AI Can Automate Everything Except the Handshake.
In a world racing to replace every human interaction with software, we believe the businesses that win are the ones that still show up — in person, on camera, at the table. We put you in rooms where handshakes turn into contracts and conversations turn into revenue.
The People Behind the Room.
Four founders. One belief: technology should amplify human connection, not replace it.

Jaxon Wright
Chief Executive Officer
Jaxon built YFB on one conviction: the businesses that win don’t out-automate their competitors — they out-connect them. He curates every event, vets every member, and personally makes the introductions that move the needle. When you walk into a YFB room, you’re walking into a network he assembled by hand.

Justin Meyers
Chief Technology Officer
Justin engineers the AI infrastructure that powers YFB’s outreach engine — from lead scoring and email sequencing to the analytics layer that tells you exactly who to meet and when. He believes AI should handle the noise so humans can focus on what matters: the handshake.

Justen Patague
Media Director
Justen turns every event and podcast into a content machine. 300–400 pieces per month — highlight reels, B-roll, social clips, professional photography — all captured in the moments where real connections happen. He makes sure the world sees you the way the room sees you.

Riley Keohen
Chief Operating Officer
Riley keeps the machine running. From event logistics and partner onboarding to operational workflows and financial strategy, he ensures every moving piece of YFB delivers on time, on budget, and at scale. When the founders dream big, Riley makes it real.




We don’t hire account managers. The founders run the network.
See It. Feel It. Believe It.
Real events. Real connections. Real results. This is what it looks like when people actually show up.
We Believe in Something AI Will Never Replace.
Every month, another tool promises to automate your way to growth. AI writes your emails. AI scores your leads. AI generates your content. And yet — the most valuable thing in business hasn’t changed in ten thousand years.
Why
Human connection is irreplaceable.
No algorithm can read a room. No chatbot can build trust over dinner. No sequence can replace the moment two people look each other in the eye and decide to do business together. That’s what we protect.
How
Podcasts, events, and warm introductions.
We put you on camera, on stage, and at the table with people who can change your business. Not through a screen — in the same room, breathing the same air, shaking the same hands.
What
A revenue system built on real relationships.
Monthly curated events. Weekly podcast conversations. AI-powered outreach to fill the room. Content production to amplify your voice. All designed to create the one thing that actually closes deals: trust.
Everyone Automated. Nobody Showed Up.
Your competitors bought the AI tools. They automated their outreach. They scheduled the drip campaigns. They let chatbots answer their phones. And now they’re sitting behind screens wondering why nothing is converting — because they removed the only part of the process that ever mattered.
Cold emails get deleted. LinkedIn DMs get ignored. Webinar funnels get abandoned. Not because the technology is broken — because people do business with people they’ve met, liked, and trusted. Always have. Always will.
The companies winning right now aren’t the ones with the best automation. They’re the ones that still walk into the room. We make sure you’re in that room.
We Don't Replace the Human. We Put You in the Room.
Four pillars. One purpose: get you face-to-face with the people who can transform your business.
Monthly Curated Events
75–120 established business owners. Luxury venues. Celebrity catering. Open bars. Red carpet media coverage. Speaking slots. These aren’t networking mixers — they’re curated rooms where you meet the person who changes your year.
Weekly Podcast Conversations
1–2 podcast episodes per week. You sit across from decision-makers, industry leaders, and potential partners. You build relationships on camera that compound off camera. Every episode is a warm introduction disguised as content.
10–30 Warm Introductions / Month
C-level decision-makers, pre-qualified for your offering. Double opt-in. Direct introduction with full context. Not a mass blast — a curated handoff from someone who knows you both.
AI-Powered Outreach to Fill the Room
900–2,000 targeted leads per day. AI handles the volume so you can focus on the conversations that matter. The machine finds them. You close them. In person.
AI fills the pipeline. You fill the room. That’s the division of labor.

We don’t just connect you — we produce, host, and amplify everything you need to grow.
Full-Service Podcast Production
Creation • Booking • Editing • Posting
We handle everything. You show up, have the conversation, and walk away. We book the guests, set up the shoot, film it with professional production, edit the episode, cut the clips, write the captions, and post it across every platform. Turn-key podcast production designed to build your network and your brand at the same time.
Event Production
B2B • Political • Fundraisers • Voter Events
We plan, produce, and execute high-impact events for businesses and political campaigns. B2B networking mixers that generate real partnerships. Campaign fundraisers that connect candidates with donors. Voter outreach events that build grassroots support. Full-service: venue, catering, media production, guest curation, and live podcast integration.
Industry Coalition Building
Education • Voter Outreach • Local Politics
We build industry coalitions that educate voters on local politics that directly affect their lives. Through curated events, targeted messaging, podcast conversations, and live Q&A sessions, we bring together business leaders and communities to drive awareness on the policies that matter most — from zoning and taxes to regulation and workforce development.
Content & Advertising
Event Ads • Podcast Clips • Online Campaigns
Every event, podcast, live Q&A, and speaking engagement creates content that sells. We turn your in-person moments into advertising assets — event highlight reels, podcast clip ads, speaker soundbites, and testimonial cuts. Then we run them as targeted online ad campaigns and event sponsorship placements so your message reaches the right audience at scale.

Book a Free Strategy CallAI Does the Work. You Do the Handshake.
We don’t pretend AI replaces relationships. We use it for what it’s actually good at: finding the right people, scoring the right leads, and clearing the noise so you can walk into every conversation prepared, targeted, and confident.
EVA Finance AI powers our outreach engine — 2,000 leads targeted daily, every one scrubbed, scored, and sequenced. But the deal doesn’t close in the inbox. It closes when you sit across the table from them at our next event.
This Only Works If You Show Up.
We built the system. We fill the room. We make the introductions. But the magic happens when you walk through the door.
We Work With
- Operators who believe deals are closed face-to-face, not in a funnel
- Business owners scaling past $250K who are ready to be in the room
- Leaders willing to get on camera, get on stage, and get uncomfortable
- Companies that understand relationships are the highest-ROI infrastructure
- People who follow up on every warm introduction within 24 hours
We Don’t Work With
- Anyone looking for a "set it and forget it" marketing vendor
- Companies that think AI replaces the need to show up
- Startups without revenue or a proven offer
- People who skip events and blame the system
- Anyone who won’t record a podcast or stand on a stage
We only make money when you close deals. That’s not marketing — that’s alignment. We succeed when you succeed. Which means we need people who show up.

From First Handshake to First Deal in 90 Days.
Build the Engine
We set up your AI-powered outreach infrastructure. Domains, email accounts, lead scraping, warmup. The machine that fills the pipeline while you focus on being human.
Step into the Room
Your first curated event. First podcast recordings. You meet the network. You shake the hands. You start building the trust that no email sequence can manufacture.
Pipeline Meets Presence
Full outbound capacity unlocked. First wave of warm introductions delivered. Content from events and podcasts amplified. The AI feeds the funnel. You close in person.
Relationships Compound
Follow-ups from events turn into proposals. Podcast guests become referral partners. Introductions lead to second meetings. The compound effect of showing up starts to hit.
Revenue or Recalibrate
First deals closing from relationships built in person. Pipeline data drives next-quarter strategy. Decision point: continue, upgrade, or exit with your full network intact.
AI Can't Do This Part for You.
We built the system. We fill the room. But you have to be the one standing in it.
- Show up to events. Every month. On time. Present.
- Record 1–2 podcast episodes per week. This is how trust scales.
- Promote your content. LinkedIn, email, everywhere. Be visible.
- Fund your domains, email accounts, and outreach tools.
- Follow up on every warm introduction within 24 hours.
- Actually sell when conversations open. We open the door — you walk through it.
Missing events or refusing podcasts is grounds for contract termination. The whole system is built on one belief: you have to be present. If you won’t show up, no amount of AI will save you.
Ready to Show Up? Book a CallThe Room Speaks for Itself.
Luxury venues. Celebrity catering. Open bars. Red carpet coverage. These aren’t networking mixers. They’re curated environments designed for one thing: real conversations between real operators who close real deals. AI got them to the door. Being in the room did the rest.
The Questions Worth Asking.
Why do you keep saying AI can’t replace human connection?
Because it’s the central truth of our business. AI is brilliant at finding leads, scoring prospects, and automating outreach. But trust, rapport, and the decision to write a check — those happen when two people are in the same room. Every tool we use exists to get you to that moment faster.
Why are podcasts mandatory?
Podcasts aren’t content. They’re 30-minute relationship-building conversations with potential partners, clients, and referral sources. You sit across from someone, talk about real things, and walk away with a connection that compounds. The recording is just a byproduct.
Why are events mandatory?
Because deals close face-to-face. You can send 10,000 emails or you can shake 100 hands. We’ve seen what works. The events aren’t optional because they’re the highest-ROI activity in the entire system.
What's revenue share and why is it part of the model?
A percentage of every deal closed through our introductions. We only make real money when you close real deals. That means we’re aligned — we’re not incentivized to send you junk leads. We’re incentivized to put you in the right room with the right people.
What does the AI actually do if you’re so focused on human connection?
AI handles the work humans shouldn’t waste time on: finding prospects, scoring leads, warming up email infrastructure, optimizing send timing, building outreach sequences. It fills the pipeline at scale. You do the part AI can’t: showing up, building trust, and closing.
How do I know if this is right for my business?
Book a 20-minute call. It’s not a sales pitch. If it’s not a fit, we’ll tell you in the first 5 minutes. We only work with operators who are ready to show up and close.
AI Will Keep Getting Smarter. The Handshake Won't Change.
The businesses that win the next decade won’t be the most automated. They’ll be the most connected. We’re looking for operators who still believe in showing up.
