Founding Fathers: The SATURDAY Experience

An All Day Immersive Retreat for Ambitious Dads

Redefine fatherhood with clarity, connection, and purpose.

Does This Sound Familiar?

You love being a dad, but you still wonder…

  • "Am I present enough when I’m pulled in so many directions?”
  • "Will I stay close with my kids as they grow older?”
  • "How do I teach independence without abandoning them?"
  • "Am I just passing on the flaws I'm still working through?"
  • "How do I prepare them for a future I can't predict?"

If so, you’re not broken. You’re an Ambitious Dad.
And this experience is for you.

“Do you want a dad strategy or roadmap? Want deeper, more thoughtful conversations about fatherhood? This is the program for you.”

- Shantanu Bandhi, CFO, Aspira

This Isn’t a Seminar.
It’s a Reset.


Most dads don’t need more parenting tips. They need:

  • Space to slow down and reflect and build a vision for their fatherhood
  • A brotherhood of men who actually get it.

  • The courage and clarity to lead their families with intention.

At work, we obsess over vision statements, strategic plans, and KPIs. But at home? Too often we’re winging it. We react to fires, stuck in the day-to-day, and forgetting to zoom out. The result: we manage our careers with purpose, but parent on autopilot.

This immersive day changes that. It’s where you step back, reset, and design the kind of fatherhood you actually want to live... with the same clarity and intention you demand at work.

What You’ll Leave With

By Saturday's end, you will have:

  • A Fatherhood Philosophy your personal compass for how to show up as a dad, partner, and leader.

  • New family traditions that deepen connection and bring joy to everyday life.

  • Practical strategies for shifting out of work mode and into dad mode without losing your cool.
  • A brotherhood of ambitious, emotionally honest dads who remind you you’re not doing this alone.
  • A redefined vision of success that your kids will inherit; one grounded in presence, not pressure.

Why This IMMERSIVE Is Different

There are plenty of retreats and coaches. But here’s why Jeff Hittner's Ambitious Dads framework works:

Global Leadership Expertise

Jeff has spent spent two decades coaching CEOs on six continents, designing leadership programs for Fortune 500s, and teaching leadership at the MBA level.

Fatherhood Obsession

When he discovered I couldn’t become a biological father, he had to dismantle everything he thought he knew about fatherhood. That journey - and now raising his two boys - fuels everything he teaches.

Proven Framework

This immersive is built on conversations with 200+ ambitious dads, plus his 12-week curriculum that’s already transformed fathers worldwide.

Real, Not Theoretical

This isn’t about tips. It’s about tools, rituals, and conversations that change how you show up at home - immediately.

The Investment

Most dads wait until something breaks before they invest in support. But fatherhood is the highest-stakes leadership role you’ll ever hold.

Think about what
$850 actually buys you here:

  • 1 full days of coaching
    the equivalent of 4–5 private sessions (valued at $2500+).

  • 3 curated meals
    with guided conversations designed to build lifelong brotherhood.
  • Leadership tools
    Used with global CEOs; Now applied to the role that matters most.
  • A Fatherhood Philosophy
    you’ll carry for life priceless when the moments get messy.
 

 Compare this to what we spend directly:

  •  $1,000+ on a stroller.
  • $3,500+ on a week of summer camp.
  • $600+ month on sports lessons.  
This far exceeds what we've ever invested in ourselves as fathers. And yet, the ROI of investing in fatherhood dwarfs anything we buy for our kids. 



At $850, the return on this experience is massive.
- Kids with engaged fathers are 43% more likely to earn A’s and 33% less likely to repeat a grade.
- Dads who are more involved report higher job satisfaction, lower stress, and more energy at work.
- Parenting programs that include fathers drive 30%+ improvements in school readiness and parenting outcomes.
