Hey Reader!

You may have been to a Momentum event before... so it's possible you know that Momentum is not your typical business event.

This year? It's the most intentional lineup I've ever put together.

Every speaker, every session, every day has been designed around one goal: you leaving Orlando with more than inspiration. You'll leave with a real, documented plan for growing, scaling, and monetizing your business. And you won't just learn it. You'll build it while you're in the room.

I'm thrilled to announce the complete speaker lineup for Momentum Weekend Workshop 2026.

🎤 Meet Our Lineup of 2026 Speakers:

• Michael Collier - Former Disney Ambassador & Entrepreneur - Michael went from representing one of the most beloved brands in the world as a Disney Ambassador to building his own brand from the ground up.
