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.

Hey friends, I want to share the full story of what happened at The Thing this year. Many of you have heard bits and pieces, but I want you to hear it directly from me. What Happened at The Thing Tuesday night started like every other amazing kickoff. We hosted our VVIP Welcome Dinner in our suite, and it was special. One of the attendees said something that hit me hard: “I knew I’d get a ton of help. What I wasn’t prepared for was how much everyone cared for each other… and how much you...

Let’s be real — these are wild times to be building anything. Algorithms flip every few weeks. What worked in marketing six months ago? Already outdated. AI is rewriting everything we thought we knew about marketing and communication. But here’s the truth, no one’s saying loud enough: AI can’t replicate YOU. Not your story. Not your scars.Not your weird, wonderful wiring. And that’s what this year’s Thing Orlando is all about —YOU: The Power of Being Human. Because the secret to discovering...

He's waiting on the world to change

I think you know that Leslie (my wife) and I live just outside Nashville. Last night, John Mayer played a music festival in our little town. I didn’t go (I’m more of an indoor concert with a chair and air conditioning kind of guy—which, by the way, we will have for you in Orlando… IYKYK). But it reminded me of one of his big songs: “Waiting on the World to Change.” The chorus says: Waiting on the world to change It’s hard to beat the system When we’re standing at a distance So we keep waiting...
