The weekend, plainly
WHAT YOU'RE SIGNING UP FOR
Everyone depends on you. When do you get the chance to step back and look at where you're headed?
- 1
Leave normal life for three days.
- 2
Do three things you'll talk about for years.
- 3
Take an honest look at what's drifted.
- 4
Pick three priorities.
- 5
Go home with a 90-day plan, a partner who'll hold you to it, and a group that keeps meeting for a year.
"Things are basically fine, but I'm coasting in a few areas, and I haven't stopped long enough to figure out what needs to change."
More than a retreat.
A REAL RESET.
Most men do not need another motivational speech.
They need space away from the noise, honest feedback, physical challenge, hard conversations, and a clear plan for what comes next.
Prepare for What's Next is a three-day intensive designed to help men examine the areas of life that matter most, confront what they have been avoiding, strengthen their standards, and leave with a practical 90-day plan.
Challenging Environment
The red-rock desert and La Sal Mountains above Moab provide a powerful environment to step outside normal routines and gain perspective.
Real-World Training
Physical challenges, martial arts fundamentals, leadership exercises, decision-making drills, and team-based experiences.
Honest Conversations
Marriage, family, faith, business, discipline, health, responsibility, and purpose without motivational fluff.
A Clear Plan
Leave with specific priorities, measurable commitments, accountability, and a 90-day action plan.
From the Marines to Amazon to entrepreneurship
MEET ANDERSON SALGADO
Anderson Salgado has spent his career learning what actually holds up when people are depending on you.
Anderson Salgado spent 12 years in the United States Marine Corps. As a platoon sergeant and a Senior Marine Corps Martial Arts Black Belt Instructor, he led and trained Marines, including coordinating the training of 87 Marines who took part in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.
Then he built a career in business. At Amazon he was a Senior Vendor Manager for leading Beauty and Luxury Beauty manufacturers and launched 27 new brands into the category. He went on to lead Amazon at VaynerMedia, founded Luxcity Brands in 2017, and in 2024 founded Dall Italia, where he is CEO, bringing premium Italian beauty brands to the U.S. from Lehi, Utah.
Through all of it he has been a husband, a father, and a Christian, carrying the same pressures as the men who will be in the room: building a career, leading a family, maintaining discipline, strengthening faith, and deciding what truly matters.
Prepare for What's Next is built around a simple belief:
The worst time to prepare for the next chapter of your life is after it has already arrived.
Anderson brings together lessons from military training, entrepreneurship, marriage, fatherhood, faith, and leadership to create an experience that is practical, demanding, and grounded in real life.

Who's in the room
A small group, planned around 8 men and never more than 10: capable men carrying real responsibility for the people who depend on them. Business owners, professionals, husbands and fathers. Application required.
THIS EXPERIENCE IS FOR MEN WHO...
You do not need to be a former athlete, military veteran, entrepreneur, or fitness fanatic.
You do need to be willing to participate, be honest with yourself, accept challenge, and take responsibility for what happens next.
- A personal 90-day mission
- Three measurable priorities
- A realistic fitness and discipline plan
- Clear next steps for your marriage and family
- Greater clarity around business and career
- A stronger personal standard
- An accountability partner, plus a monthly group call with Anderson for 12 months
- A group of men who went through the experience with you
THE WEEKEND IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
The goal is not to create a temporary emotional high. Every participant leaves with a 90-day execution plan and an accountability partner, and the group keeps meeting: one 60-minute call with Anderson and the men from your weekend every month for 12 months.
- 01
Before The Event
Preparation, a short honest look at where you are, goal setting.
- 02
The Utah Intensive
Three days of challenge, clarity, leadership, and planning.

The Next 12 Months
Your 90-day plan, your accountability partner, and a monthly group call with Anderson.
Questions
FAQ
Have a question we haven't covered? Include it with your application.
How physically demanding is the event?
The weekend includes a guided canyon rappel with a private guide, a guided Hummer ride, sunrise sessions with martial arts fundamentals, and a sauna and cold plunge. You should be reasonably healthy and able to hike a few hours on uneven ground. No experience is needed, guides handle all the technical gear, and every activity has an easier option.
Do I need military experience?
No.
Is this a religious retreat?
Christian faith is part of Anderson's worldview and will be part of the experience, but the weekend is focused broadly on leadership, responsibility, family, discipline, purpose, and growth.
Is this only for entrepreneurs?
No. The event is relevant to business owners, professionals, fathers, leaders, and men preparing for a major life transition.
How many men will attend?
We plan around 8 men, and never more than 10.
Where will it be held?
Moab, Utah. Exact location and logistics are provided after acceptance.
When is it?
Upcoming dates will be shared with accepted applicants.
What should I expect?
Two guided adventures, sessions with Anderson, honest group conversation, personal reflection, and planning. You leave with three priorities, a 90-day plan, an accountability partner, and a monthly group call with Anderson and your group for the next 12 months.
Are there optional extras?
Yes, for men who want them, and neither is part of the program. Early arrivals can add a Friday-morning scenic flight over Canyonlands and Arches, at cost (about $450). Men who want it can also book a 400-foot canyon rope swing on Thursday or Monday, arranged separately.
