As I mentioned before, Superhuman #1 went extremely well. Everyone left not only with actionable steps to reach their goals, but also with connections to some other really great people. I was a little bit exhausted by the end, but it was really a great experience to get to do deep work with some of my most serious readers, and to get to know them on a personal level.
I collected feedback from most of the attendees. No one rated the event less than 8/10, and 95% of the critical feedback was on logistics and timing, which I admittedly did not do a great job of. Using their feedback plus our mutual experience, I am ready to put on a second event which should be even better!
The biggest change is that this event will be 2.5 days long instead of 1.5 days long. On the first event I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to fill so much time with useful content, but now I realize that more time would have been much better. People also universally wished that we had more social time (with all but one person suggesting 70% work and 30% social vis the 90/10 split we had this time). So this time around we will have much more social time.
The goals of this event will be for each attendee to have actionable next steps on their most important goals, to be paired with a like-minded peer to hold them accountable, and to get to know me and their fellow attendees.
The event will be from June 22nd to June 24th in Las Vegas and will cost $1500. Here’s what the schedule will look like:
June 22nd 5pm – Join me at the penthouse suite of a hotel on the strip to meet me and your fellow attendees. I will pair each person with someone else to be their partner throughout the experience and their accountability partner afterwards. We will hang out for a couple hours to get to know each other, and I’m happy to answer random questions that aren’t related to your primary goals.
June 22nd 8pm – Everyone except for me will go have dinner together. One of the attendees spontaneously organized this last time and everyone loved getting to know each other and build trust before the event. I ask everyone to be very honest and vulnerable during the event, so it helps to know who you are sharing with. The reason I don’t join for this dinner is to make sure the focus is on getting to know each other.
June 23rd 10am – Meet back at the suite for relaxed tea together. I’ll brew some special teas from my travels and we will chat and get to know each other better.
June 23rd 11:30am – Lunch break. Everyone can go pick up food and either eat out or bring it back to the suite.
June 23rd 1pm – The hard work begins! Going pair by pair, each person will have an hour of one-on-one coaching with me. We will work to get to the root of your goal, come up with the best course of action, and come up with habits and tasks that you will stick to. Your partner will pay special attention so that they can best support you after the event and hold you accountable to your tasks. If you don’t have a specific goal, you can also use your hour to discuss whatever you like. Several attendees of the last event told me that hearing other peoples’ coaching sessions was their favorite part. We will take a 15 minute break between every person and there will be plenty of snacks and water to keep energy up.
June 23rd 8pm – Chipotle! I will have food from my favorite restaurant delivered and we can eat together and hang out until 9:30pm.
June 24th 10am – We’ll meet back for tea and repeat the previous day exactly with the same schedule, spending the focused time on the five people who didn’t get their hour in the previous day. At the end we’ll close by recapping a little bit over dinner and making sure everyone is clear on their next steps.
Three months later I will do a free 30 minute conference call with every pair of people who remained in contact with each other, gave me feedback on the event, and followed through on their agreed-upon goals.
Here are some quotes from attendees of the first event:
“Tynan’s first superhuman event was a tremendous value—insightful, spontaneous, inspiring and action-oriented. Hanging out with the legendary ninja of simplicity Leo Babauta was an awesome surprise bonus!”
“I’ve always enjoyed Tynan’s blog because his method of communication is very action focused on improvement. Similarly Tynan’s event left everyone with very actionable steps to work on the issues they brought to the event. We have a three month follow up call and I look forward to regrouping with everyone!”
“This event was well worth my time and money. I learned helpful ideas and habits with a great small group dedicated to learning, improving, and getting out in the world to do things. The in-person aspect of this event made a big difference for me. I feel energized and challenged to go out and achieve my goals and dreams.”
“Tynan has a unique ability to understand a person’s issue break it down and figure out an actionable path to the desired result!”
“I was able to be fully vulnerable in a safe environment. Getting honest insights from people across all walks of life was invaluable to me because it exposed blind spots in my thinking. Combine that with actionable advice advice and you get an awesome event.”
“The event exceeded my expectations. Tynan gave us guidance specific to our individual needs and had a lot of patience when something wasn’t clear. He built an atmosphere where we could open up without the fear of being ridiculed or judged.”
While I would love to do big events, it’s most important to me for people to leave with real personalized value. For that reason, I am limiting attendance to just 10 people. Spots are available first-come-first-serve, though I reserve the right to decline attendance for anyone who I don’t feel is a good fit.
To reserve your spot, email event at tynan dot net with the subject “Superhuman 2” and give me a very brief bio, including what your biggest challenge currently is.

Next week I leave on a cruise where I will write a ton of blog posts instead of a book so that I can queue them and keep a more regular schedule. If you have any ideas for blog posts you’d like to see, now’s the time to suggest them!
