RTB Recap

Let’s talk about Raise the Bar Live 2025—because what went down in Montego Bay was more than a retreat. It was a full-on business elevation experience wrapped in Caribbean sunsets, VIP treatment, and real strategy you can actually use.

From May 15–20, we brought the growth, the knowledge, and the fun to the shores of Montego Bay, Jamaica—and trust me, it did not disappoint.

The VIP Welcome We Deserve

The moment our attendees landed, we set the tone: no stress, just luxury. After fast-track processing through immigration and security, everyone kicked back in a VIP lounge to grab food and drinks before hopping into their personal transport to the hotel.

Our home for the week? The S Hotel Montego Bay—an all-inclusive beachfront escape that never felt overcrowded, but always felt alive. Think beach chairs with space to breathe, pools that called your name day and night, and restaurants that hit every craving.

We kicked things off that evening with a welcome reception full of Jamaican flavor—literally. The food was incredible, the dancing electric, and the energy? Unmatched.

Day 1: Scaling with Strategy and Bold Moves

Friday was our first official day of sessions, and we came ready. The focus? Scaling with clarity. Here’s what we tackled:

Strategic Vision for Scaling
Operational Systems for Sustainable Growth
Scaling Client Acquisition & Retention through Community Involvement

🔥 Then came the powerhouse guest speakers:

Darren Wurz – The Intelligent Investor’s Playbook: Building Wealth & Passive Income Beyond Your Firm
Lashana West – CEO Mindset Upgrade: Breaking Barriers & Scaling Boldly

These sessions lit the room up. Real talk, real tools, real results. Once we wrapped, we dined together at one of the hotel’s restaurants, then capped off the night with a poolside reggae party, basketball watch party, and late-night ping-pong battles.

Day 2: Deeper Strategies, Dynamic Speakers, and So Much Fire

Saturday brought all the momentum. We kicked off with a group activity, diving into real scenarios and team-based strategy building. Then, we jumped into our next wave of transformational sessions:

Leveraging Technology to Scale (AI-Specific Tools for Lawyers)
Creating Client-Centric Marketing Materials
Structuring Your Team for Growth

We also had a speaker lineup that didn’t miss:

Panel Discussion – Marketing Strategies that Scale featuring Bernie Ollila
Terrence Quinn – Estate Planning for Lawyers
Lashana West (back again) – Protect Your Peace, Build Your Legacy: Mental Resilience for Law Firm Owners

We processed. We planned. We broke mental barriers. And then? We hit the seafood restaurant for a group dinner and danced it all off at the club. Because balance.

Day 3: The Free Day You Didn’t Know You Needed

Sunday was made for rest and recharge. Some of us hit the spa, others soaked up the sun on the beach. And then came our private group dinner—a full Jamaican experience complete with authentic cuisine and live music that had us all in our feels. Some stayed at the pool, some danced, but all of us left that night with full hearts (and full plates).

Day 4: Adrenaline and Adventure

On Monday, we went full-on explorer mode with our excursion day.

We headed to a private Caribbean getaway spot where we:

Ziplined across the ocean (yes, you read that right),
Rode horses through lush greenery and then into the water,
And wrapped it up with a thrilling ATV adventure—mud, wind, adrenaline, and all.

We came back to the hotel glowing (and maybe a little sunburned), cleaned up, and headed to our farewell dinner at a beautiful off-site seafood restaurant with panoramic views. The vibe? Grateful, excited, and already planning the next one.

Final Goodbyes… Until Profit Pillars

Raise the Bar Live 2025 in Montego Bay was the perfect blend of education, elevation, and escape. We laughed, we learned, we leveled up—and we’re doing it again soon.

Most of our attendees already booked their spots for the next one in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and honestly, we can’t wait to do it all over again—with new strategies, fresh energy, and a community that keeps winning.
