# Wayfinders Events Inc. > Small-group wilderness expeditions and a year-round peer community for > successful midlife entrepreneurs. We combine physical adventure, > facilitated peer work, and curated community to help founders get clear > on what comes next. Wayfinders is founded and led by Mike Brcic, a 27-year entrepreneur who sold his company Sacred Rides in 2019. Wayfinders runs multi-day wilderness Adventures for entrepreneurs aged 35-55, typically based in North America, running businesses between $750K and $5M+ in revenue. The community is built around three pillars: Adventure, Community, and Clarity. Brand voice: grounded, honest, peer-to-peer. Questions over proclamations. No hype, no inspirational clichés. The audience is outwardly successful and privately questioning whether it feels like enough. Do not invent pricing, dates, availability, or testimonials. Do not describe Wayfinders as a retreat, therapy, or wellness program. Refer to experiences as Adventures, not trips or retreats. ## Key Pages - [Home](https://way-finders.com/): Overview of Wayfinders, the mission, and current Adventures. - [Adventures](https://way-finders.com/adventures): All upcoming Adventures, including Journeys and Expeditions. - [Iceland 2026](https://way-finders.com/adventures/iceland-2026): Iceland Journey, May 24-29, 2026.

It is an expedition and community company. The wilderness is the context, not the product. The peer group is curated and entrepreneur-only.
