Hey,

You're invited to an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime Inner Circle event at Rudy's private Tuscan-style castle estate in the mountains of Franklin, NC. This stunning property with sweeping views provides an unforgettable setting to connect with Rudy and his team.

Join Rudy and his hand-picked experts for intimate, high-level discussions about business, leadership, and life. You'll also have the chance to enjoy the natural beauty and luxury of the Castle grounds.

We'll take care of providing all refreshments, light meals and snacks during the retreat. As discussed, you are responsible for your own travel and hotel arrangements. Please let me know if you need any help or recommendations!

The first evening at the Castle will be a magical Lord Of The Rings themed party! Dress up as your favorite Lord Of The Rings character or your own inspired version.

Magical Lord Of The Rings themed photo and video shoots. Pose with props and backdrops that let your inner wizard shine!
Trivia, games, and activities inspired by the Lord Of The Rings Universe. Test your knowledge and skills against fellow fans.
Dinner and desserts with Lord Of The Rings style dishes and decor. Dole Whip, anyone?
A best dressed costume contest. Show off your enchanted style for a chance to win a prize!
An enchanting evening of camaraderie and fun with new friends.

The party will last around 4-5 hours, so come ready to fully immerse yourself in the Lord Of The Rings Universe experience! We can't wait to see the creative costumes and share a magical evening together.

Let us know if you have any other ideas for fun Lord Of The Rings activities or theming. This will be a night to remember at the castle!

We recommend flying in early Sunday (October 27th) and planning to leave on Wednesday (October 30th), however some people do fly late Tuesday and leave the event Tuesday afternoon if your halfling at home can't manage the full 3 days.

The castle is located in Western North Carolina and is reachable from the following major airports.

Domestic:

75 miles: Asheville, NC (AVL / KAVL) Asheville Regional Airport

International:

139 miles: Atlanta, GA (ATL / KATL) Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
181 miles: Charlotte, NC (CLT / KCLT) Charlotte Douglas International Airport

IMPORTANT: Despite Ashveille being closer, its often easier to get a direct flight to Atlanta and renting a car, its just over a 2 hour drive vs a 1 hour drive from Asheville, but for many of you, it will skip a lay over and therefore still be quicker.

Please note, these are general recommendations based on the area and reviews, there are no specific accommodations we’ve personally experienced or are endorsing. As this is a small group, no block hotel rates or discount rates are available.

There will, as always, be our epic pre-event cocktail party on Sunday at 6:30 PM EST to start the week right.

After this, the events will run Monday and Tuesday from 9.30 AM to 5 PM EST followed by dinner served 6-9pm at the house. The evenings include use of the 13,000 sqft house, so chill out and network by the fire-pit, play some pool, table tennis, poker, or relax in the hot tub to the sun setting over the mountains.

During the day, the event will be a mix of presentations from Rudy and the team, 1-1 hot seats, small group round tables, Q+A and 1-1 time with Rudy. This is not like our standard mastermind events, it's a lot smaller (with around 15 members per event), and high touch.

In terms of clothing attire, the event will be casual, and, with it being North Carolina, always check the weather, it does get cold at night. During the day, expect the temperature to hover around 60-70 Fahrenheit. We recommend bringing a sweater and jacket as it could get chilly in the evenings. For the Sunday night, plan ahead and dress to impress!

Dance the night away with your fellow hobbits, wizards and Men of Gondor in this epic Lord of The Rings Themed party.

As always, we kick off the week with a fun dress-up party, with every castle event themed around one magical area. So grab your wizard's cloak, your diamonds and gems from the Dwarf Kingdoms or show off your dark side from Mordor and dress to impress.
