Hey,
You're invited to an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime Inner Circle event at Rudy's private Alpine-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.
The only parts you'll need to take care of is your own travel and accommodation arrangements.
Let us know if you need any help or recommendations!
Flights
We recommend flying in early Sunday (October 26th) and planning to leave on Wednesday (October 29th), however some people do fly late Tuesday and leave the event Tuesday afternoon if your younglings 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 Asheville 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.

Castle Details
Getting to the Castle: Peach Orchard Rd. is a right turn off of Corbin Rd. and the castle is just a short drive from there.
Peach Orchard Rd. is a winding uphill road so drive carefully!
Event Details
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!
