Inside the 3-Day Think Tank: David Gonzalez Launches New Format Where World-Class Founders Teach Each Other

Inside the 3-Day Think Tank: David Gonzalez Launches New Format Where World-Class Founders Teach Each Other

Yahoo18-06-2025
AUSTIN, Texas, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most masterminds follow the same tired script: pack a room, bring in paid speakers, fill the stage with sponsor pitches, and treat attendees like targets. David Gonzalez just blew that model up with his newly evolved 3-Day Think Tank—a curated workshop-and-think tank experience where no one's pitched to, and everyone is there to build.Gonzalez, who runs one of the top affiliate and partnership networks in the U.S., doesn't need Think Tank as a revenue stream. 'My main business already generates strong revenue. This isn't my livelihood—it's my labor of love,' he says. 'That's why every detail of the experience is designed around real value. No stage pitches. No upsells. Just world-class founders helping each other win.'
Not Speakers. Not Gurus. Just Founders.
There are no paid speakers. In fact, there are no speakers at all in the traditional sense. Every single person in the room could headline a major conference. But here, they're not speakers—they're contributors.
And this isn't just a place where attendees sit passively in chairs. It's a room filled with founders who've built $10M, $100M, and even billion-dollar businesses—showing up to work, not to perform.
Private Think Tanks Come First
At the heart of the format are Private Think Tank Sessions—deep, 3-hour hot seats that take place in the guest house. These are not open mic sessions. They're focused, high-stakes problem-solving experiences where 5 to 7 elite founders dive into one person's biggest challenge until it's cracked wide open.
Many of the experts involved don't just happen to be attending. They fly in specifically to serve on these hot seats—world-class operators selected for their ability to generate massive breakthroughs. It's not unusual for these conversations to unlock millions in revenue or operational clarity on the spot.
'The think tanks are the secret weapon,' Gonzalez says. 'It's the purest version of a mastermind I've ever seen—no egos, no fluff, just precision insight from people who've actually done it.'
Hands-On Workshops With Deployable Tools
Complementing the think tanks are founder-led workshops in the main house, shaped by a single question sent to participants weeks in advance: 'What session would make you skip lunch to attend?'
The most recent Think Tank included sessions like:
Keith Breseé, architect of Dave Ramsey's $200M content empire and Manscaped's viral growth, delivered a plug-and-play content calendar that drives traffic and revenue across industries.
Patrick Stiles, founder of Vidalytics, used $3B+ in video data to teach split-testing frameworks and scripts responsible for multi-million-dollar launches.
Jared Todd, founder of THIRA Partners, shared hiring systems used by 10+ billionaire entrepreneurs and portfolio companies of Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z).
These weren't theory-heavy keynotes. Attendees left with SOPs, templates, and frameworks designed to deploy Monday morning.
A True Mastermind Experience
The main house is intentionally structured for organic 'drop-in intelligence'—conversations that unfold in the cigar lounge, around the fire pit, or during a casual game of pickleball. The environment is relaxed, but the ideas exchanged are anything but.'This isn't a cattle call,' Gonzalez says. 'You're not just a number helping me hit revenue goals. You're part of a hand-selected membership, and the vibe of the group is sacred.'
There are no speakers to sell you anything. No sponsors pitching from stage. No one paid to be there to 'close the room.' Everyone in attendance was chosen based on merit, contribution, and alignment.
What's Next
Future 3-Day Think Tanks are already being scoped for Dubai, Barcelona, Manila, and São Paulo. But the format will remain capped at 50 attendees, max. The exclusivity is the value.
Applications for future cohorts are now open at www.3daythinktank.com.

Universal Logistics sees impact of tariffs on Q2 revenue, earnings

Transportation provider Universal Logistics Holdings reported a decline in second quarter earnings and revenue due to lower intermodal volumes and slow demand, company officials said. Universal Logistics Holdings released its second-quarter results after the market closed on Thursday and held an earnings call Friday. The company reported second quarter revenue of $393.8 million, a 15% year-over-year decrease. Adjusted earnings per share decreased 73% year-over-year to 32 cents during the quarter. 'The second quarter of 2025 remained a challenging environment across the transportation and logistics industry,' CEO Tim Phillips said. Universal Logistics (Nasdaq: ULH) is a Warren, Michigan-based truckload transportation, intermodal and logistics provider. The company provides services across the U.S, Mexico, Canada and Colombia and has more than 10,000 employees. The company missed Wall Street analysts' forecasts for revenue of $398.5 million and earnings per share of 34 cents in the second quarter. 'The contract logistics segment remains the cornerstone of our results,' Phillips said. 'Revenues were $260.6 million, down slightly from Q2 of last year. The integration of Parsec continues to progress smoothly and it contributed $55 million in revenue during the quarter.' Universal Logistics acquired rail terminal operator Parsec for $193.6 million in September. Cincinnati-based Parsec provides terminal management services at 20 rail yards across North America. The company specializes in container lift services for Class I, regional and short-line railroads. Universal Logistics currently operates 87 value-added programs, including 20 rail terminals, up from 68 programs a year ago. 'We are confident in the stability and long-term growth prospects of this segment, especially as we integrate our expanded footprint and pursue new contract opportunities,' Phillips said. In the company's intermodal segment, revenue decreased 13.5% year-over-year in the second quarter to $68.9 million. During the second quarter, Universal saw a 12.9% year-over-year decrease in intermodal load volumes, caused by less imports, Phillips said. 'I think the tariffs did have an impact on our intermodal division and imports coming into the country,' Phillips said. 'The way I saw it is we saw a general fall off in some of our normal volumes somewhere in the middle to end of May, and that lasted generally through the month of June. It appears that that fall off was specifically highlighted from discount retailers that had a large presence of Chinese sourcing.' The trucking segment saw a 29.9% year-over-year decrease in second quarter revenue at $45.9 million. On a year-over-year basis, trucking load volumes declined 22.6%, and the average operating revenue per load, excluding fuel surcharges, declined 8.9% to $1,927. Company officials said there has been less demand for raw materials, along with goods such as wind turbines, that has contributed to softer demand in the trucking market. 'We haul blades, we haul towers, and we haul components. That business was impacted negatively in the first half of the year, primarily because of tariffs,' CFO Jude Beres said. 'A lot of those components are imported, but I think the cadence that we're seeing in the back half of the year should make up for the shortfall in that business that we experienced in the first half. And then of course, we have a pretty clear runway now with the one big beautiful bill on what's going to happen for the next five years through 2030. I think most of the headwinds in the wind side of the business are going to be manageable and start to improve in the coming quarters.'
