NP2NYC™ · North Pole to New York City
The
The business conference you actually want to go on.
Flip flops. Sunscreen. 180-day commitments. Bring the family.
Norwegian AquaJanuary 20274 Destinations20 Spots Total
You have been to the conference in the hotel ballroom. You have done the Zoom mastermind. You have sat in the folding chair under fluorescent lighting and talked about your goals while everyone secretly checked their phones.
This is not that.
This is a Caribbean cruise with people who are serious about their business, serious about their life, and serious about the fact that those two things do not have to live in separate buckets. We are doing the work. We are also in the water.
Why a week
I thought about three days. I thought about five. And then I thought about the reality: you are going to spend time and money and energy getting to this ship. You might bring people you love. You might cross time zones. If you land and immediately have to pack up and leave, you never actually got there.
Seven days gives your brain a chance to decompress, to open up, to get genuinely receptive to new thinking. Day one you're still checking email. By day three you've stopped. By day five you're having the conversation you've needed to have for six months. That's the point.
For the business
What worked. What didn't. What you're carrying that doesn't belong in the next six months. We do this together, with receipts.
For the next 180
There is something that happens when you say your commitment in a room — or on a deck — with other people who mean it. We leave with a plan and a witness.
For the human
Partners, kids, friends, whoever. Business and life are not separate categories here. Your eleven-year-old is welcome. So are flip flops.
The Inaugural Excursion
I have personally been to Puerto Plata and Great Stirrup Cay. Both are phenomenal. St. Thomas and Tortola are two of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean — St. Thomas for the beaches and the shopping, Tortola for the raw beauty and the BVI energy. This is not a random itinerary. Four stops, all of them worth getting off the ship for. We just happen to be doing the best business planning of the year while we're there.
Puerto Plata — Dominican Republic
This stop is one of the best-kept secrets on the itinerary. Right as you get off the ship, there is a free beach and lazy river complex waiting for you. No excursion booking required. No upcharge. You walk off and you are in it. I will be in that lazy river for hours. Families, kids, solo travelers — this stop delivers for everyone, and it costs nothing extra.
Great Stirrup Cay — Norwegian's Private Island
Norwegian's private island — and the large pool is free and open to everyone. We were here in June 2026 and it was incredible. The water park was still being finished when we visited, so this January trip will be the first time we get to explore it fully. We are ready.
Norwegian also offers solo cabins — so if you're traveling alone and don't want a roommate or to pay a solo supplement, there are options built specifically for you.
You book your own cruise, your own airfare, your own cabin. I will share my travel agent as a resource — they are exceptional. But nothing travel-related flows through me. You handle it exactly the way you want to handle it.
Let's be clear
A group trip you have to coordinate through Tamsen. You book your own cruise, cabin, and flights directly with Norwegian.
A $50,000 mastermind that requires you to leave your family behind to attend. Bring everyone.
A rigid agenda with back-to-back sessions that make you feel like you're still at the office. The ship has a pool.
A trip for people who are not serious. If you're here, you are showing up to do the work.
A deliberate pause between two six-month commitments, held in a place that makes your brain work better.
A ship full of people who are doing the same thing you are and want to talk about it.
A 60-day lead-up community inside PBK so you know each other before you get on the ship.
A curated departure box that ships to you before you leave — because this is an occasion.
The business experience you have always wanted to go on and nobody has ever thrown.
Why this works
I have been to the conferences where you choose between Track A, Track B, and Track C — and everything you want is scheduled at the same time. That is not this. What we do together will reflect what matters to the specific group of people who are there.
The 60-day window
The pre-trip community is where we zero in on what the group actually needs for the next 180 days. The experience on the ship reflects those answers.
The group size
Twenty people total. You will know everyone's name. You will not have to choose between the cool people — there are not so many that you run out of time to actually connect.
The ship
Food allergies, entertainment preferences, kids who want the waterslide, adults who want the spa — the Norwegian Aqua handles all of it. Boutique group. Full-size ship. Nobody compromises.
The topics
AI and legal and AI will be very hot topics — and I am prepared to go deep on both. But what we create space for will be driven by who is actually there.
A day on The Excursion
There is no agenda handed to you. No schedule that requires you to be somewhere at 8am in business casual. This is co-created by the group. Here are the kinds of things that tend to emerge naturally.
The Norwegian Aqua
Brand new ship, incredible spaces. Watch the ship tour above to understand the vibe before you book.
If you want to be seen
The privacy section below is about protection by default. This is about what's possible when you choose to show up. None of this is on a schedule. None of it is required. But the content that comes out of being in this room — this ship — is the kind you cannot manufacture back home in front of a ring light.
🎙
Participants can be interviewed for Scenic Route and for NP2NYC™. If you have wanted a guest interview and the content that comes with it, this is yours to use in your own publicity.
🎤
If you have a podcast or YouTube channel and would like to interview me, I am available. Legal and AI, NP2NYC™ framework, straight-line sales — bring your angle.
🎬
Real content, real locations, real Caribbean backdrop. Walk away with material you are genuinely excited to use — because it actually looks good.
⚖️
The legal landscape around AI is shifting faster than most people can track. I am an attorney and I am deep in this space. Those conversations are available.
You will leave with things you are genuinely excited to share. None of it manufactured. All of it real.
Something worth saying
I personally have held back from joining masterminds and attending experiences I actually wanted to be part of — because I did not want to end up on someone's social media without choosing it myself. I do not like when a host screenshots my face and tags me to promote their thing. And I know I am not alone in this.
So here is the policy for The Excursion:
No group photos will be posted without your explicit, individual permission.
No identifying pictures or video of attendees will be used in any promotional content.
If you want to share that you're here — on your own channels, in your own way — you are absolutely welcome to do that.
Nobody is sharing it for you without asking first.
This is your experience. You get to decide who knows you were on it.
The calendar
The Excursion happens twice a year — January and July. The 180 runs alongside it in two six-month cohorts. Both anchor into the larger NP2NYC™ annual rhythm. Action August and Flight February are annual events. The whole system is designed to send you into each one already running.

Two ways in
Both spots are limited. Both include the departure box. One includes six months of doing the work together.
Your host
I am not coaching from above. I am not the person who figured it all out and now tells you what to do. I am running my own 180 days — my own commitments, my own numbers, my own hard conversations — right alongside everyone in The 180.
What I love about my son Kip's hockey coach is that when the kids do off-ice training, the coach does the workouts with them. That is the model. I am in the gym. I am doing the reps. I am sharing the wins and the struggles.
Tad is coming. He'll be eleven. He is not a kids club kid — he'll just be around, part of the group. My family is part of how I do this. Yours is welcome too.
Questions
No. The Excursion and The 180 are open to anyone. PBK members will recognize the NP2NYC™ framework we work from, but you do not need to be a member first.
Your spot at The Excursion, the curated departure box that ships before the trip, the pre-trip community access inside PBK, and the guided planning sessions on board. It does not cover the cruise, cabin, airfare, or anything travel-related. You handle all of that directly with Norwegian or your own travel agent.
Yes — and they are encouraged. The cruise is yours to book however you want. Norwegian has activities for kids of all ages. Norwegian also has solo cabin options if you're traveling alone and don't want a roommate or a solo supplement.
The $397 trip fee and the $4,500 investment in The 180 very likely qualify as business education expenses. As always, consult your accountant. The cruise itself may partially qualify depending on how your trip is structured.
The 180 cohort runs whether or not you get on the ship. The cruise is the anchor event, not the whole experience. If travel doesn't work out, you stay in the cohort, you get the departure box, and you get your spot on the next one first.
Twice a year — January and July. Once you've been, you get first right of refusal before it opens to anyone new. The group stays small by design.
The 180 is a six-month mentormind cohort — September 2026 through February 2027 (and then March 2027 - August 2027) — capped at 10 people. It includes The Excursion trip fee, Tamsen's cell number for direct text access, monthly group calls, and Tamsen working her own 180 days alongside yours. The trip fee is included whether you get on the ship or not.
January 2027 · 20 Spots Total
10 trip-only spots. 10 cohort spots. A departure box with your name on it. Starlink on the ship. People who mean it, in the water with you, planning the next six months of their life and business.
