Your Final Invitation to Assemble in Orlando.


We’re just over a week away from The Thing Orlando 2025, and this is your moment to decide if you’re going to get in the room where remarkable leaders gather — or watch it unfold from a distance. This is my last email about the Orlando event until I tell you how it was.

You have until Friday (that's tomorrow) to book your room and secure your spot.

Here’s the truth: what I’ve really been building isn’t just an event. It’s an assembly — a gathering of the kind of people who make things happen.

Like Nick Fury, I’ve been calling on my best and brightest friends (and their friends) to come together for something bigger than any of us could do alone. You could call it the Avengers of business — creators, dreamers, strategists, and doers who use their powers to make the world better.

Maybe you’re feeling stuck right now — not because you lack ideas or talent, but because you’re not sure what to do with what makes you remarkable. Almost every superhero story has that same tension: the gifted leader trying to figure out how to use their power, wondering where they fit in a world that doesn’t always understand them.

Sound familiar?

The real kryptonite isn’t fear or failure. It’s isolation. It’s hiding in your lair, trying to figure it out alone, while the world needs what only you can bring

If you’re like me, you’ve probably felt that tension — being too much for some rooms, not enough for others. But at The Thing, you’ll find your people.

This isn’t your typical conference where everyone hides behind name tags and slides. This is more like a mastermind of remarkable humans — a place where Mavericks gather. Mavericks are the ones who build what’s next. They don’t wait for permission. They don’t fit into the mold. They take the hits, ask the hard questions, and still keep showing up. They see a better way — and then they create it.

At The Thing, you’ll be surrounded by people who think like you, create like you, and dream like you — people who will challenge you, sharpen you, and remind you why you started. You’ll leave with clarity, community, and the confidence to finally go all in on your thing.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Don’t miss the chance to assemble with some of the most remarkable minds and hearts I’ve ever known.

I’m Terry Weaver — business coach and idea strategist who specializes in helping remarkable leaders navigate the galaxy of entrepreneurship. My biggest goal is to help YOU discover what you really want and help discover the map to head in the direction and arrive at the destination. You desire. It’s the age old Spice Girls question I ask all my clients:“ Tell me what you want, what you really really want.” Almost immediately after high school I became a full time speaker speaking to students in middle school, high school, and colleges. During that time I accidentally found myself in the music business helping artists navigate moving their dreams from their garage to selling out shows and topping the charts. Standing on stage in a packed arena things began to shift for me.

Three months ago, I was in the ICU, not sure what was ahead. I had just had an ambulance ride, which I still have no memory of. What I did know was that the event had started 9 years before, and was going on without me. I was supposed to be on stage, and instead I was fighting for my life. I was 100% dependent on my community to pull off the event I dreamed of, and the medical team to take care of me! I was living what I’ve been preaching for years. If you want to go fast, go alone, but if...

Leslie and I talking with the Big Cheese. It’s hard to believe it’s already February. It’s been just over two months since I was released from the hospital, and we’ve learned a lot since then. One of the biggest lessons is that healing from sepsis doesn’t follow a simple or fast timeline. Post-Sepsis Syndrome is real, and getting my body back to “normal” has taken far longer than we ever imagined. We spent most of January in Florida doing exactly what doctors recommended. Rest. Heal. Breathe....

Greetings from the frozen tundra that is Nashville. I’m back from sabbatical in Florida and we are currently on day 5 of being iced in. Based on the weather, we should have stayed a few days longer. I'm still healing and trying to get my strength and energy back. Some days I feel like I can run through a wall, and some days I feel like the wall ran through me. While we were gone, we spent time relaxing and dreaming about the next year. A few friends from the Thing community even joined us for...
