What does it take to go from idea to a $1M+ business in your first year?
In this virtual fireside chat, YPO member and serial entrepreneur Evan Bailyn hosts two of his mentees, Emily Connor and Brett Kleinberg, who each built thriving businesses within a year of starting their entrepreneurial journeys. Together, they'll share the real story of how they did it— what worked, what didn't, and the mindset that drove their success.

Beyond the business lessons, this conversation explores the power of mentorship: the way shared experience, accountability, and belief can accelerate growth more than capital ever could. You'll hear how the mentor-mentee relationship evolved in practice, and how guidance from someone just a few steps ahead can make the difference between an idea and a thriving enterprise.
