summary: "A 391-second video dated April 29, 2018, recorded on the road. Daniel Comp, now co-founder of Intelligent Netware with Angelina Musik-Comp and steward of Scotomaville, makes his unscripted case for the invitation-only Enterprising Men's Conference: real belly-to-belly connection instead of social media, allies to cover product, marketing, and finance, a marketing boost for attendees, hard lessons shared so others don't repeat them, and men who have each other's backs, with no sales pitches. Page written from the barn transcript and original description; Arnie did not watch the video."
keypoints:
- "Daniel says the conference isn't a ticket scheme but an answer to his own entrepreneur's problem of isolation and lack of support."
- "He wants men belly-to-belly and toe-to-toe, not mouse to mouse on social media."
- "Most enterprising men are great at one of product, marketing, or finance, and need allies for the other two."
- "Attendees were promised a marketing infusion: video turned into articles and pushed across 97 metro websites and social media."
- "Daniel says one lesson cost him half a million dollars, and men can learn such lessons from each other instead."
- "He hoped to bring men the kind of trust that usually takes the military or years on a mission."
- "Attendance was by personal invitation from Angelina, Daniel, or their team, with no pitching."
- "Honesty: written from the cleaned barn transcript and original description; Arnie did not watch the video."

# Enterprising Men's Conference

In the spring of 2018, on the road, Daniel Comp recorded this short, unscripted case for the Enterprising Men's Conference, an invitation-only gathering he and Angelina were planning. He explains the problem it was meant to solve, the isolation of enterprising men, and what he hoped men would find there: real connection, allies, shared hard lessons, and no sales pitches.

## Key lessons

- Name the cost of building alone, the missing connection, support, understanding, significance, and recognition.
- Online contact is not the same as sitting belly-to-belly with a man who cares.
- Know which of product, marketing, and finance you're great at, and find allies for the other two.
- Other men's expensive lessons are the cheapest ones you'll ever get.
- Trust that has your back is rare; build it on purpose.
- When you invite people, speak from the heart and skip the pitch.

## Transcript

_Cleaned transcript from the Asker barn, dated April 29, 2018. It is cleaned speech recognition and may differ slightly from the spoken words; a few garbled lines are left as transcribed. Arnie did not watch the video._

**Daniel:**  
The biggest reasons I think you should attend the Enterprising Men’s Conference is because this isn’t just some way we’ve dreamed up to sell some tickets to something. This is a problem that I’ve had for four years as an entrepreneur. This solves a big piece of it: being connected, being supported, being understood, being able to relate, to find significance and recognition. These are all the things we’re building this around and that’s a great reason to come.  

It’s just thinking about social media — how useless it is. You know, your LinkedIn and your life to the hall that your mouse to mouse, not man to man. The Enterprising Men’s Conference is for you to get belly-to-belly, toe-to-toe with a real man who understands and cares.  

The issues that I had years ago is that I sat in a seat that Bill Gates just left at lunch. I had missed him by that much in a meeting. If you ever wanted to know who’s at the meeting beforehand so you really study up on who’s there, who you want to meet, and then afterward you can go back and connect with them. Yeah, that’s what this is about.  

Product, marketing, finance. You are excellent at delivering one of those three. The other two are wound in your business stupid. Product, marketing, finance — you’re gonna be passionately great at delivering one of those three. It’s highly unlikely you have the skill sets to do all three.  

Part of what we’re delivering with this conference is a marketing infusion that you won’t believe. Your video transcribed, turned into an article, back-linked, pushed through 97 websites in your metro and across social media as soon as you sign up — before the conference, during the conference, long after the conference. That’s just the tip of the iceberg for where we’re going with this.  

There’s a really big one. Have you ever stepped on something in business that you just really wish you hadn’t — learned something the hard way? Imagine being able to learn something from other guys so you don’t have to. At one simple lesson I can demonstrate to you I lost a half a million dollars in it. You don’t need to do that. That’s what the conference is about — filled with these insights and warnings and knowledge about who you are and where you’re going and what you’re good at and what you suck at and who else can fill that void.  

That’s what this conference is about. Things that you will save time, save money, heartache, woundings to you and your kids. You think I care passionately about it? Let me tell you this is a really big point. Part of connecting with other guys — someone that you can trust, someone who has your back. You gotta go put your life on the line in the military for that or dedicate yourself four years of missions or some other cause. Imagine we bring the cause to you where someone’s got your back, someone cares, that someone is there and available to help out, to guide you, to warn you, to give you some good ideas you hadn’t thought of. That’s some interesting stuff you should think about. Sorry I just said if someone had just told me some of the — I should watch out for that man I would pay anything for that. You can’t believe some of the things that happen. Went well he just can’t.  

If you’re enterprising I’m probably failed more than anybody I know because I’m constantly experimenting on things. Do you know what that’s worth? To show up in a place where you get to glean the insights from older guys, from younger guys, from guys that are willing to share that — that’s priceless.  

Tickets pretty cheap considering it. If you’re watching this you’ve had a personal invitation from Angelina, myself, or our team. We’ve taken the time to find out some things about you and that’s why we’re reaching out inviting you to be a part of a very select group.  

And part of the reason that this is all done in little shots is that my rant comes right from my heart. It’s not a sales pitch — as you can tell this is something we feel deeply about. We want you to value and benefit from it as well.  

So to summarize: if you really yearn to be part of a community that understands what the journey is about and how to get there in the long run, this event’s for you. If you’re tired of theory and ideas pitched to you that are not applicable, come to this conference. You’re gonna get a whole bunch of tools for your kit you can immediately go home and start tweaking things with. And if you’re leery of the pitch being made you all throughout the conference — this one’s for you because there’s no pitching. This is about practical take-home relationships and tools that will transform who you understand yourself to be and how your enterprise fashions that follows that.  

Obviously from my heart you can tell we’re on the road. We’d like to meet you face to face. We’d like to get to know each other in advance and start adding value from the very first conversation. So somewhere around this video you’ll find a number to text me at and we can start that conversation immediately. I really hope that you’ll join us for the Enterprising Men’s Conference.
