Explorer Summit 2024

Longevity & Legacy
June 19-22 | Guanacaste, Costa Rica

 

“There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.” -Mark Twain

Over the next several years, humans will experience enormous change.

Shifting world order, AI, super-computing, crypto, and human health are transforming faster than you can imagine.

Most people will be caught in the middle of these changes, and struggle to survive. 

A smaller group of people will thrive…

How do you plan on prospering over the next decade?

2024 Explorer Summit

Join us in Costa Rica from June 19 - 22, 2024

for our first-ever Explorer Summit 

We’ll be hosting this event in the Nicoya Peninsula - one of the five Blue Zones in the world - where people live the longest.

This is an all-inclusive trip to Costa Rica, which will take place at The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa.

Each day will be a balance of:

  • Insights on investing and wealth-building 

  • Health and wellness coaching

  • Surfing and hiking adventures

  • Community dinners and late-night fun

You’ll be joined by investors, entrepreneurs, and high-performing individuals who value wealth, health, and freedom.

* This is a kid-friendly resort, with a kids club and baby sitting services available.

**ATTENTION SURFERS: Scroll to the very bottom of this page for more information about our surfing activities!

Why an Explorer Summit?

Although the world is changing rapidly, the one thing that remains constant and valuable is human connection. 

This is especially true for those who value relationships with successful and like-minded people.

And that’s what the Explorer Partnership (E/P) is all about: Exploring the world for hidden opportunities, while sharing unique experiences with peers who push you to be a better, more successful person. 

Summit Theme: Legacy

This coming June, we’ll be focusing on the importance of health and longevity in building a life of wealth and legacy. 

Of course, we’ll still be discussing investing, debating the changing geopolitical landscape, and learning how fellow investors are growing their wealth…

And we’ll also be surfing, exploring the jungle, and enjoying the friendly and warm culture of Costa Rica.

Being our largest event of the year, you do not want to miss our 2024 Explorer Summit.

State of the Market & Wealth Building Opportunities

Keith Blackborg, CPA & Owner of Financial Journey

Keith Blackborg, CPA, reached Work Optional within 10 years due to success as an investor and tax strategist. Keith and his wife Jessica have experience with domestic and international investments, including residential and commercial real estate, lending, startups, and paper assets. Keith served as the director of acquisitions for a hedge fund that transacted the largest private sale of homes in US history.

He used to own a CPA firm focused on high-net-worth real estate investors, including high-volume single-family investors and apartment syndicators. As a tax strategist, he showed clients how to legally save ~5-10% of their income in taxes each year.

Keith and Jessica became millionaires before they were age thirty. Between 2016 & 2017, Keith and Jessica sold the CPA firm and most of their active investments. They transitioned to a board-level role of their wealth business overseeing high ROI passive investments. Keith and Jessica were able to retire comfortably through Work Optional in less than a decade of working.

In the three years that followed, Keith and Jessica traveled around the world while soul searching and seeking what was next. However, traveling and Netflix gets old after a while. Out of the desire to help more, Financial Journey is the manifestation of passion to help others enjoy freedom.

Financial Journey connects clients to wealth by providing the framework, strategy, deals, and community to support and accelerate their journey to “work optional.” As a result, clients quickly learn how to build their wealth business while enjoying the journey.

Getting There

The Westin Reserva Conchal is located within an hour drive of Liberia International Airport. Direct flights are available to Liberia from most major US cities, on multiple major airlines. From the airport, you can rent a car, arrange for transportation, or carpool with fellow event attendees (private chat will be available for registered attendees).


For Surfers:

Is this a surf trip?

Yes! This is absolutely a surf trip! We will be surfing before, during, and after the event in the Tamarindo and Nosara areas. Here are some details to better understand our surfing activities:

  • If you are a beginner surfer, you will need to arrange lessons and board rentals on your own. There are many options in the area and we can help point you in the right direction after you register for the event.

  • If you are an intermediate/advanced surfer, we will be casually meeting up at different breaks (depending on swell direction, tides, weather, timing, etc.). You will need to have your own board and transportation. We will have a private Telegram messaging group for the event, which will allow everyone to coordinate logistics prior to arriving in Costa Rica.

  • From June 19-22, we will be surfing in the direct vicinity of the Westin Conchal. The goal is to get in the water and catch some waves between event activities and meals.

  • Several days prior and after the event, we’ll be venturing further out to find other waves. Just like any surf trip, you have to stay flexible, be adventurous, and be self sufficient.

Who Will Be Surfing?

- Felipe Pomar: World’s First Surfing Champion and Lifelong Waterman

- Cody Shirk: Founder of Explorer companies and Lifelong Waterman (pictured right)

- More special guests TBA…


MEMBER TESTIMONIALS

Curious what to expect? Hear it from Explorer Partnership members who have been to our events and trips in the past:

 

FOUND MY TRIBE

“I joined Explorer Partnership in 2018 after checking out an event in Puerto Rico. After meeting others, I knew I had found my tribe! Worldly, open-minded, innovative, and radically positive people who came from different backgrounds and professions. The one thing uniting them was the endless pursuit for return on investment: financial, time, and relationship investment.

As a Navy veteran, Explorer Partnership catalyzed my journey as an entrepreneur.” - Chelsea R.

MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES

“I had the opportunity to join a trip Cody put together in 2017 to Cali, Colombia that was the start of a journey that opened my eyes and shifted my perspective in terms of travel, investment, entrepreneurship and building relationships. Cody is a savvy, knowledgeable investor and world traveler; he's also a great guy and I'm thankful for the experiences he's helped facilitate.” - Mike G.

 
 

MORE THAN A TRIP

“I joined E/P in 2017 and it was the best decision. I have made lifelong friends and memories. To travel the world together with other individuals who have the same interests such as investing, exploring, and having a good time was completely worth it! I treasure what I learn on each trip and love meeting people from all different backgrounds to gain more knowledge about other sectors. It’s so much more than a trip!” - Ania Z.

INTERESTING PEOPLE

“I’ve been to the other side of the world with Cody in Hong Kong and China. I have been on coffee farms, bamboo jungles, and in amazing cultures in South America. Cody provided me and many others the opportunity to travel places we normally would have never gone. The people on these trips were some of the brightest and most interesting people in the world. Meeting them and interacting with them has led to some of my very best business and personal connections. Without Cody and these people, I never would have considered all the possibilities that the rest of the world has to offer.” - Adam O.
