What is a hotbox?
A place where the exhaled is inhaled.
What is a strategic hotbox?
Raw, authentic leadership discussions. We chew up topics facing people in business, inhale each other’s point of view and exhale a way to execute.   
​Learn, Love or Kick Ass?
Learn every day. Choose Love. Kick serious ass. 
Tell us about you.
