the Young founders luxury retreat


A Note From the Founder, Byron Dempsey (middle)
I started Driven Young because I was exhausted.
Not from working hard.
I was exhausted from doing it alone.
From talking to people who didn't get it.
From optimising my business but neglecting myself.
From endless content that gave me information but never transformation.
Here's what I realised:
I didn't need another course.
I didn't need to grind harder.
I needed to be in a room with people who understood.
People who could see things in me I couldn't see in myself.

This is for you if:
You're 20-35.
Running a high-revenue-generating business.
(or decent profit).
Tired of doing this alone.
You know you're your most valuable asset.
But you've been neglecting yourself.
You don't need more frameworks.
You need to become someone different.
And you know that doesn't happen from another podcast.
You're ready to be vulnerable.
To be challenged.
To connect with 29 other founders who will become lifelong friends.

This is NOT for you if:
You want a networking event.
You can't commit to a full week.
Need to have access to your phone.
You're not ready for the inner work.
You want to stay comfortable.

Why a full week?
Because transformation doesn't happen in a day.
72% of entrepreneurs battle mental health issues.
34% have faced burnout.
You'll spend months spinning.
Burning out.
Feeling isolated.
Or invest one week now.
Leave with a 90-day game plan.
29 founder friends who get it.
Clarity and energy you've been chasing.
Past founders increased revenue.
Improved team culture.
Finally felt like they weren't alone.
One week vs. six months of confusion.

Who you'll be with:
This isn't open enrolment.
You'll apply.
We'll have a call.
I personally vet every founder.
Most applicants are pre-revenue. We turn them away.
20-30 people max.
High Revenue or profit.
Ages 20-35.
Gender diverse.
Some scaling fast.
Some just starting.
All building something real.
Not wannabes.
Not "business bros."
Just founders ready to be honest.
If you're 20-35 and generating real revenue, you're a statistical outlier.
The average successful founder is 42.
You're rare. Everyone here is, too.

What happens:
Private villa.
Mornings: yoga and breathwork.
Then workshops.
Challenges.
Masterminds.
Strategic sessions.
Incredible food.
Free time to think.
Processes that push you.
Exploring.
Each day is different.
Some days you'll be exhausted.
Some days you'll have breakthroughs.
Every day you'll be around people who understand.

The real question:
Can you afford another six months alone?
Burning out while optimising your business but not yourself?
45% of founders under 34 say failure is their top stressor.
31% experience burnout from lack of support.
39% feel like they have no one to talk to.
Having information but no transformation?
This isn't another retreat.
It's a reset.
If you're ready, download the Itinerary and apply.
Book in for a call with me.
Not a sales person.
A call founder to founder.
— Byron Dempsey
Founder, Driven Young. Connect with your potential.


You're building a business.
But you're doing it alone.
Burnt out. Isolated. Surrounded by people who don't get it.
You've optimised everything except the one thing that matters most.
Yourself.
This is the reset.
A week with 30 vetted founders.
Physical challenges. Emotional breakthroughs. Strategic clarity.
You'll leave with a 90-day plan, lifelong friends, and the energy you've been chasing.

Luxury Private Villa
luxury villa with private chef, pool, sauna, ice baths, yoga shala, gym, and cinema.

Founders just like you, 20–35
Curated so you’re surrounded by legit business owners, not wannabes.

Work ON, Not IN Your Business
Clarity, perspective, high-level brainstorming and breakthroughs you can’t get on online.

Designed to Challenge You
Workshops that push you emotionally, mentally, and physically - this retreat is focused on pushing you.

Mastermind & Speaker Sessions
learn directly from founders and operators actually doing the thing.

Complete Detox & Reset
Step back from distractions, clean food only, deep reset for body + mind, breathwork, yoga and more.

When an army retreats, it isn’t defeat.
It’s strategy.
They pull back, regroup, recover, and come back stronger.
This is exactly what this retreat is designed for.
A step back to come back sharper.
Re-energised with focus and clarity on your next moves.
Most founders struggle to take a holiday.
It feels like “slacking off.”
This retreat isn’t that.
It’s:
ROI-positive → you’ll return sharper, more focused, and with stronger connections.
Team-approved → they’ll see you investing in yourself to lead them better.
Actually fun → you’ll have memories you’ll never get from another Zoom call.

I was challenged to step outside my comfort zone, and in doing so, I discovered an unwaveringgggg connection to myself. Being in a space where you can truly see yourself,and witness others in ways you never usually get to..is profoundly transformative.
As a business owner, it helped me reconnect to who I am beyond my work and approach everything from a founder focused, heart led perspective.
The growth, clarity, and empowerment I experienced rippled into every area of my life and business!!! To anyone considering it: say yes to yourself. DO IT. This retreat doesn’t just meet you where you are....it elevates everything you thought was possible. Thank you, Driven Young.

When you put 30 people in a room that are all seeking to better themselves and are deeply passionate about creating deep authentic connections, you really shouldn't be surprised at what comes out of it - but oh my god I am so blown away just how transformative and fulfilling this retreat experience has been.
I have never seen myself or my life with so much clarity, compassion and connection.
It's like they've taught us how to view through a different lens, and showed us how sometimes you can't see when you need to take your own glasses off and give them a wipe, but others around you can - and when they look at you and truly see you, they won't hesitate for a second to tell you to and wait for you to take off the lenses, clean them, and put them back on.

I literally found my purpose in life during the retreat. Going in to this retreat, my goal was to reconnect with my authentic self.
Going out, I have gained immense focus and clarity which I will carry forward in life.
With the addition of being able to deeply connect with a group of like-minded people, I am so glad I did the DY Bali Retreat.


Kirsten - 25
Retreat was one of the most challenging but fulfilling weeks I’ve had in a long time.
The overwhelming feeling of joy, sadness, pain and accomplishment all at once was an absolute whirlwind and something I’ll always remember fondly. I was pushed to my limits mentally, physically, emotionally but in the absolute best way possible.
Would highly recommend going along to retreat if you wish to better yourself, form deep connection with others and experience the beauty of Bali in a way I haven’t seen before.
