Lead in Unity: The Grays Peak Immersion

A 1-Day Leadership Ascent to Bridge the Gap Between Who You Are and How You Lead.

Featuring Special Guest: Greg Scheinman

1 Day + 2 Integration Sessions

Grays Peak, Colorado (14,278 ft)

September 19, 2026

The Ridge Between Ambition and Alignment

Leadership is a paradox. You are told to be driven yet still; a visionary soloist yet a collaborative partner. Most leaders feel the "split.” The gap between their inner values and their outer actions.

On the rugged saddle between the twin peaks of Grays and Torreys, we move past the theory of balance and into the practice of Integration.

This isn't just a hike. It’s a threshold. You will learn to reconcile the "Union of Opposites" … masculine and feminine, competition and collaboration, seen and unseen, to become a unified leader.

This Grays Peak immersion is joined by a guide whose work is built on real-world transformation under pressure.

Greg Scheinman brings decades of experience helping leaders translate challenge into clarity and discipline into lasting change.

A serial entrepreneur with two seven-figure exits and the founder of Midlife Male, Greg has interviewed 200+ high-performers and coached 100’s of individuals and teams through meaningful reinvention. His work is grounded not in theory, but in lived experience, having navigated panic attacks, addiction, profound loss, and the hard work of rebuilding from the inside out.

On Grays Peak, Greg joins as a co-guide with the No Matter What Team, walking the ridge alongside you, deepening the practice of integration, steadiness, and trust when conditions shift.

“Mediocrity happens by default, maximization happens by design”. - Greg Scheinman

  • Integration | Bridge inner and outer alignment

    Close the gap between your private values and your public leadership.

  • Partnership | Strengthen collaboration through discomfort

    Build trust that survives "thin air" and high-pressure environments.

  • Balance | Harmonize action and reflection, drive and stillness

    Master the rhythm of drive and stillness. Know when to push and when to recalibrate.

  • Trust | Deepen relational leadership

    Experience the No Matter What mindset in a physical environment where it actually matters.

Growth doesn’t happen when things are easy.

It happens when you step into the unknown, and stay long enough to see what emerges.

In business, in life, and in leadership, that’s the real edge.

This adventure gives you the tools and the trust to navigate it, No Matter What.

  • Sterling Hawkins is an author, investor, entrepreneur, and keynote speaker who is globally

    recognized as a thought leader in personal and organizational growth. Founder of the No Matter What Movement, he shows people how to achieve the performance, results and fulfillment they want regardless of obstacles.

    Sterling developed his methodology to learn from the painful collapse of his multibillion dollar startup involvement. He's since combined his business background, research, study and practice to come back and launch, invest in and grow more than 100 companies. He's taken that experience to work with C-level teams and leaders and speak on stages around the world. He's been featured in magazines like Forbes, Fast Company, The New York Times and Inc.

    He believes that there is no growth without discomfort – and it requires courage, commitment, community and the cultivation of  trust to move through the uncomfortable and uncertain and into breakthrough results. To inspire people to unlock their own inherent potential, he shares key practices that help us push beyond our perceived limits to make a difference for our companies, communities and families. When he's not at home in Colorado, he may be out skydiving, swimming with sharks or adventuring with the No Matter What Movement.

  • Haviland Hawkins is an entrepreneur, strategist, and keynote collaborator who co-leads the No Matter What Movement alongside her brother, Sterling. Together, they design and lead immersive leadership retreats and adventures around the world (from the mountains of Peru to cultural immersions in Africa) each crafted to challenge limits, spark transformation, and inspire breakthrough results.

    With a background in marketing strategy, operations, and transformational leadership, Haviland has worked with Fortune 500 companies, entrepreneurs, and global organizations to drive both personal and organizational growth. Her expertise lies in translating bold ideas into actionable outcomes, ensuring that the No Matter What methodology extends beyond the keynote stage into lasting change for individuals, teams and companies.

    She believes growth requires courage, commitment, and community. Through her work, she creates spaces where people can confront discomfort, unlock their potential, and discover what they’re truly capable of. Whether uniting executives across cultural barriers, supporting leaders in breaking free of limiting beliefs, or guiding participants step by step on the Inca Trail, Haviland blends clarity, compassion and challenge to deliver breakthrough results.

    When she’s not home in Colorado, you’ll find her alongside Sterling, leading No Matter What adventures and retreats or exploring new frontiers that continue to push her own edges.

Through it, he built a proven operating system for transformation – from fat to fit, drunk to sober, broke to wealthy, rudderless to purposeful. His approach isn't theory. It's tested daily and featured in Men's Health, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.

The Inner Journey

of No Matter What Leadership

Our No Matter What Process

Where personal transformation becomes embodied leadership.

Every No Matter What Adventure follows a universal rhythm. The journey from the known into the unknown and back again. It’s a process that has guided heroes, leaders, and seekers for centuries: a crossing of thresholds, a shedding of what no longer serves, and a return with something new to give.

This isn’t just a travel experience. It’s a lived process of becoming the kind of leader who can navigate the unknown, within yourself, your team, and your organization, no matter what.
