AI, Jewelry, and the Power of a Walk

In partnership with

OK, hear me out…

What if your next business breakthrough happened around a campfire instead of a conference table?

This summer, we’re offering an exclusive opportunity to step away from the daily grind and reconnect with nature, clarity, and deep conversations—with just your people, in a completely private, off-grid setting.

Here’s the deal:

🛖 Your own private retreat in the forest – A secluded cedar grove with bell tents that sleep four on ultra-comfy memory foam cots.
🔥 Bonfires under the stars – Real conversations happen when the fireflies come out.
🍽️ Catered meals – Enjoy great food without lifting a finger.
💦 Creekside relaxation – Dip your toes or take a refreshing plunge.
🧖‍♂️ Wood-fired sauna – Because sweat is a great detox, physically and mentally.
🌿 Forest therapy – Optional guided experiences to help you slow down and gain clarity.
🔋 Off-grid, but not disconnected – A solar setup lets you charge your devices as needed.

For $1,000 per tent, you and up to three friends (or team members) get a whole week—stay as many nights as you’d like. One private group per week, June through early October. We can accommodate up to 10 tents (so, up to 40 people).

This isn’t a typical retreat center (yet), and it’s not a campground. It’s a rare chance to experience nature on private land, with the space, solitude, and inspiration you need to breathe, think, and dream.

Jesse Korby has a habit that makes him look a little... unhinged.

He walks outside and talks to himself. Out loud.

To anyone watching, he probably seems like he’s having a full-blown argument with a tree.

But here’s the thing—he’s onto something.

The co-founder of Jewelers Advantage, Jesse is flipping the jewelry industry on its head by integrating AI with traditional retail. And those big, industry-shaking ideas? They don’t come from doomscrolling or staring at a screen all day. They come from stepping outside, moving, and letting his brain do its thing.

Science backs him up—forward motion helps process stress and unlock new ideas. Jesse just figured it out the old-school way.

AI Meets Diamonds

He’s not some tech bro trying to bulldoze an industry with AI. He studied classical music. (Yes, really.) He knows what it means to create something from nothing. And that perspective? It gives him an edge. AI, in Jesse’s world, isn’t here to replace human creativity. It’s here to amplify it.

The Jewelry Industry Is... Struggling

Jewelry used to be an insiders-only club. Family-run shops. Sales made face-to-face. Secrets passed down like some sacred, glittering gospel. If you weren’t already in, tough luck.

Then e-commerce happened. Then lab-grown diamonds. Now AI. The industry is cracking wide open, and Jesse is handing people the tools to take advantage of it.

Jewelers Advantage offers free AI-powered tools for branding, design, and marketing—essentially giving jewelers their own elite strategy team without the five-figure consulting bill. Need design inspiration? AI can help. Not sure how to stand out? AI’s got ideas. Want to plan an entire month of content in minutes? Done.

Not Everyone Loves Change

When Jesse rolled out his AI tool, people freaked. Some jewelers loved it. Others, not so much. A few industry groups pretty much banned him. That’s how you know you’re onto something.

But here’s the deal: disruption happens whether people like it or not. Jesse saw the shift coming and ran toward it. Early adopters followed, and now? They’re winning.

What Entrepreneurs Can Steal from Jesse’s Playbook

1. Go Outside. Seriously.
   Stuck? Go for a walk. There’s a reason your best ideas don’t show up when you’re staring at a blank screen. Get moving. Let nature do its thing.

2. AI Isn’t the Enemy. It’s Your Secret Weapon.
   Jesse isn’t handing jewelers a robot overlord. He’s giving them a power-up. AI doesn’t replace creativity—it enhances it.

3. Disruption = Resistance. Take It as a Compliment.
   If no one’s pushing back, you’re not pushing hard enough. Innovators make people uncomfortable. That’s part of the job.

4. Your Business Should Fit Your Life, Not the Other Way Around.
   Jesse isn’t glued to a desk. He built a system that lets him take those long, idea-sparking walks and still grow a company. AI isn’t just about the jewelry industry—it’s about making work work for you.

The Future Is Wide Open

Jesse and his team aren’t slowing down. They’ve launched Excalibur, a training program that helps entrepreneurs build their own AI-powered jewelry brands. It’s not theory. It’s a system. And it works.

But here’s the bigger takeaway: the future of business isn’t about grinding yourself into dust. It’s about being smart. Using the best tools. Adapting faster than everyone else. And making space—real, physical space—to think.

Jesse found his secret weapon in nature. Maybe it’s time you did too.

Hands down, one of the smartest moves I’ve made was to start the Entrepreneurs Gone Wild Podcast. It gives me a great way to meet new people with the shared goal of getting outdoors more often.

My guests say it’s a win being on the show just because of the opportunity to share their story, inspire some people, and expand their reach. I love being able to serve like that!
