As part of each of the Breakout we’ve done in Tulsa over the years, we have been able to forge a relationship to convene with friends a part of the Osage nation to take part in rituals, conversations on land & food sovereignty, and learn about their history as well as simply breaking bread and in being in community with one another.

We united 250 leaders for a 4-day experience, igniting national social buzz. With luminaries like Andrew Young and ATL's hip-hop icons, we celebrated ATL's cultural allure, from film to startups. Highlights included a mass meditation at the historic Fox Theatre and intimate dinners with pioneering entrepreneurs.

Big thanks to best-in-class partners including Choose ATL, Mailchimp, Fujifilm, GE & Delta.

Breakout teamed up with Zico (2018) in LA and NYC for a simple idea. To bring people together from two global cities for a common purpose... Amplifying the real heros in our cities and to inspire others to pursue their calling.
