Founders, here’s a cheat code. Every Sunday go for a long run (or walk) outside while listening to @FoundersPodcast. It will remind you: - The journey is the reward - What you’re working on is hard, but not impossible - Success often takes decades - You’re not alone - You can do this By the end of the podcast you’ve: - Burned good calories - Learned strategy and tactics from history’s greatest leaders - Reset yourself to focus on what’s most important this week

Founders: Sell value, not features.

The Caravaggio Dining Experience As the curtains rise on a new season of artistic culinary experiences, we invite you to partake in an evening of unprecedented drama, rich flavors, and transformative art. In an extraordinary collaboration with The Art Institute of Chicago, we present a singular dining event that pays homage to the Baroque brilliance of Caravaggio. The experience includes a 5-course tasting menu meticulously designed by Entrée's Executive Chef, Alex Carnovale, formerly of three Michelin-star restaurants, The French Laundry and Frantzen. The experience is an artistic journey to bring Caravaggio's iconic use of chiaroscuro-the play of Light and shadow-into the culinary realm. Each course is a sensorial masterpiece designed to stir your soul, much like the art that inspired it. EXPERIENCE DETAILS - Dates: Thursday (Oct 12th) - Sunday (Oct 15th) - Seatings: 5:30 PM, 8 PM - Venue: 1639 S Wabash Ave (South Loop) - Courses: 5 Courses including dessert - Veg Option: Yes - Beverage Pairing: Optional Cloak yourself in your finest attire and prepare for an evening where Baroque art and modern gastronomy converge in a symphony of flavors and emotions. Pairings have been curated to enhance each course, promising a symphony of flavors and emotions, much like Caravaggio's iconic work. Seats are limited, and this journey is a unique one-of-a-kind experience. Kindly RSVP to secure your spot: form.typeform.com/to/ymSUrzh3 A reservation concierge will follow up with more details about the experience, finalize your selections, and confirm your participation. We look forward to sharing this unforgettable evening with you. In deepest gratitude, Entrée
