewards people who move with intention.
"The river is there every morning.
So is the work β and so is the life.
For one week, they are the same thing."
You won't want to leave.
That's the point.
This isn't a hotel conference room. It's a private compound built for exactly this kind of immersive experience β production studio, community center, pool, sauna, cold plunge, volleyball court, massage, and food that actually performs. The environment is part of the program.
Built around one man.
Then he brought friends.
Nathaniel Solace is the reason this exists. Fifteen years of building online, running agencies, and living at the frontier of what's actually possible β now distilled into one week. Then he called in some of the most interesting humans he knows.
Fifteen years of building online. Agencies, products, content systems, client pipelines β Nathaniel has lived through every era of what it means to operate on the internet, and he's been at the frontier of each one. He built GATO because the tools he needed didn't exist. Now GATO runs the back-end of everything he does, and the Guild & Build is his thesis made tangible: that this new paradigm of AI-assisted creation and operation compresses what used to take five years into a single focused sprint. He doesn't present from a stage. He builds alongside you, holds the room to an uncommon standard, and has the receipts to back every word of it.
CMO of COTI β a leading crypto privacy tech company β and one of the more unusual minds Nathaniel is bringing into the room. Amateo Kaplan has lived at the intersection of finance, tech, and crypto for years, building and marketing at the frontier of what money, privacy, and decentralized infrastructure actually mean. He also goes by Amateo Ra: a transformational speaker and conscious educator who has worked with thousands of people on the invisible architecture that limits output. Most people keep those two worlds separate. Amateo doesn't. He brings the inner game and the outer build simultaneously β and his thesis, like Nathaniel's, is that new models make the old ones obsolete.
High performance coach, philosopher, poet, and founder of Mystic Misfit β one of Nathaniel's personal brings for the Austin week. Kevin operates at the intersection of evolutionary psychology, embodiment, and mastery, making complex ideas land in the body rather than just the head. Austin-based, he's exactly the kind of mind that belongs in a room like this: someone who won't let you settle for an intellectual answer when a real one is available.
Action philosopher, black belt, and longtime Texan β brought in by Nathaniel because there are very few people who can strip a problem down to its irreducible truth the way Jesse can. He built and sold multiple martial arts schools before committing fully to the philosophy of mastery and freedom. His "Mind Vitamin" body of work has touched hundreds of thousands of people β but the version of Jesse Elder you want is the one in a small room. Painstakingly simple. Superbly profound.
Founder of the Freedom Cell Network β 19,000+ people worldwide β and one of Nathaniel's Austin-based allies who lives exactly what he talks about. Intentional community in Central Texas, a bootstrapped business in Brave Botanicals, a decade-plus of building real parallel systems rather than just critiquing the existing ones. John brings the framework for operating with full sovereignty β and for building things designed to actually last outside the default infrastructure.
Personal clarity coach, music producer, and peak performance coach for professional creatives β brought in by Nathaniel because Devon operates at an intersection most coaches don't touch: the place where inner clarity and creative output become the same thing. He works with high-capacity leaders and visionaries navigating complexity, helping them cut through the noise, find their exact next move, and get their creative energy actually running in one direction. The music component of this retreat? Devon's fingerprints are on it.
